It’s funny how Robert Whittaker said he wants to wait till February, March because his baby is coming in late December and Dana started lying and said he doesn’t want to fight. Jan comes in with the same issue, but this is the fight that’s being made instead.
Dana just wanted an excuse to make the bigger money fight, which is fine, but don’t lie on your fighters (especially Rob, come on) to get your way.
Facts
I agree with this!
NO youre all stupid and wrong lmao Rob litterally doesnt want to fight Izzy HOW do you not see that?
Robert:"I want another crack at Adesanya!"
Dana: "Robert doesnt want to fight Adesanya"
Come on bro, Rob hesitated when asked if Izzy was his next opponent. He admitted that Izzy is a hard fight for him. It would be different if the only reason to not fight him next is because of the baby.
What a likeable human being.. awesome energy
100% not falling for the weasel questions either
I agree man, seems like a genuinely nice guy
Definitely, I was hilarious when he said " I think its a good idea, I like it"😂
Ariel is a great guy
@@LosPhoenix lol
He's such a straight talker, its simple but refreshing to listen to lol
one of my freinds is polish and he is very similar
When English isn’t your first language, you tend to be more straight forward with your words lol. But I love listening to him as well
@@ppvplug3940 He behaves same speaking Polish
@@milomilo3737 I’m not talking about his behavior
@@ppvplug3940 I mean he is straight forward in Polish as well but more eloquent in a way
polite, confident, always chukling....he is like a polish robert whittaker
Seen this movie before😳🤣
Will be slept like Robert Whittaker and new
@@QuaDear unfortunately
@@tak5256 izzy is way quicker thank anyone jan has ever fought. he has polish power but he's gotta land. easier said than done
@@adub92199 Jan's bigger than anyone Izzy's ever fought though... They're both impressive fighters either way, it's gonna be an awesome fight.
I didn’t know much about Jan before this interview but wow he’s such a likeable guy
Every time a casual wants to jump on the new hype train they always make this excuse. They start making some excuse about how the fighter is *"such a likeable guy"*
When you see a casual calling some one a casual for calling out another casual
Lol
@@rocroca7459 sometimes people wanted to root for good guys and sometimes people rooting for the villains too regardless.
cool dude
"I don't care about Jon Jones right now i don't know what he's doing, he tried to catch the thief with shotgun yeah?" lmao
11:07
He watches MOJAHED FUDAILAT 👌🏻🔥👏🏻
Jan is fkn hilarious haha
I love that even Jan can comfortable troll on Jon Jones 😂
Lol
I lmao-ed yr mother. She liked it.
Ariel pronouncing peoples names is actually the most accurate hit ratio in UFC.
John Anik is better says DC but hey
It’s annoying
@@thomasgreek9871 hhow is it annoying? Would you like to be called Thomas grek?
@@Nani-Secondo Yeah my real name is in Polish and I literally changed it because people can't pronounce my real name.
@@thomasgreek9871 Na Ni Lets call him Thomas Ge'rik. It sounds nicer and he shouldn't mind because pronouncing it correctly is just annoying.
I love Jans personality and energy
Ariel is a trouble maker😂😂😂
Fr!! Lmao
👃🏽
Agree 300%
That's his job doe lol
Lmaoo he's so petty
I like how his confidence isn't like in a cocky way. It's like just confidence at its finest lol
I would love to just sit down and have a beer with Jan, this guy has such a heart and you can tell he's a good person
Izzy is dangerous but do not ever sleep on Jan
Precision beats powerrrrrrrrr
I agree, I'm still picking Izzy though
i wont sleep on him but ill sleep with him
I won't sleep on him but Izzy will sleep him
@@dbow1337 I see this being similar to the reyes fight to be real, I see Jan utilizing his liver kicks and we haven't seen Izzy get pounded there by the likes of Jan. This is easily his hardest fight, Jan is strong and fast and durable. I see him putting Izzy to sleep in the third.
Now i am a fan of Jan Blachowicz after this interview. Plz bring more interviews of him
Wooow nice words :) im from Poland and for me - polish guy i’am really proud :)
such a nice and humble guy, really enjoy this interwiev
This man scares me, he won't even choose his opponents. They're like numbers. I just wish him to avenge his loss with Thiago
That'd be a good fight. Jan keeps surprising me. He's a beast.
@@rob5541 facts
Thiago will knock him out again
regardless he should fight the winner of Thiago vs Glover next (and/or Jon Jones) but they're going a different direction with things now. DC even said "it's not a good look for Izzy"
@@MrRobjs83 did he say that? I’m pretty sure he said Izzy is gonna win but Jan’s been surprising him.
I like how Jan is okay being a underdog and love to let his friends make more money out of it.
He's right too. My friend was down quite a bit and decided to put down $200 on Jan in his last fight. He got like 4.5 to 1 payout. Jan is definitely a boy.
I'm definitely going to place my first bet ever on him beating Izzy and make some money , no diss to Izzy but Jan is different
i had 50$ on round 3 against reyes, 22/1 odds. then he knocked him out in round 2 lol
@@d_vrdlovec8724 how is he different?
Ariel drilling Jan so much, I feel like he's tryna create some sort of enmity between then but I love how he's keeping his composure.
The business of journalists is to make news as interesting as possible, sometimes integrity gets lost in that. But there is a balance between making something interesting and trying to make something up just for news making sake.
Jan just brutally ko’d a 235 lb monster in reyes who just so happened to be a great striker. Israel looks like a little boy next to jan, hes in big trouble.
@Frosty i bet you didnt think jan would beat reyes, anderson or rockhold and what happened little man?
@@djt8870 I'd expected Jan to put Rockhold and Anderson away,both of them don't have a very good chin and have been koed cold multiple times. Jan couldn't put jacare away who actually has a good chin on him. Gonna be honest though,I didn't expect him to destroy Dominik Reyes. That performance really impressed me he completely dismantled Reyes.
@@djt8870 Izzy is a next level striker though,it's very hard to touch him. If Jan catches him with some good shots then he definitely can knock him out but people need to remember that the only time Adesanya has ever been knocked out was against Alex Pereira who has monstrous power and is as of now the best Middleweight Kickboxer in the world.
I’m a Adesanya fan and a kiwi, but man it’s hard not to love this guy so genuine honest dude ✊🏾✊🏾 looking forward to this fight
Guess what?
There is no need to hate your or your favourite's opponents.
That is just a wrong mentality people often get caught in, and unfortunately hype culture adds it up.
People start to look in things in black and white, mistaking nationalities, skin colors, teams, opinions, you name it for uniforms, and going TO WARS.
I don't like tv...ill watch the belt LMAO
How can you not like this guy?
Unless he's a serial killer or something.
That had me rolling
@@lorrie14uwavila0nx9 Ariel was soo offended by it.
lol that was awesome 😂
Jan is a good dude. God bless him and I wish him success.
“I will study his fights and find his weakness”
That eastern block mentality
Central European country, NOT eastern 🇵🇱
Take it easy boys ..
It's a compliment !!
@@matteomsp polish complexes about Eastern Europe are getting embarrassing
Poland was in the eastern block under communism
Communist countries in Europe of the 20th century are considered eastern Europe
@@xboxgamerhr good point. Was!
@@michagliniecki843 well no eastern European country is communist anymore so eastern Europe doesn't exist anymore?
I really like Jan, he has a great personality for a champion
This guy is humble funny 🤣
Best sentence ever
Foreal " i prefer books like you" hahah called ariel a nerd 😂
I feel like he’s got a very polish sense of humor. Lmk if I’m wrong 😂
Every time Ariel says Izzy's last name like that, his nose grows a mm longer
"I dont care"
If Jan was born in a diff era this guy would've been like a Gladiator. He's a modern day Gladiator/Viking etc.
Definitely not viking lmao, hes slavic ffs. Winged Hussar would be more accurate.
Or a giant polish meat butcher lol
Gaethje too
@Micky Banks Europe is not "one" "country". 😂😂😂
@@TheClinchMagazine thats literally what he said buddy
Stipe Miocic and Jan Blachowicz are 2 nicest ufc champions, hard not to love them 💪
Both Slavic. also Prochazka, also Fedor, also cro cop an u will see Gamrot soon. Slavic pow. Humble and proud. Always
undervalued, always dangerous.
Ariels green screen bookcase just 10-8'd jan
Its a virtual background? LOL
Hahhahahahhaa
Hahah seriously bro, I was looking for this comment. Ariel's face then was hilarious
is it a greenscreen tho?
🤣💀
"He's gonna remember me for the rest of his life"
That's a cold bold statement
Ariel: do you see holes in his games?
Jan:
Kevin Lee: I SEE HOLES I SEE HOLES, WIDE OPEN NOW
Everyone said Reyes was too fast for Jan he outclassed and KO him. Everyone said Rockhold would easily beat Jan and fight Jones, He got KO'd. Only santos KO'd Jan and Jan was winning that fight. Jan is so underated everyone sleeps on him.
Izzy is gonna destroyed this guy with ease
Who tf thought Luke was going to win that fight?
and thought Corey Anderson would beat him again too
@@WeHaveTheRansom Loads of people thought he was going to win. he was heavy favourite.
@Mike NO
i like this guy, hes humble
Maybe you'll become rich like him
@@GaryLegion not a chance man. i wish
Yeah the only thing I don't like is that he believes that Jones went up cause he is afraid of him...
@@arazose-faktenschockierend157 he says that for business lol, everyone wants a big money fight
Jan “we will see” Blachowicz
Legendary polish power
He doesnt care🤣🤣🤣
Jan is such a great guy, and such a humble champ! Keep it going, play it safe and you'll certainly come out with the win!
Impressive and relatively rare among fighters how he likes to read books...props to Jan.
Jan is a brilliant human being
I'm a big fan of Izzy but I wouldn't be mad if Blachowicz gives him his first loss
Bro, impossible 😂
I hope so
No way
Ditto
Not now... N jan can't defeat izzy never.
Cool humble dude love this champ ! Better then pictogram.......
lets goooo Polish Power 💪🇵🇱
How's Hingle these days? He good?
@@stevenyang08 We don't talk about him anymore; made it to the big leagues and completely forgot about us😡 who do you think taught him that 3-pump celebration? that was all me but now he thinks hes too good for us he's Hollywood Hingle now. 😤
Dont know much about Polish Power... but I do like a good polish hot dog...Pass the mustard please.
I am proud of our Jan🇵🇱 He is modest, humble, and at the same time confident and funny.
How can you not love him?!?! Him and Stipe are the most humble and down to earth Champions, Fedor was the same kind of guy. I guess it must be the east-european/russian mentality:)
If you want to be his girlfriend that can be arranged.
Slavs. They're a different breed.
I'd put Whitaker in the same basket as well :)
@@inohope yes 👍
He's so humble and terrifying at the same time lol. True confidence. Izzy's a tough fight for anyone at 185 or 205, but the way Jan put away Reyes was so impressive. Just methodically walked him down and put him away. 50/50 fight with maybe Izzy being a slight favorite....maybe.
Seeing a lot of interviews and post-fights makes Jan a very likable guy.
Dude is on a verge of getting fired, build a 8-1 record and has been bet as an underdog 7 times and become champ.
He's a good dude! Good personality
Every time Ariel says Izzy's last name like that, his nose grows a mm longer
I thought the same lmao
LMAOOO
man.... airel is the guy, in a friend circle that *makes others fight*
Jan and Robert refusing fights because of kids is nice.
Jan didn't refuse the fight he set a date to fight Izzy in March. However, Robert said he doesn't want to fight now but he didn't set a date on when he can fight him. That is the difference.
@@sabrimo4020 he said March as well.
@@sabrimo4020 Yes.. Jan refused to fightv Izzy in december -- He said it himself in this video
People sleep on Jan 👊
Of course he ktfo them to sleep

@@leebrandon3842 esactly bro look at usman not very good on the mic but a beast people don't understand
@@williamsmythe2168 yeah he is seriously underrated he fight tactfully but people think he's scared/boring....
@Jordan good fight, THE WORST buildup
🤣🤣🤣🤣
People sleep on him you see the fight against Jon and Reyes and look at the fight with Jan and Reyes and it shows how good Jan really is
Jan and Jon are two different fighters, you can’t make any comparisons and judgments based on that. Just because he beat Reyes, and (in my opinion) Reyes pretty much beat Jon, doesn’t mean that he automatically beats Jon.
@myles rucker Its the fight before the fight...When we're not eating babies, it's something to do.
@ImNotGanondorf Definitely, I DO think that a big reason Jon went up (other than being bored of the division), was because his past 3 fights were extremely close. I remember thinking that the Thiago fight would’ve definitely went the other way if Thiago didn’t get injured early in the fight. Fast forward to Reyes, i genuinely believe Reyes won that.
Thiago Santos vs Jan? Jan is easy fight for Adesanya
@Nonnis _ I truly believe this as well, if Jan touches his good, then that’s it, but Izzy doesn’t get touched.
Jan is so humble and so cool. Prefers books to TV. Love this guy! Hope he humbles Izzy.
I love Jan. I want to see this fight. He'll humble Adesanya.
Lmao yea rt kid keep dreaming
Please Dana make this happen!!!
Izzy and Jan!!!
Let’s go!!!
Big time now Jan!!!!!
He will go back to his category, really fast.
lol I love Jan he's one of my favorite champions right now, Izzy isnt going to be able to bulk up enough to save him
Broly got this 💪
😂 accurate asf
I feel like Izzy would be piccolo , Broly gonna smash him
He has a great attitude. He's a real champ!
The way Jan dismantled Rockhold was scary. Izzy gotta be careful.
I feel Rockhold would be tough for Izzy. And Jan smoked him with ease. Yea he definitely has to be careful. This is not an easy opponent.
Rockhold?? who cares? this guy made the athlete do the chicken dance Looool
@@donbon5563 he just shrugged off Rockhold. Jan is insanely string. People forget how good of a wrestler Rockhold is. Jan is entirely different from Caosta. Izzy has to play it perfect to win.
@@ChunkyPuffsRaichu I think Rockhold is tailored for Izzy. Leaves his chin up for a precision sniper.
@@rob5541 "People forget how good of a wrestler Rockhold is."
he isn't and has never been one though, the exact reason why his takedown accuracy is at 30%
“Did you finish the burger?” “Well done, well done...” lollll
I really like Jan. Hope he stays champ. Khabib is gone and we need more humble champs in the UFC.
Yes we don’t need pos champ like Izzy! Who disrespects everything and everyone!
What an improvement for LHW division Champ ! Great man !
I made some dam good money on Jan vs Dom.
Im going to do the same with this fight.
Betting on Jan is like betting on Stipe
Im not even done with this enterview and Mojahed already uploaded . Can't keep up😂😂😂
When Jan talks about the gold on his hamburger Ariel starts rubbing his chin 😂😂
Excellent champion Jan and a real stand up guy! He deserves it I hope the success continues.
Every media outlet has already counted Blachowicz out, just watch him starch Adesanya with that Polish Power!
i want to see how Izzy deals with Jan's strength and size. Izzy will most likely out strike him but the rubber meets the road when Jan lands a couple body kicks. which i feel he will. i never seen such a destructive demolition of a fighter then when Jan crushed Reyes. the mark on Reyes's side was when the fat is crushed against the ribs and splits. i never seen that happen before. Reyes nose was almost wiped off his face. this is what i want to see when these two fight. will Izzy take these type of strikes and keep coming. what i dont want to see is 2 counter strikers hesitate to throw. which both of them are.
jan reyes is a football player meanwhile izzy beats up light heavyweights in kickboxing matches..
@burning the candle at both ends
Those bums who Israel beat in kickboxing where nobodies. When he went to glory he started losing and then came to MMA
That's not how a bruise is caused.
@@jackforpresident22
I’ve watched all his glory fights therefore i doubt you watched even one
people that think like you only see the offensive side to izzy's game and dont reealize how quick he is and how he's good at avoiding. people call it running but he has ways to avoid damage
I like this Guy!!! This is one of the Best interviews I’ve seen in a long while 👏 Classy guys eat Burgers made of Gold 😎
What a great champion, go humble em Jan!
So UFC was planning this since Jan's last victory, and then Dana says since Whitaker didn't want to fight they decided to organise this fight.
Dana White Lied?! Never thought I'd see the day....
They likely make multiple plans and lay groundwork in a lot of different directions before actually then deciding on the best way to go. Also doing this gives them the flexibility to change plans according to circumstances as and when they arise or change. Makes sense.
Rob won unimpressively and wasn't campaigning hard for izzy rematch
It’s actually funny because I guarantee jan wasn’t supposed to say that😂
@@paddyotoole2058 makes sense but you can also be honest and say that and not twist it around, it is not fair to the other fighters in this case Whitaker
I will keep my fingers for him.
I love yan man I hope he wins sorry I like Izzy he’s in my top 3 favorite fighters but yan is so humble and I wish the guy well for his family
And he’s always the underdog no one thought he was going to win against dom except me over here he’s got sleepers in his hands for real he awkward and makes people second guess his feints and then blast a people out in to orbit the dude is very under rated
I cant believe I'm saying this, but I will totally put 50 bucks on Jan.
Hes smart enough to pressure hard(unlike costa did) but not rush in(like what Whittaker did).
I think he has a real chance after his last performance. Plus it would be so awesome for a fellow viking to win that fight! If not gustafson then Jan will do just fine for me.
Well they’re both counter strikers so it’ll be interesting
I never gamble but he's got me thinking...
Yan is Slavic, not Viking.
Vikings raided Jan's ancestors villages and pliaged their lands lmfao
@@crimsonking4151 lmao
YOU GUYS KEEP SLEEPING ON JAN!!! ROCKHOLD LOOKED PAST JAN FOR JON! COREY LOOKED PAST JAN FOR JON! REYES LOOKED PAST JAN FOR JON! IZZY IS JUST GOING TO BE A PAWN IN THIS GAME OF CHESS! JAN WILL BE THE FIRST TO FINISH JON JONES AND WILL GO DOWN AS THE GREATEST LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT OF ALL TIME, MARK MY WORDS!!!
I like how all the Izzy fanbois are counting Jan out. We will see.....
@Demark Cleaning No hating here just pointing out the obvious. This isnt a bunch of fat 10 year olds arguing over Fortnight. Its entirely possible to discuss things in MMA without being a "hater". Izzy is great, but all it takes is the right person to crack that chin and hes out. Izzys been KO'd before. Izzy has also dominated guys and has also looked terrible in victory as well. Look at the Gastelum fight, if he puts on a performance like that against Jan, its lights out.
@@JangoMike I completely agree with you
@@JangoMike Izzy didn’t look bad vs Gastelum. He actually looked very good. He knocked him down 4 times
@@noelnoni7310 i didnt say his Gastelum fight was terrible, i just pointed out if he fights like that against Jan at LHW whose got immensley better hands and KO power than Gastelum for 5 rounds....hes got a very good chance at getting put out.
@@JangoMike I understand styles make fights but don't use mma math by bringing up the Gastelum fight cause Israel is leaps and bounds better now than he was back then. Also, Rob Whittaker and Costa both saw what Kelvin did and tried to work a game plan based on that fight and they got dismantled cause Izzy had a plan for that style now
Jan will answer Izzys leg kicks with body kicks. Adesanya crumbles first
Jan has a top flight mentality....real winners mindset....confident and focused
Izzy “last stylebender” v Jan “Polish power “ . 🤩🥳🧐
I believe him, he is the brother of the UFC heavyweight champion. It runs in their family. Heart of a champion!
It's a joke😂😂
I guess he's saying because Stipe and him look alike lmao
@@thiccortreat4457 but now you do because someone other than him said it's a joke?
yeah they both Slavic
Virtually identical
I love how he puts “the” in front of like everything he says. “I was going to take down the dominick” lmaoo
So good - war the Eastern bloc!
Honest nd to the point, great guy
He reminds me of Marvel Comics character Sabretooth.
Jan “Sabretooth” Blachowicz. 🦁🦁🦁
I’m excited to see Izzy versus someone who isn’t noticeably smaller- Izzy only has a two inch reach advantage, Jan won’t have to close the distance.
Go Jan!
And neither will Izzy and if Yan stands with Izzy he will get totally destroyed inside 2 rounds and I don't think he can really handle Adesanya anywhere the fight goes honestly
Izzy already foght Romero and Paulo Costa, in his earlier days he also fought big guys in kickboxing, a bunch of them. Israel in lhw still doesnt look fatty, he looks very lean in lhw.
@@vanslededesign3386 those guys arent as big as Jan.
@@anthonyemerick4220 he can grapple and submit him
Jan was fighting with heavyweights in the past
Jan seemed kinda bland when i first heard of him but hes grown on me listening to his interviews as champ. Solid dude with some funny quirks/comments.
I admire this guy! Polish powerhouse! Much respect from Kazakhstan
If Jan KO's Adesanya after finishing Dom he sky rockets to my favorite fighter.
📈📈📈
Jan’s ground game is very underrated.
Dammm he’ll go back to his category real fast. nothing but facts
That face when he asked "did you finish it?" lol @14:55
Nothing more dangerous than ufc fighters with a baby on the way. Can’t imagine the motivation they feel from that have wanting to supply for their new child
I cannot wait for this
Its crazy that the Jones fight was so close and the Jan goes and does that to Dominick...
Haha I just watched Borat 2 and Jan saying "This would be NICE" at 4:12 killed me 😆
Jan's physical size and Jiu Jitsu black belt can be an X factor. Closing the distance is another question but It's a great fight!
Jan: I like to watch belt instead of tv.
Sound like something Tony Ferguson might do.
You guys should leave Tony alone😂😂
I was counting out this gut the moment they announced a fight with Dominick and he just made him chicken dance. I’m going with Polish power on this one)
"Btw I was talking to your friend Daniel...." LOL!
A real humble family man that doesn't care about others and what people think. How can you not like this guy. This man hit's like a hurricane and a few shots Izzy will wish he never jumped that far up the line.
Ariel trying to start beef with some of these questions 🤣😂 you going back to your old ways. Nick Diaz to ariel in interview "where I'm from, if you talk like that. You'll get slapped!!"🤣😂😂
Lol for real I just noticed that
😂😂miss the Diaz brothers “everybody’s on steroids “
Jan is going to light up izzy.
Gotta love Jan 😊
Great mentality 👍🏼
I like this guy. Jan is a insightful person with a great perspective on his lifes direction
Never underestimate the 🇵🇱 power gonna be a great match up
