The UFC Middleweight champion Israel Adesanya is going to face the Light Heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz in a super matchup at UFC 259’s main event.
‘Polish Powerhouse’ Blachowicz will be defending his newly won title against the likes of ‘The Last Stylebender’. In a recent interview with Helen Lee, former two-division champion Daniel Cormier shared the prediction for this fight.
Cormier says, “It’s a tough fight, it’s a tough fight, It’s crazy because Jan Blachowicz has not gotten the respect that he deserves. This guy has beaten everyone that has tried to come up against him in his recent run.”
“Jan Blachowicz is going to be at a bit of a disadvantage in terms of speed with Israel Adesanya. Star power – Israel Adesanya. There are a lot of things swaying in Izzy’s favor, and if he can win this fight, he will skyrocket to the moon.”
“I was on First Take the other day and they asked me who’s on the radar, who can be that next breakout star, I said Israel Adesanya, that guy has everything – he’s got the look, he’s got the charisma, he’s got the fighting style,”
“But the one thing is, there’s just no room for error in a fight against Jan Blachowicz. He can’t get hit one time. He gets hit by Jan, he’s in trouble.”
Daniel Cormier believes it isn’t going to be an easy task for Adesanya
Although, Jan Blachowicz is entering this fight as an underdog but Daniel Cormier believes it isn’t going to be a cakewalk for Adesanya to beat Jan. Cormier added, “It’s a good fight,”
“Izzy seems to hold the advantages, a lot of people think he’s going up because it’s Jan holding the title, but the room for error is so small that it makes it a dangerous fight for Israel Adesanya.”
“Jan has unreal knockout power and if he hits you, he’ll put you out. Every guy that’s gone up from middleweight so far – Luke Rockhold, Jacare Souza, he smashes them. He doesn’t play around with these dudes going up – and Israel Adesanya, you’d better be careful.”
