His resume will be insane, but also still lacking. UFC Hall of Fame would be likely. But combat sports GOAT kind of talk, he's gotta 1) defend a belt in UFC, and 2) defeat some legitimate grapplers. Right now there is too strong an argument against him with how he hasn't had to fight a real grappler like a Vettori or even a Brunson. And he's gotta defend a belt. Right now he's 0-1 in defenses
@@user-mn9wc5ru5whe legit just has to beat Jiri, and Jamahal(rough fight) and then move up to HW. And imo as a HW/LHW he’s got it. Maybe not as sure shot as MW and LHW. But he’s got it for sure. His grappling will only get better as time goes and he can 100% use it in HW to win.
@@user-mn9wc5ru5w I mean being a champ in the biggest org of 2 different combat sports is combat sports greatest worthy. He’s up there with guys like Cejudo, Holly holm etc.
@@lunarmizt388guy is big, but he's not even fighting at the light heavyweight limit. Another 60lbs changes the game significantly. It truly would be amazing if Alex could get a win at heavyweight
In my opinion I love how pereira's ufc story was more or less a villain in izzy's story for middleweight greatest but now after knowing pereira's story you realized he's as big as hero or more then izzy
@@friedrichmayrand8155 I mean to some people at the start of his mma career they say him as a theart to izzy title regin but seeing pereira's story I think more people start to root for him that said I myself love knockout artists so I immediately be came a pereira fan
@@beaulavin8455yup. For sure. I was one of them. I recently got into the sport and felt really bad for Izzy, until I learned about Alex's life and looked deeper into their history. Now I absolute love Alex
If a person ever regrets saying something it has to be Izzy saying that about Alex sitting in some bar. He accomplished more than Izzy in kickboxing and mma. Came and took his belt, moved up and took the belt he couldn't. Beat two guys that beat Izzy. Izzy is having nightmares about that comment he made. Thanks Izzy, because if he would have just been respectful to the guy that already beat him twice we probably wouldn't get to witness how great this man is.
Poatan to Izzy is the epitome of “Anything you can do, I can do better” 😂😂 Izzy tried to beat Jan and couldn’t, Poatan did. Izzy tried to beat Strickland and couldn’t. Poatan did. Izzy tried for 2 titles and couldn’t do it, Poatan did. 😂😂
Poatan is the epitome of zero title defenses, that's one thing Izzy did better. And don't forget Alex is damn near a heavyweight, stop meat riding and accept of course it'll be easier to be champ in lhw. Izzy could barely make 205 cause he's a true middleweight. Little casual mma fan haha
The best part of his story is beating strickland, training with him and strickland beating Izzy hahahahah. Such a great story, weaponize your enemies to beat other enemies.
Izzy was an active fighter and will go down as one of the greatest MW of all time behind Anderson Silva and the guy fought everybody wasnt always entertaining but he has put on bangers and defended his belt for years the man deserves respect and without Izzy Alex would rule the MW division
Thank you izzy for being a superstar defending that belt 5 times second to the mw goat Silva and bringing Alex from the pub to becoming a mega star in mma. Both amazing athletes 🔥🔥
@@oxsila Not really He gave Izzy a lot of respect and on his second channel which is more like a podcast type of thing he even stated that he is a fan of Israel Adesanya
@@houndinReddude stop, this izzy hate is getting sad, i dont care about personalities but hes a great fighter and defended only less than silva and literally fought everyone
Incrivel documentário, ainda mais sabendo de toda a história por trás, a vitória contra a pobreza e contra o vício no alcóol, de um jovem de 12 anos que foi forçado a trabalhar para ajudar a familia, para o maior kickboxer de todos os tempos e campeão do UFC. Lenda.
He runs around with like 230 - 240 On fight night, Heavyweights are like 270 - 280 I like Alex but that's too much Aspinall or Jones would ragdoll him Guys like Gane or Pavlovic too Just way too masive
Why do yall say this like Alex really held the belt he won it and lost it still has no defences lol I don't understand how you can say that he's the one guy that can hold the belt when he hasn't proved that
People use the term "one-dimensional" as if it's a bad thing. It's not, it's what makes you better than anyone else at your specific strength, and is basically a prerequisite for winning in a solo sport. It's called min-maxing
People just have an innate worry about the threat of the takedown. It’s just history affecting a lot of peoples perception of kickboxing and boxing transitions, with the exception of Adesanya
Sou brasileiro e tenho muito orgulho dele! Ele e monstro mas varios de nos trabalhamos, estudamos etc... mas nosso pais nao valoriza isso nem nada que façamos! Infelizmente! 👊🏼🥊
It’s crazy how a year ago when Izzy was talking all that smack I was like “talk your smack champ” but now that he lost to the guy by knock out and got dominated by Sean all I want him to do is shut the **** up
Pereira in english means Pear tree. Pereira is the name of one of the most important families in the history of Portugal. The Pereiras coat of arms are a silver cross on a red background.
Without romanticizing or any other bullshit, but he is one of those new human beings born of European and Amerindian marriages that Saint Hilaire talked about on his books trips to Brazil, a classic Brazilian mestizo. The type who carried Brazil on his back during the Paraguayan war directly to crushing victory, there is no doubt why men like him were the most decorated in the Brazilian Army during the 19th century, as General Couto Magalhães said in his books. A true specimen. I have two uncles identicals to this MF, even in the height. Bizarre.
Lesnar and Periera had different paths although similar... At middleweight Adesanya like him or not had started to lap the division and gave Periera the quick path to the belt had Adesanya not being champ Periera's story could of being different he could of ended up having to fight the likes of whitaker and other top contenders which he no doubt can beat but his fast track was justified because of his history with Adesanya.. and although Adesanya won the battle Periera clearly won the war. He could go down as one of the greatest combat athletes of all time his kickboxing Achievements are amazing. Arguably more impressive than most of the double champ accomplishments by other Ufc fighters. A truly incredible fighter with an incredible story big respect to Periera.
Pereira is simply the greatest striker in the history of combat sports!!! Double Glory champion, Double UFC champion. Look up the list of men he knocked out, unbelievable.
If he becomes a two division champ, he’s a straight lock for UFC’s Hof. And would easily have one of the greatest combat sports career of all time
Fk the ufc.

Yessss
I mean he just got knocked out so not a good time for that
Jan didn't test his striking he went straight to wrestling then gassed. Such a let down. Glad the judges called it right.

This the best quality mma videos out there
Bro Definitely deserves it! Dude is a legend an its gonna be left too the MMA community to decide to give him his flowers
This beautiful video ages like fine wine!🍷Cheers to Alex! And to you for creating it!
Who's here after Alex now even 2 Division champ in UFC ?
I’ve watched a lot of Poatan documentaries/timelines but this one is the best 🔥
Brother... This may be your best work ever. Really!
Issy was talking about himself when he said alex gona be in pub somewhere....
Been watching since the worst at every fighting style video so crazy how big this channel has gotten and how much better the vids are
That is such good writing
"A sacrificial lamb, and a veteran"
Chills every damn video I swear
Funny how in reality, its Adesanya who is gonna be at some pub talking bout "i beat that guy one time"😂😂😂
alex probably the one guy that could actually hold belts in mw, lhw and even move to hw. Hes so fucking massive
He runs around with like 230 - 240
On fight night, Heavyweights are like 270 - 280
I like Alex but that's too much
Aspinall or Jones would ragdoll him
Guys like Gane or Pavlovic too
Just way too masive
@@RealMrSmile Alex walks around at like 250, when he cut to make 185 he was usually around 230 during the fight.
Alex would fit perfectly into HW.
Why do yall say this like Alex really held the belt he won it and lost it still has no defences lol I don't understand how you can say that he's the one guy that can hold the belt when he hasn't proved that
Your episodes are fucking gold. I’m fan of Alex and I think he can do it. Be champ of two divisions only in one year.
Aged like fine wine.
Soon to be ufc two division champion 🏆 Chama ❤ 💯 🏆
You think Stephen Thompson is a better striker than Poatan, gtfoh.
Man will be champion tomorrow
unfortunate he went to the ufc so late in his career but im glad we got to witness greatness even if it was just for a short time :')
You should do a before and after fighting Edson Barboza
Alex is like a shadow looming over the divisions he resides in
after fighting Khalil, his story is legendary.
Point blank if you put Izzy in the HOF you gotta put Alex. Straight up
Shout out to the Puppy!

Keep up the work bro!
Lets fucking go man! Hyped!
Dude this is just brilliant. Just keep doing it. Greetings from Brazil
Awsm awsm video man pure hard work. You are going to be big very big. ❤❤❤
Fighter of the year..
"hey adesanya, come to Daddy" 🗿🇧🇷
and he did just that!!!he became double champ in under 10 fights!!!that's nuts
I’m so excited for this upcoming fight card
this the best video that I have seen from this channel
these vids never disappoint
Amazing documentary!! Well done! You did a very good job
0:37 it's so funny because that is Izzy right how. Poatan has achieved greatness and Izzy is living off of his 1 (out of 4) win.
Wow that was fire dude. 🔥
6 fights and already going for 205lb double champ
Bro you killed it with the editing in this video 📹 🔥
Awesome production!!! Congrats
We need a part 2 for this!
Should have waited a little bit for Alex because I guess a lot of Great fights are still on the way for him.
Anyways, a video from TFB nonetheless ❤
TFB will make another one forsure 😈
Great video man
Pereira is a beast, and big scary dude , his left hand from another world
Thats an EPIC thumbnail 👏👏👏👏, you could one with center alex and his career at the back.
So glad he’s been able to train with a legend like Glover
Man. U r so good at this. Keep doing it

Today every mma channel is super biased, but this one is different
This has to be bait. This channel couldn't be more anti Izzy if it tried lmao
The look Alex gave Jiri after he bested Glover... He's ready to kill.
I feel kind of bad for the two two especially the greek guy. You can tell somebody what they're walking into but im sure they thought it was a game.
Wish this would’ve been made after the Jiri fight
Alex is a monster a stone cold killer inside the cage man is there to take your soul
This is such a good analysis
