    Addessanya surly too fast and skilful for Jan . Hope addessanya wins so it keeps the possibility of a jones fight alive but would love to see him take a nap too

    Pulling for a Jan win here.

    I want to like Izzy but he rubs me up the wrong way. Would like to see him humbled.

    I like any out come from this fight, although I don't like israels striking defense in general and want that exposed but Jan may not be the man.

    And she's already beaten her twice!

    I agree about it being the only option, but it shows how good she is when the only fight that makes any sort of sense is against someone she has already beaten twice.

    Personally I think Valentina won that second fight. It was close but I thought Valentina landed more often and cleaner. But you're right, it shows how amazing Nunes is that it's even the only fight left for her to take. Dana better make that fight next or else he's basically the bald version of Oscar De La Hoya making nonsense fights.

    Regardless I hope it is a quick enough one. I'm starting to fade.

    Jaysus, this looks like an open-weight fight.

    Tense and cagey first round.

    Feels like longer this goes on with not much happening, more it may suit Izzy?

    Not much in this at all but Jan edges that round for me.

    Not that you'd know from listening to Rogan & DC

    I'd have it a round apiece so far but it's a stinker.

    Agree, they love Izzy a bit too much.

    They said Izzy is outstriking Jan. I don't know what fight they are watching cause Jan is landing the better shots.

    Their bias is ridiculous and overall the commentary is awful. A light heavyweight title fight and in the first round they're just bantering away. Always hard with no crowd but the commentators detracting from any sense of occasion.

    Rogan saying Jan is being outstruck then a minute later Jon Anik says that jan has landed more significant strikes. Says it all.

    Despite the lads again going on about Jan being hurt, I think that was Jan's round again.

    Better shots and better grappling.

    2-1 Jan but who knows?

    Have it 2-1 to Blachowicz. Though with the way the cards have been tonight the only one I'd predict with the judges would be the first round to Adesanya.

    Izzy's right hand might be banjaxed. Didn't throw it once in the last three minutes of the round and was holding it the odd time.

    Izzy is a bit b boring most of the time if I'm honest, 2-1 up anyway.

    Izzy looking less confident in the corner than during the last round.

    Rogan has picked Izzy’s side and that’s the end of it, regardless of what happens.

    If you put together a supercut of all the "OOOHHHHHHHHH"s from tonight about 80% of the strikes were blocked. Meanwhile they'll be bantering when low-key shots actually stun.

    It's like they expect an Izzy KO, so everything else in the fight is just a preamble to what they think will happen.

    No point talking Jan up because he's not going to win
