@davidscholesphotographer I agree, Tom aspinall is the more entertaining fighter IMO. Alex fights more slow paced even though it usually ends in 2 rounds. Tom is quick in every way, his pace is fast and constant. Tom's fights is like beauty to the eyes.
Pereira has the coldest thousand yard stare in the UFC... And funnily enough 1000 yards is about as close as Jon Jones will ever get to fighting him. Dana's p4p 'No1' is busy making easy money and scouting for retirement homes
@@chrismcgeehan7150 Yeah they are, thus why is Jones looking to fight retired Stipe while Alex is beating the entire UFC roster? Are you aware that Stipe's last fight was prior to Pereira joining the UFC?
@MartialArtsNk I am aware of all of that I'm also aware that Jones takes down Alex and keeps him there Jones would take the Alex fight over the Aspall fight every day of the week
@@chrismcgeehan7150 That's pure delusion. Jones ain't doing that. He couldn't hold and keep Reyes down, and people think he magically does it to Alex, cause he took a HW bum down...
@MartialArtsNk reyes had much more of a wrestling background than Alex that's a fact also Jones has said himself he wants to fight Alex he wants no part of aspanall
And Alex Pereira was showing off his foot after the fight. Hilarious. He has some of the driest humour ever. Don't know how he keeps a straight face saying or doing some of the hilarious stuff he does.
Why do you think that though? It's low risk high reward. Anyone has a chance of beating anyone in the UFC but why would he specifically avoid Alex? You do know Jon's resume right? I think Jon WILL fight him because that means taking down the (current) boogeyman of the UFC and that's a hell of a thing for a person's legacy. All you gotta do is look at Alex's shoulders and see that he's not built for heavyweight.
@@Jasalexander-vv2uw do you not just realise you called JBJ a cherry-picker 😂? You literally just said Alex is "not built for heavyweight" and that's why Jones would fight him. So you're saying Jones would fight a smaller guy instead of fighting a Natural heavyweight like Aspinal 😂. That also means you are also saying he is ducking 😂, which proves the guy right, even if he is not necessarily ducking Poatan. You were trying to complement Jon, but ended up insulting him.
What I like the most about Pereira is that he's just cool, respectful with all his opponents, even though some are stupid like Adesanya and Hill. He understands that he doesn't need to say out loud that he's the best, he lets people watch him and say it, not him, ever.
Alex Poatan Pereira is the most exciting fighter in activity in UFC. Jones is great, but he didnt destroed his opponents like Alex is doing. The guy is insane.
I've been watching UFC for the last 5 years and seen jones fight once ...... the new generation of fans don't care about him it's like hearing about how hard someone's grandad was
@@danz3445I'm not a Jon Jones fan, but he ain't boring. He probably is the goat (performance wise and record wise), but he's been done for PEDs more than once, so I don't think he should be this hyped
Jones has been caught using PEDs in every major fight. Also, dude's been eye-poking his way to victories and is proud of it. Today's generation of fighters are much better than the days when Jones was fighting Rampage/Chael/etc.
Wrong mate, he only popped a few times. No I ain't excusing him, but he only really used PEDs hard for the DC rematch. The rest was using drugs to hide his actual problem... That he's g@y, his lifetime problem. MMA Guru exposed that completely.
What adds to the aura of Alex is him coming back from a flatline embarrassing KO loss to izzy after 3 months and continuing his dominance of the sport.

Alexander volkov should welcome pereira into the division if alex does indeed move up to heavyweight, he can't get an immediate shot against Tom or jon.
Jones has been hiding down at LHW his entire career, he has the same height and reach as Ngannou but never moved up to make super fights with Cain, Werdum, etc. he waited until DC was 36 and made him cut weight instead of moving up, he waited until Stipe was 42 and fought Francis twice, he took fights with literal Middleweights... but not on short notice, no--he needed to cancel on a PPV and do an Ultimate Fighter run to prepare/build a fight with CHAEL SONNEN..🤣 Meanwhile Pereira is defending his own belt for fun, on short notice, just to save a PPV and finishes in devastating fashion like a real G.O.A.T.
He ain't winning no title at MW mate, he ain't good enough. Alex could do it by cutting 47 pounds cause Alex is a monster, Jiri with that chin downgrade at MW can't do it. He can win it at LHW though vs Ankalaev after Jiri moves up.
@@Jerrard232 Mate, sorry to break it to you but Ankalaev is doing everything he possibly can to avoid fighting Alex Periera. That fight is not happening.
Jon retired from real fighting after his loss to Reyes. There's going to be no exhibition match with either Alex or Tom. They play too rough, unlike Gane and Stipe.
Gane is what pereira is, amazing striker who would get dismantled by people of a similar size that have enough fight iq to use their grappling, Alex would leave 12 of the top 15 heavyweights dead because most are just fat men
I mean... stipe plays rough too, just as much as he can for a 43 year old. Gane however just has literal pillow fists. The guy looks bigger than Tom aspinall but somehow he's 14lbs smaller than him, he looks bigger than Tom aspinall yet his punches don't generate even a tenth of tom's power.
Dana would never allow Alex to fight his manufactured GOAT. Tom would run right through Jon in a single round and Alex would not be as easy to choke out as people think... this isn't Gane and people forget that before the Gane fight Jon couldn't even finish Anthony Smith or a one legged Thiago Santos, and Alex is leaps and bounds more dangerous than either of them. UFC knows this, so they'd rather have him pull a Jake Paul and fight a senior citizen who used to be great. Dana literally said that Alex isn't big enough to compete at Heavyweight... he compared the size of Alex to Chuck Liddell and Forest Griffin, let the insanity of that statement sink in... Alex isn't big enough to fight heavyweights... imagine Alex fighting old man Stipe... somehow old man Stipe who hasn't fought in years and is coming off a loss is a bigger challenge for Jon than Alex who is currently destroying everybody.
Who has aspinall beaten that people are acting like he’s some great fighter? Volkov? Tybura? Arlovski? Pavlovich? None of those guys are S tier elite fighters.
@@2robjenkins Tom has beaten 6 top 10 ranked heavyweights in the division right now... who else is he supposed to beat? How do you make it his fault that he's fighting the top ranked ppl in the division that has the least skill? At least he's done WAY more than jon has at heavyweight. Jon's fought 1 man and was immediately gifted the undisputed belt. There's also the fact that it's not only opponents that determine how good a fighter actually is, but how they fight and what their fights look like... there's like multiple videos showcasing tom's ufc highlights and I don't understand how you think a 262lb guy who moves like that isn't elite enough to school overweight jones? Tom passes all the eye tests.
Jon was having 5 rounders UD at LHW… he struggled to keep Reyes, Gustafson down. Alex has been knocking out these guys. Jon is avoiding these guys and missing the historic narratives for BS legacy fight no one cares about but him and he only wants it cos years of training for Stipe and having Stipe in his head would all be in vain if he doesn’t fight him.
Everyone just think about this: The Main Event Fighter (Conor) pulled out from a Broken Toe, so UFC replaced him with a Main Event Fighter with TWO BROKEN TOES (POATAN). We All know who the REAL Fighter is Now!!
What’s kinda messed up is according to the bylaws of the ufc the moment Jon fights stipe the interim belt is stripped from aspinal. When the champ defends his title upon his return the belt is no longer disputed I don’t think the ufc would do that but it’s possible
@timurjack8773 exactly and Jon would take that fight against Alex before Tom aspinal. Tom is a problem for Jon. Jon would really have to do his homework to beat Tom.
True geordie is a casual. Clearly hes never trained MMA or even watches the sport in depth. Im no fan of jon jones but this man has only fought the best in their primes for a decade now. Alex hasn't even moved up to heavy weight yet and already jon is ducking him? It doesn't make sense, and also why would jon duck a one dimensional stricker? That's an easy fight for him. As for Tom Aspinall i think hes the best bet to beat jon right now but i dont think hes well rounded enough to pose any threat to jon that he hasnt seen before.
Gary said in the ufc fight promo "he's gonna hit me once and I will hit him back six times" Dude held him for his dear life and Jon Jones is almost as infuriating as tyson fury lol.
Alex is probley top 3 strikers we have seen in the ufc eith izzy and silver up there as well I say and when I say striking I mean all limbs but I just think jones allready kinda fought a tall heavy kick boxer in his only win in the heavy weight devision I think jones wrestle fucks him .
@adamburke3379 come on Adam, you know Alex will be ran over at heavyweight, if he beats jj or tom aspinal I will come back here remember your comment and give you 1k cash and deliver it anywhere in the UK or usa.
If Tom beats Blaydes, they gotta make Aspinall v Pereira for the Vegas PPV in December, with the winner of that getting the Jon Jones fight. In the meantime, they should do Ankalaev v Blachowicz 2 for the interim
@@NEX...InLine He's also beatable as we saw with Gus. And he was absolutely beaten by Reyes, Jones isn't superhuman. Alex has a slim chance of beating him. A decent chance if he improves his TD defence even further. You could see he already improved it by a lot when Jiri couldn't take him down at all this time, as opposed to last time.
@______7224 I hear that but that had a lot to do with partying and the drugs. You know he don't get motivated fighting guys like Gus etc. I mean cmon he took the rematch seriously and destroyed Gus easily. Unless Jon Jones has aged suddenly he's still too smart for anyone out there. I'm an ex boxer and a day one Ufc fan and in all my years I ain't seen a better Mma fighter. Said it for years, his days are numbered u guess so it is possible but I'm sticking with Jones until otherwise. I mean even his last fight was impressive at heavyweight
Alex almost got choked by Jan and got controlled by him for minutes, Jones is a different level grappler than Jan, these are just casual comments similar to thinking Gane will be problem for Jones while I said before the fight Gane is easy fight for Jones because Gane has no grappling like Pereira.
@@timurjack8773 Thats why i am eager to see how well poaten fares against ankelev before having this conversation!!! poaten never faced a proper wrestler before so have wait and see !!
I agree! F Geordie for clowning on jiri too. It's always the poatards as well. It's like pereira is such a cool and humble guy but he's got the worst fanbase in MMA.
True Gordie has to be one of the worst general mma analysts out of all the bigger names that talk about mma. (This obviously doesn’t include the fighters, they have cte so shouldn’t be treated the same)
Dana trying to hype up JJ is so awkward to watch. Its obvious to everyone that JJ is avoiding the hard fights at HW and he never beat a champion to become the champ. Nobody else gets to stay on the sidelines for that long and then insist on beating a 43yo who hasnt fought in 4 years and lost the last time he did
Everytime there is a UFC event someone gets tagged with "legendary" "new" "something we've never seen". Knock it off. This guy is never beating Jon Jones.
In boxing the HW division is the box office, the glamour weight! Yet some how in the UFC, they've devalued it by deciding to hold up the whole division because of Jones' injury. When Jiri got injured he handed in the belt, so to did Jamalah Hill, but Dana gave no inkling of asking Jones to do this and obviously JJ didn't chose to do it himself. There should be a time limit for an injured champion to be out, or be made to return the belt and let the ranked 2 & 3 fight for the vacant title. With the injured champion on his return, cleared to fight for his old belt straight off. Aspinall's next fight, as the current interim belt holder, should be for the belt, which has a whole heap of justice and merit to it. What if Machachaev was right now, out injured for a year too? There'd be two dead divisions. I bet Pereiar would hand in the belt, if he was out with a long injury, for it's not made out of a chicken breast, it'll still be there when the fighter is fit to fight again. We've lost out for 2 yrs on the very entertaining fighter, Chandler, who I hope it gets his 'Red Panty Night', but will it ever happen? As with Jones' injury, who knows if that will heal up full, permitting him to fight again. But what we do know, is the HW belt hasn't been seen for many mths now.
I don't think people understand how deadly Jones is in grappling. That dude is not Khabib, Merab, or Ankalaev, he's not going to hold you down on the ground and maul you. Jones in every fights where he had positions on the ground, or even in the clinch, will go for a choke or cave your face in with elbows immediately. Dude is not playing around with his food if he deems you worthy or a good mark for his legacy.

I mean... stipe plays rough too, just as much as he can for a 43 year old. Gane however just has literal pillow fists. The guy looks bigger than Tom aspinall but somehow he's 14lbs smaller than him, he looks bigger than Tom aspinall yet his punches don't generate even a tenth of tom's power.
@user-xr3ul2xc1l Yeah, I think stipe would be an honourable champ. I really hope he does well 👍
Dana would never allow Alex to fight his manufactured GOAT. Tom would run right through Jon in a single round and Alex would not be as easy to choke out as people think... this isn't Gane and people forget that before the Gane fight Jon couldn't even finish Anthony Smith or a one legged Thiago Santos, and Alex is leaps and bounds more dangerous than either of them. UFC knows this, so they'd rather have him pull a Jake Paul and fight a senior citizen who used to be great. Dana literally said that Alex isn't big enough to compete at Heavyweight... he compared the size of Alex to Chuck Liddell and Forest Griffin, let the insanity of that statement sink in... Alex isn't big enough to fight heavyweights... imagine Alex fighting old man Stipe... somehow old man Stipe who hasn't fought in years and is coming off a loss is a bigger challenge for Jon than Alex who is currently destroying everybody.
Who has aspinall beaten that people are acting like he’s some great fighter? Volkov? Tybura? Arlovski? Pavlovich? None of those guys are S tier elite fighters.
@@2robjenkins Tom has beaten 6 top 10 ranked heavyweights in the division right now... who else is he supposed to beat? How do you make it his fault that he's fighting the top ranked ppl in the division that has the least skill? At least he's done WAY more than jon has at heavyweight. Jon's fought 1 man and was immediately gifted the undisputed belt. There's also the fact that it's not only opponents that determine how good a fighter actually is, but how they fight and what their fights look like... there's like multiple videos showcasing tom's ufc highlights and I don't understand how you think a 262lb guy who moves like that isn't elite enough to school overweight jones? Tom passes all the eye tests.
Pereira’s face coming off the stool, just before the second round, was the most “I’m about to knock you the fuck out” look I’ve ever seen in a fight
Jon was having 5 rounders UD at LHW… he struggled to keep Reyes, Gustafson down. Alex has been knocking out these guys. Jon is avoiding these guys and missing the historic narratives for BS legacy fight no one cares about but him and he only wants it cos years of training for Stipe and having Stipe in his head would all be in vain if he doesn’t fight him.
Everyone just think about this: The Main Event Fighter (Conor) pulled out from a Broken Toe, so UFC replaced him with a Main Event Fighter with TWO BROKEN TOES (POATAN). We All know who the REAL Fighter is Now!!
And he threw those broken toes at the opponents head a KOed him lol.
What’s kinda messed up is according to the bylaws of the ufc the moment Jon fights stipe the interim belt is stripped from aspinal. When the champ defends his title upon his return the belt is no longer disputed
I don’t think the ufc would do that but it’s possible
Jon will only look to wrestle and submit alex... he will look to do so the whole fight.
....and? that's called strategy. Just because you WANT and stand up fight doesn't mean you get one. It's about WINNING.
@Matt_Mosley1983 , Jan almost beat Pereira by wrestling, it was a close fight. Jones or Ankalaev are different level wrestlers than Jan.
@timurjack8773 exactly and Jon would take that fight against Alex before Tom aspinal. Tom is a problem for Jon. Jon would really have to do his homework to beat Tom.
Before and After the fight Ian Garry is the most incredible thing ever, it's just the actual Fight part that he has nothing to show.
"A good kickboxing career" lmaooooooo
Pain Game always facts
My opinion bones don't want no piece of Aspinall
True geordie is a casual. Clearly hes never trained MMA or even watches the sport in depth.
Im no fan of jon jones but this man has only fought the best in their primes for a decade now. Alex hasn't even moved up to heavy weight yet and already jon is ducking him? It doesn't make sense, and also why would jon duck a one dimensional stricker? That's an easy fight for him.
As for Tom Aspinall i think hes the best bet to beat jon right now but i dont think hes well rounded enough to pose any threat to jon that he hasnt seen before.
Bless you brother
Come on Brian, Jon Jones would do him like Gane and I hate Jon Jones.
Gary said in the ufc fight promo "he's gonna hit me once and I will hit him back six times" Dude held him for his dear life and Jon Jones is almost as infuriating as tyson fury lol.
Nice video 😊
True Geordie,where did u buy that Polo t shirt??It looks good
Jon Jones will only get his respect after retirement...MMA fans forget soo easily...
He’s not even a McGregor from Wish. It’s like a McGregor from Temu
i think Alex is actually no threat to Jon Jones
I think more people should request that others not use Shamanic Black Magic, I'm just trying to get through my day.
This guy is a casual man🤣
If i remember correctly, Renan Barao defended the interim title against TJ Dillashaw
Y’all forget who jones is
And if bones is still alive good luck Alex
and hes older than Jonnny Bones Jones which is also crazy
Izzy knocked out Alex … Tom aspinal will one round maul him
Alex is probley top 3 strikers we have seen in the ufc eith izzy and silver up there as well I say and when I say striking I mean all limbs but I just think jones allready kinda fought a tall heavy kick boxer in his only win in the heavy weight devision I think jones wrestle fucks him .
steady on Brian, did you watch the Bruno Silva fight? got to feel bad for Jiri pro hacker.
Why are you speaking about his 2nd ufc fight and not the 5 title fights he’s had 😭
@adamburke3379 come on Adam, you know Alex will be ran over at heavyweight, if he beats jj or tom aspinal I will come back here remember your comment and give you 1k cash and deliver it anywhere in the UK or usa.
He is no danger to jones he wrestle
Fks Alex in one round
Tom aspinal won’t beat Curtis blades
Bones will wrap Alex like a pretzel and finish him in 1 round
If Tom beats Blaydes, they gotta make Aspinall v Pereira for the Vegas PPV in December, with the winner of that getting the Jon Jones fight. In the meantime, they should do Ankalaev v Blachowicz 2 for the interim
Dana, don't forget to do Jon's zipper up when your done down there 😂
2:26 Jiri's team didnt join in the stare down like pereira's pereira got 4 team members keeping eye contact too
An Alex Pereira video on The pain game! LET'S GOOO!!🎉
Jon did headkick DC, although he did have a failed test
Yep, they forgetting Jones has won every kind of way possible. He's a Ninja
@@NEX...InLine He's also beatable as we saw with Gus. And he was absolutely beaten by Reyes, Jones isn't superhuman. Alex has a slim chance of beating him. A decent chance if he improves his TD defence even further. You could see he already improved it by a lot when Jiri couldn't take him down at all this time, as opposed to last time.
@______7224 I hear that but that had a lot to do with partying and the drugs. You know he don't get motivated fighting guys like Gus etc. I mean cmon he took the rematch seriously and destroyed Gus easily. Unless Jon Jones has aged suddenly he's still too smart for anyone out there. I'm an ex boxer and a day one Ufc fan and in all my years I ain't seen a better Mma fighter. Said it for years, his days are numbered u guess so it is possible but I'm sticking with Jones until otherwise. I mean even his last fight was impressive at heavyweight
@______7224 Oh yeah and if he's was to lose then it would be fitting a class fighter like Perira to beat Jones.
Crazy that Jon Jones was asking who the people wanted him to fight next, Tom or Alex. Now he seems to want zero part of either of them!
Question .
What would actually happen to the heavyweight devision if miocic beats jones ? Just imagine
Can't see him beating Aspinal
To be fair to JJ, the state of the LHW division is sad compared to back then.
alex is a pure savage, looks like he just walked out of the jungle after eating 5 people.
alex beating jones nowadays is no longer a hot take
He must atleast get 2 more defences before that
@@sameersheriff7078 Just one against Ankalaev, he already beat Hill and Jiri twice who are the biggest threats.
Alex almost got choked by Jan and got controlled by him for minutes, Jones is a different level grappler than Jan, these are just casual comments similar to thinking Gane will be problem for Jones while I said before the fight Gane is easy fight for Jones because Gane has no grappling like Pereira.
@@timurjack8773 Thats why i am eager to see how well poaten fares against ankelev before having this conversation!!! poaten never faced a proper wrestler before so have wait and see !!
@@dunaldiX Poaten never faced a proper wresltler before and he might struggle against such opponents in the ground so its not cut and dry bruh...!!!!
Man he broke jiris antenna ☹️
Hate how everyone’s clowning Jiri
I agree! F Geordie for clowning on jiri too. It's always the poatards as well. It's like pereira is such a cool and humble guy but he's got the worst fanbase in MMA.
I mean, i distinctly remember Jon headkicking DC lmao
Why don't you live commentary to some great fights? Have you got any links to some? You have Juju spirit on fights....
'LETS WRASTLE!!!! ....O?...SO NOW YOU'RE A 'WRASTLER?....bruh we've got t-shirts man......ian got schooled 👊 💥
Jiri is just special in the head when he mentioned Magic. It’s not physiologically warfare or anything like that, it’s just Jiri being Jiri.
Ian Garry saying he has the best calf kicks ever when Justin G is out here is crazy 😂
Aspinall vs Pereira for the Final Boss belt
Renan barao had to defend an interm title. Tom aspinall isn't the first
Alex is doesn't use black magic, he uses infinity stones !
He's thanos , he's only got one stone left to go !!
HEAVYWEIGHT ,THE POWER STONE
Let’s see Tom vs Alex. John has earned the right to fight that winner.
Man Alex vs jon would be such a fucking great event
Jiri prohacka😂😂😂
True Gordie has to be one of the worst general mma analysts out of all the bigger names that talk about mma. (This obviously doesn’t include the fighters, they have cte so shouldn’t be treated the same)
Love Jiri Pro-Hacker, and the undertaker from the W-E
Dana trying to hype up JJ is so awkward to watch. Its obvious to everyone that JJ is avoiding the hard fights at HW and he never beat a champion to become the champ. Nobody else gets to stay on the sidelines for that long and then insist on beating a 43yo who hasnt fought in 4 years and lost the last time he did
We need a leon edwards esk character to beat bro
Everytime there is a UFC event someone gets tagged with "legendary" "new" "something we've never seen". Knock it off. This guy is never beating Jon Jones.
Alex will get dominated by a wrestler. Jones can wrestle and he will beat Alex
The most technically awkward looking fighter I’ve ever seen but somehow he’s insane
Geordie stole uncle chaels back drop
PAIN GAIN YOU DEFINITELY GOT IT BSCKWARDS . BONES JONES DEFINITELY DANGER TO ALEX
In boxing the HW division is the box office, the glamour weight!
Yet some how in the UFC, they've devalued it by deciding to hold up the whole division because of Jones' injury.
When Jiri got injured he handed in the belt, so to did Jamalah Hill, but Dana gave no inkling of asking Jones to do this and obviously JJ didn't chose to do it himself.
There should be a time limit for an injured champion to be out, or be made to return the belt and let the ranked 2 & 3 fight for the vacant title.
With the injured champion on his return, cleared to fight for his old belt straight off.
Aspinall's next fight, as the current interim belt holder, should be for the belt, which has a whole heap of justice and merit to it.
What if Machachaev was right now, out injured for a year too? There'd be two dead divisions.
I bet Pereiar would hand in the belt, if he was out with a long injury, for it's not made out of a chicken breast, it'll still be there when the fighter is fit to fight again.
We've lost out for 2 yrs on the very entertaining fighter, Chandler, who I hope it gets his 'Red Panty Night', but will it ever happen?
As with Jones' injury, who knows if that will heal up full, permitting him to fight again.
But what we do know, is the HW belt hasn't been seen for many mths now.
I don't think people understand how deadly Jones is in grappling. That dude is not Khabib, Merab, or Ankalaev, he's not going to hold you down on the ground and maul you. Jones in every fights where he had positions on the ground, or even in the clinch, will go for a choke or cave your face in with elbows immediately. Dude is not playing around with his food if he deems you worthy or a good mark for his legacy.
Stipe literally fought dc three times before ngannou like he couldn’t fight any of the other heavyweights when he was fighting dc
