Discussing Jared Cannonier's performance at UFC 271, Teddy Atlas said:
"Cannonier again showed tremendous finishing abilities and he got [Brunson] out of there. He earned the shot... as he said himself. He represents himself very well speaking 'Hey, give me Izzy next.'

Jared Cannonier breaks down how he will beat Israel Adesanya
During his recent appearance on The MMA Hour, Jared Cannonier claimed that a match with Adesanya would be a good opportunity for him to showcase his striking abilities.
Cannonier insists he will not take a one-dimensional approach to a potential fight with 'The Last Stylebender'. He intends to give the middleweight champion a hard time with his wrestling as well as striking skills:
"This would be a good opportunity to showcase my true skills as a striker... Izzy [Israel Adesanya] being the caliber fighter he is, the type of fighter and the striker that he is, I feel is going to bring out a better version of my striking as well. But not only that, I have to be good everywhere. I mean I'm going to give him looks everywhere... I'm good everywhere so wherever the fight goes, I know one thing, if he ends up on the bottom it may not last too long."
