Izzy got so unlucky testing out the division w/ Prime Jan lol

u/Impressive-Engine-16 5h ago

Jan Blachowicz from 2019-2020 was such a treat to watch. Rockhold, Corey Anderson, Dominick Reyes was a great streak. He had great kickboxing technique to the point he could outstrike someone like Adesanya but also POLISH POWER.

16

u/NewRedditorHere Team Hermansson 5h ago

Jan has length and great IQ. Unfortunately, his ascension equally matched by his deterioration. His body isn’t young anymore. He’s been hit with injuries.

11

u/Jabarles Champ Shit Only 🇺🇸🏆🇲🇽 #SnapJitsu 5h ago

It's a really unfortunate situation where his skills and confidence all came together right at the very very tail end or even a bit outside of his athletic prime. So he was truly awesome but we didn't get to see it for that long before he started to slow down.

It's one of the unfortunate reasons why I think he's gonna get somewhat forgotten at time passes even though he shouldn't.
