    Poatan is starting to emerge as a counter puncher. It helps if the other guy is the aggressor, or the fight gets past the first round. The counter puncher who waits... tedious but effective. Getting to be a hard mountain to climb. Just wait. Then backed up with beautiful technique and power.

    • @eoghain5021

      I’m not really sure about that. He pressed Jamahal against the cage and just slept him. He pressed Izzy up against the cage in the first UFC fight and got the finish. He did the same in the second and was aggressing and chasing a finish until he himself got countered. Against Strickland, Sean didn’t even throw enough for Alex to counter anything. Alex set him up with jabs to the body. I don’t really remember the Jan fight, but it seems that Jiri was the only guy where he was a counter striker, and that’s because Jiri is a madman who pushed forward the whole time. He may be a counter puncher, but no one aggresses him enough for him to counter. He ends up stalking people most of the time and setting things up himself imo

      @@eoghain5021 "Becoming" a counter puncher. You've ignored why I'm saying it, which means I'll repeat it. Guys are determined to be the aggressor against him, wanting to push him back, Adesanya of course, who has had the most success to date, didn't bother, Alex was the aggressor, in both of their fights, but he was wide open for the counter in both fights.
      The Jan fight... Alex scraped through. 3rd round, when Jan knew he had the 1st, lost the second, had to up his aggression, walked Alex back with some success. He was so gassed, though, whether he had more and would have ended up flatlined with more aggression... he ate Alex's shots and wasn't wobbled once - cheekbone versus chin, we don't know. Elevation should never play a part in title contention fights. And they should be five rounds.
      Jamahal appeared to want to be the aggressor, too. Fight over before anyone can know for sure what strategy he intended to use, good or bad. Or was going backward what Jamahal was going to intend? Adesanya had been chatting with him.
      Bruno Silva got aggressive, walking forward Alex for the most part, and got a tonne of good shots on him, was always dangerous, would walk him back with those shots... Alex would get out of trouble as the counter puncher... more or less. It was a messy fight.
      My point was that is where Alex is ending up... whether by choice? Or guys won't stop deciding the best way to beat him is to walk him back. Strickland was the fight that showed, no... he's just as dangerous going backwards.
      When someone is being the aggressor, he is passive. He becomes the counter puncher.
      I don't like it because it's boring, so I'm hoping he doesn't become the conservative champion who doesn't want to risk anything anymore. It's effective but not interesting.
