Gutted for Aljo but legit happy for him getting the belt. It was a shitty mistake, honestly don’t believe Yan meant to cheat but you can’t let that slide. Hope he heals up, can’t wait for the rematch. #UFC259

Jan must be in one of those weird nut shot cults because that was hard and he didn’t seem fazed. #UFC259

Congrats to @JanBlachowicz and hats off to @stylebender for attempting what a few have ever done. It’s all about taking chances in this life! Thank you gentlemen!

I feel like Izzy could have done more was abit to slow pace but respect him for stepping up
— Michael Venom Page (@Michaelpage247) March 7, 2021

Izzy is still the winner in my eyes ♂️.
Well done Champ that was a great performance and tell you what, not many people would’ve taken this fight.#WakandaForever #UFC259— Francis Ngannou (@francis_ngannou) March 7, 2021
And still. Congrats @JanBlachowicz #UFC #UFC259

Just think Izzy was leaning back to much he’s not used to fighting bigger guys he was getting caught a lot leaning

Great performance from @JanBlachowicz massive respect for that win #UFC259
— JIMI MANUWA (@POSTERBOYJM) March 7, 2021
Commenting for that main event was horrible. Literally if you listened and didn’t watch. You would think Izzy was absolutely out classing Yan. Was extremely one sided
— Anthony Rocco Martin (@TonyRoccoMartin) March 7, 2021
Great fight to both guys. Izzy had great feints and leg kicks but blachowicz won by landing bigger shots on feet, takedowns and GNP. #ufc259
