Pereira let Strickland get comfortable making the same mistake over and over which was reaching to defend the jab to the body. As soon as he knew Strickland was comfortable he turned the body jab into a left hook. Game over. Striking 101.

Absolute masterclass. Made the read on Seans first parry, who likes to grab his opponent jab instead of blocking. Jabbed him 3-4 times to the chest, feinted it and came around the grabbing hand and landed picture perfect on the top of the chin. Beautiful violence
@@johnnymokumba9620 I'm not saying that it's great form I'm just saying that Pereira (unlike most of Sean's previous opponents) made the necessary read and capitalized on it perfectly
Pereira just toyed with Strickland the same way Izzy does, deliberately throwing some softer shots to lull him in to a false sense of security. But unlike Izzy, he actually used it to set-up a powerful shot and shut Strickland's lights out with the his signature hook.
izzy would have done the same thing to Sean, look what he did to Costa, He does the same things over and over when Alex jabs, he leans back and tries to parry, the difference is izzy would have set up something similar
@@Kronic420 what if Izzy might finally be able to show off his ground game, and also izzy's stand up has always been better than Alex and he also has significantly improved. His movement, discipline, distance control and striking is levels ahead of Alex, we will see soon
Looool. Seans gonna have to wear this one. He talked soooo much shit to izzy at the press conference. I remember thinking how dumb he would look if alex slept him lol
Not many people are mentioning that he was trying to check a leg kick when the left hook was thrown. His feet weren't even in position to move even if he saw it.
Since everyone is talking about that Left Hook let me tell you that the punch that follows it is SO precise, dam. He throws it to where Sean is going, he aims up, throws it and Sean just meets his hand! INSANE!
The follow up is some kill mode anime level shit lmao, serious accuracy against a guy who stood up halfway thru his collapse. Alex still landed perfectly
Makes it even better when you listen to him and Glover talk after the fight. If you notice, Alex starts punching Sean in the chest. He did that to cause Sean to lower his hands to set up the left hook. Dude is a beast.
Fun fact about Alex Pereira: Alex beat Izzy for the first time by decision in his sixth fight ever in his professional kickboxing career and he was coming off two defeats, Adesanya already had 17+ fights not counting his boxing and muay thai fights, coincidentally that number is close to the number of fights that Alex has in MMA today.
I would love to izzy utilize some trips in their fight and try to catch him in a submission. Why stand and trade with a dude this dangerous? Even if you’re izzy, its risky. I think pride will be izzys downfall in this fight
That first fight coulda easily went to izzy. I suggest people watch the first one and see how close it really was. This is going to be a great fight in mma
@@nothanks2943 Alex won The first 2 rounds, he won most of The exchanges + strong leg kicks, Israel is doing some flashy pretty looking shit while he's backing up and getting outboxed
Pereira has been one of my favorite fighters since he joined glory. Love to see that he's doing well in the UFC and can't wait to see how far he can go.
Jab to the body so many times that when he faints it, Strickland tries to block it leaving his jaw wide open for the left hook. Simple technique drilled into oblivion...perfect execution.
Sean actually DID see it coming technically, he literally said he knows that is how he sets up his power left hooks before the fight happened, and that his ego got the best of him making him think he could take Pereira in stand up. That is why Pereira is so good, everyone knows that is what he is setting up to do, but unless you're on his level, you can't really stop it. Hes been knocking people out like this in KB for years, EVERYONE knows its coming.
What's also impressive about Pereira other than his power, is his accuracy. The shot that dropped Strickland was right on the button, then the followup with Strickland moving back and getting to his feet was still precisely on target.
I feel like Izzy and Alex are way more closely matched than people realize but the power difference is a lot I mean Izzy has power to a degree when he swings with full speed but Alex has the touch of death and Izzy has to be a lot more technical to make up for the power, I donno if its the level of competition but Alex a lot of times seems to be better at programming his opponents and setting a trap for a power shot while Izzy just neutralizes them, Izzy obviously knows how to set up power shots(like how he programmed Costa to be worried about the left jab and downloaded the data that Costa moves his head and brings his hands up and used that to feint a Jab right in to a head kick) but in the last 2 or 3 fights he hasn't been able to do that.
I think none of them will brawl, but I see Alex trying to be more aggressive because he doesn’t have anything to lose, given that he just arrived at UFC. If he loses it won’t be near as bad as if Izzy loses. I see a more aggressive Pereira.
If I were forced to predict their MMA fight, I'd imagine it will go much like their 2nd kickboxing fight. Israel will not be able to circle>jab>leg kick>rotate 30 degrees and repeat like he has done against Romero and Cannonier. Alex will give chase and land the harder shots. He also won't be able to approach it by "technical brawling" like he did with Whitaker and Costa because Alex is the better brawler. Israel HAS TO make this an MMA fight and not a kickboxing match in 4 oz gloves and hope the gap in the clinch, wrestling, control, and submissions is still wide enough for him to capitalize on.
Dammmm alex conditioned sean whenever he throws that left hook, it is to the body. Once he elevated that hook to the head, you clearly see sean expecting it to the body, but landed straight to his chin. High level striking
If a striker is seemingly concentrating on a part of the body you are blocking it too loose. Strickland was parrying multiple body shots and left the head open. Like Strickland said in interview, He felt he was able to keep up. Great high class strategy from Perreira.
that left hook still give Izzy the decision seeker nails painter Gynosanya nightmare every night.Dude is shitting his jocks right now cause he knows his decision seeking reign is coming to an end.
Everyone likes talking about the set up and conditioning of the left jab & straight into the left hook up top. Yet I'm over here being amazed at the accuracy and precision of the right straight he pin pointed on Strickland's jaw as he was falling. That is next level deadly in the striking game.
Bro, Sean knew the man's most deadly, well known strike and he held his right hand down the whole time. I know Alex was piercing that solarplex but damn it dude.
Notice how Pereira throws the left hook as Sean Strickland lifts his leg up and goes to take a step? It's basically impossible to move out of the way or have decent head movement when taking a step and you're on one leg. This was a beautiful read by Pereira, as Strickland was doing this to block the leg kicks.
@@TheYolo20 That doesn't change anything I've said. Maybe watch the full fight instead of just parroting the result. Israel was winning and controlling that fight. He also rocked/dropped Pereira and the referee gave him a standing eight count which allowed him to recover. By your logic, Leon Edwards "dominated" Kamaru Usman in their second fight because he knocked him out, despite the former getting beaten up for the majority of the fight.
Idk why Sean was setting himself up for a KO, moving slowly in a circle at a steady pace with an open stance. Maybe it’s fine with sparing partners but this guy Alex looks solid
😂 I honestly just came here to get some sense of poetic justice over the sneako beat down, although sneako looked for it, seeing Sean get manhandled by another pro, worst than he did to sneako which is not a pro, restores my poetic justice faith
Just did that today in sparring, and it worked like a charm. Pumped out jabs, progressively aiming lower and when my partner started to parry low, feint jab hook landed perfectly. I didn't KO my partner, as it was just sparring, obviously, but it was a nice feeling to basically get a clean free shot directly on the jaw.
@@dammaguy1286 Sure, I don't have Pereira power, not even close, but I also didn't fight an elite UFC Top10 fighter with a known durable chin. I'm pretty positive that a random amateur like my training partner would have taken significant damage and probably got KOed had I thrown that hook with ill intention. Thanks to Pereira's set-up I imitated there, that chin was presented on a silver plate and the hook landed as clean as it can get.
The guy didn't even have a bend to his knees, I bet he took a few shots or had some beer before coming into he cage, because his head wasn't there until Periera reminded him he had one
Strickland is just walking in with his head straight up against one of the most powerful strikers in the world! I must also add that his trash talking with Adesanya at the press conference made his KO so much more embarassing than it already is.
Sean Strickland couldn't have looked worse in that fight. What a way to hype everyone up especially at the press conference and displaying absolute worse showing of a fighter. What a waste literally!!
I mean, what did you expect? Strickland, while tough and crafty, is not even in the same universe as a striker. Plus his makeshift Philly shell and squared stance is probably one of the worst "builds" you can have against a world champion kickboxer.
@@leop849 if you watch it at .25 speed you can clearly see that it was a hook from the beginning, but you’ll also see Sean drop his hand to defend what he thought was going to be a body shot. Leaving his head exposed for the KO. I would say your right about it not level changing from the release of the punch though 👍
Was a ridiculous gameplan to fight Alex with this style. Made me think he was paid to lose. He was fighting like it was a glorified spar. Alex had no respect for his stand up.
I don't know why people says he is one of the best kickboxers ever. He is good, hes got a quite a few losses in kickboxing as well tho. He got famous because of Izzy success for the moment.
@@deivigarciape Exactly. Izzy's haters will make up anything to hype up a new contender xD Even if you look at their record, Izzy has a far more impressive kickboxing record than Alex but whatever. Let Adesanya prove them wrong for the 6th time in a row, maybe then they'll finally understand the message

I mean, what did you expect? Strickland, while tough and crafty, is not even in the same universe as a striker. Plus his makeshift Philly shell and squared stance is probably one of the worst "builds" you can have against a world champion kickboxer.
That setup was beautiful! Made Sean Strickland think he was coming for the body again but quickly leveled changed and hooked him right on the chin.
Not really. Straight from the begining was the same variation, body shot then to the head. He just hit that last one harder and from a diff angle
@@leop849 if you watch it at .25 speed you can clearly see that it was a hook from the beginning, but you’ll also see Sean drop his hand to defend what he thought was going to be a body shot. Leaving his head exposed for the KO. I would say your right about it not level changing from the release of the punch though 👍
Sean showed up to bang and lost to one of the best kickboxers ever Respect 🔥🔥
No he came up to stand like a fool and touch a lil
He got clapped
Was a ridiculous gameplan to fight Alex with this style. Made me think he was paid to lose. He was fighting like it was a glorified spar. Alex had no respect for his stand up.
I don't know why people says he is one of the best kickboxers ever. He is good, hes got a quite a few losses in kickboxing as well tho. He got famous because of Izzy success for the moment.
@@deivigarciape Exactly. Izzy's haters will make up anything to hype up a new contender xD Even if you look at their record, Izzy has a far more impressive kickboxing record than Alex but whatever. Let Adesanya prove them wrong for the 6th time in a row, maybe then they'll finally understand the message
@@deivigarciape bruh he literally takes souls lol what are you talking about he also has many wins over many respected kickboxers if you want him to be perfect and undefeated well that's something else
