Thiago Marreta, UFC light heavyweight:

“My fans are for Blachowicz, without a doubt. I think all the light heavyweights are rooting for him. But if I had to bet, I would go with Adesanya. His game is a little complicated. He will use his movement, attack, abuse his speed. Jan is a little more static, he plays more still. So, against a faster guy, who moves and has a bigger wingspan, it's a disadvantage”, said the carioca, who faces Aleksandar rakic in the same event.

John Allan, UFC light heavyweight:

“They are guys from different categories, Adesanya will step up for the first time and it will be a very interesting fight to watch. There are two different styles, Adesanya is very technical, controls distance well and has power in his strikes. Blachowicz is already looking for the fight more, he has a heavy hand. It's a tough fight to bet on, as it could go to anyone. But I think Blachowicz's heavy hand and strength will make the difference in the fight and he will come out with the victory”, analyzed John.

Cláudio Hannibal, Ultimate welterweight:

“I think the Polish player is going to win this fight, especially given the great moment he's been going through. Blachowicz is very strong. I think he is much more complete than Israel. If he needs to take a takedown, he will. He has a good level on the ground and, for those who don't know, he has finished most of his fights. But the guy has a solid hand and I think he wins Israel adesanya by knockout”, said Hannibal.

Conan Silveira, coach of American Top Team (ATT):

“It’s a complicated fight. I hope Blachowicz studied (for combat). I think my answer is based on study, not technical ability or physical conditions. Adesanya is a complicated fighter. There are things that favor Blachowicz, like space. It's a small cage, there's not much for him to move around. Adesanya needs to have a cage with more space, as it is long. This is a point that favors Blachowicz. However, I think I would use the same answer: whoever makes the least mistakes wins the fight.
