Casual I thought you speak about Rountree gastank instead Pereira , thats why i called you casual. Miscomunication, My bad, sory. Ofcourse Pereira have huge gas tank always. and Rountree is just cheater on steroids, who by the way was caught few months ago.
What a fresh air fighters like Khalil bring to mma, no BS, just a man who has his dreams and suffered a set back and recognizes his limits and will improve...warrior
@@chameliol.salamander3186He means a set back towards his goal, which is to get the belt and be champion. It is a setback for that because obviously his title shot is over now and he would have to work up to another one by stringing together some wins now.
Khalil is the definition of a good sport man. I love this dude so much. Proper heart in the cage and a legit man off of it! No excuses just work and respect. You have gained a big fan brother!
@@Evilkevin3 he isn't that type of fighter alot of the time the fall of is because the fighter loses all hope and motivation this guy has recovered himself from alot of mental battles and considering how he seems fine on this interview in terms of how he is acting i think he won't fall off
Everyone in Brazil knows that, I find it crazy how people in the us mostly talk about his power. His intelligence and work ethics are clearly his biggest strengths, but maybe because of the language barrier that’s not clear for non Brazilians
@@augustolage4368 I mean, these people need to go to his channel because he clearly knows what he's doing and is precise at it. He even helped build Sean Strickland up..
Lol where was the fight IQ when izzy knocked his lights out he tried to do the same thing that he did in their first fight that worked for him....Didnt realise this time Izzy is baiting him into a counter attack.
@@tebogomaphephe3470 He has fight IQ, but something fans don't want to acknowledge is he has an ego. Everyone is human. He started to believe his own hype and it cost him against Adesanya who he thought was simply incapable of beating him. Thinking he could tee off on Adesanya without thinking about his defense. Lesson learnt, NEVER underestimate your opponent.
How can you not like Khalil… it wasn’t his time this time but he understands he lost and needs to get better. Mark my words he will be champion one day.
I'm a big fan of Alex, But Khalil impressed me and has shown to be very humble and i vibe with that i'll be rooting for him in his next fight for sure!
People don't pray Khalil enough, he won rounds 1 and 2 with amazing fashion, and he went against probably the best Fighter rn in the UFC. Khalil you're a Warrior sir! Cant wait to see you again in the octagon
Respect man. I hardly hear anyone speak about Poet so its real refreshing to see something like this. I felt everything you were saying, especially about the best artists being the ones you don't hear. I hope you have a great week and that you keep doing what you do.
Khalil earned himself a lifelong fan in me. Dude carries himself like a G and he was putting in work inside the cage. Also he recognized what he could improve on and I know he’ll be back better than ever. Excited to see his next fight
Khalil had best chances to dominate when pereira was out of position. Two times. Look at ddp if he stick to striking he is not gonna defeat izzy. He saw the opportunity and changed levels. And submitted him. That’s how champions and good fighters are differentiated. But Khalil want to give fans a fight. He excelled in it
Khalil has never wrestled anyone, he does not have the ability to dictate where the fight takes place. Idk why people think he can wrestle any better than Alex can, id bet money Alex grapples at a higher level than Khalil.
@@AlexRubioyea he is. Pyramid symbolism after fights and has occultist tattoos including Anton LaVey (however it’s spelt). His dad was sacrificed for boys 2 men to go to the nxt level of fame and fortune which they did. Also Alex coach is a Freemason. Look at his gyms logo/symbol and also his photos he taken in the past
I mean to be fair, he was right. It was a shocker to the world. People underestimated Khalil, whom gained allot of fans even though he lost the fight itself. Respect that that warrior, he a dawg.
Thank you for this fight to both khalil and Alex and I love to see the respect afterwards. I’m sure they both hold a high level of admiration for each other after that fight. It’s beautiful to see such talented skill be so humble and open. Khalil has always been cool but I think he’s built quite a level of respect in this last year or two. It’s an honor to watch this dude compete.
Khalil seems like a down to earth dude and he can really fight. He was very sharp against Poatan but he absorbed a savage beating and went out on his shield like a warrior.
I never knew much about Khalil's personality, but hearing him talk here makes me really respect him as a sportsman as much as I already did as a fighter.
Guys, I think you have the best mma podcast on RUclips. It reminds me of Spittin Chiclets. Two former pros talking with fighters, and getting them to open up in a way that I have never seen before. Kudos.
This dude needs to go way up the rankings. He'd smash most of top 5. I'd like to see him n Uri fight. I just hope Perria can handle high level grappling and what happened to McGregor with Khabib or what just happened to Omaley doesn't happen to Perria with Ankelev n him just get taken down n submitted. If he can handle the high level grappling to noone in this gen is beating him it'd taken prime Comier or obviously Jones but noone is beating now if he get by Ankelev
I don’t really know Khalil but wow such a stand up and humble guy. It’s very rare you see this within fighters. He gave so much grace, props and praise to his opponent without any sly digs or indirects.
I already was a Pereira fan, but after their fight, I became a fan of Khalil too. He is a straight up, respectful and passionate fighter. I really hope he has a great career ahead of him.
I don't know why Khalil went under my radar for so long... Not just that he's a talented athlete he also seems to be a genuine, humble and likeable guy.
I knew even if Khalil came short that night he’d still win over the fans hearts and give us a hell of a show. Stand up guy for sure can’t wait to see him become champ possibly.
One thing which sticked with me is his patience…. His stoic attitude literally shifted unto his fight game…. It’s insane because within a second he just explodes with sheer power but will completely hypnotize you during the fight as if there’s no danger.
To date, this Khalil is the best opponent, good body shape, fit and made the fight so interesting. And his never give up attitude until the end, was very applaudable.
Big respect to Roundtree. He came there to win and refused to go down when 99% of the roster would have called it quits after the 3rd. Dude has tons of heart and fought until his body gave out on him
I love hearing this respect towards his opponent. No excuses, just pointing out what surprised him, giving Alex credit, and accepting that he was beaten. And let's face it, Khalil put on an absolute show for us too. It takes 2 to tango and not many people can do so for that long with Pereira...
Never was a roundtree fan, but after the fight with Alex, dude has my respect, roundtree is a monster, and fought Alex until he just couldn't go anymore.. dudes a real warrior and thanks for the fight brother..
I have always rocked with Khalil especially after I heard him sing hardcore at a show, but the grace in the loss and even complimenting Poaton makes me like him more.
Something that has always stood out to me was the absolute calm and reserved nature of his style. He will stand a foot in front of you, hands down, and slip your punch and sleep you. Absolutely terrifying
Brazilian here. When you watch Alex’ youtube videos, you can see he’s all about smart work. He’s constantly giving advices on small adjustments, be it on punches, kicks, or even in defense so you can counterattack faster.
Dude Khalil is BEAST, they need a round two both of these gents are the best in the world rn, I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone mention much about Alex’s fight IQ, takes a pretty intelligent person to notice that
His gas tank is also extremely underrated.. Alex doesn’t stop bruh.. Khalil is the man though.. thank you for that fight

Maybe if the guy wasn't on steroids. He's a cheat. People who strike other people while jacked up from steroids are not good people.
he resembles Leather Face😅

Hes a mason tho g

Me too! I think that Khalil has gained many Brazilian fans like myself. Dude is a savage. 100% heart. Hope he wins the belt next
Oh ya man what an incredible example for kids He is the MAN!
He beat a mental addiction too 💪🏽🙏

Great human being to clinch the belt one day.

I can see that. Alex know how to observe and adapt his opponent's style.

My respect is automatic when a fighter is acknowledging the greatness of its opponent even after he lost the fight. Sportsmanship at its finest
He'd make a good commentator when he decides to stop fighting he's well spoken and articulate.

Finally, a real man! I was expecting some embarrassing excuses or self-pity as we are used to! Cheers!
great respect to khalil dude fought as good of a fight as you can, had a lot of heart on display, much respect
Khalil merece respeito. I’m a Poatan fan but Khalil has earned my admiration.
I love fighter who don’t have crazy egos , who can give the man his props and even compliment him.
Yeah its very refreshing.
Final boss is the perfect description 😂😂😂

humility makes a man!
to lose a huge fight and be able to reflect this way is proper sportsmanship 👏👏👏
Man this guy Khalil is an awesome human being
All power to Khalil still🙏🏿This ain’t a L, just another stepping stone in the journey
Khalil is just a good dude. And, even better, you can tell that he is learning and appreciating nuances in his opponents to improve his own skills.
This is a man who is respectful. Great fighter, and great fight.
Khalil entered phase 2 of the final boss stage. Not many have.
We need more humble warriors! I'm a fan of this beast of a gentleman!
❤️ Respect to both fighters... Poatan living a dream and we get to go along and watch him continue to dominate
Khalil is a warrior damn I love the way he describes his battles
A Johnny Walker rematch wouldnt hurt for Khalil haha
This time around Khalil sleeps Glass chin Walker
Maybe Johnny Walker is more intelligent 😅

There were no losers on this fight! What a spectacle!
You are a winner in my eyes sir !!! Keep on going and come back stronger!!!!!
As soon as Pereira started landing that jab, you can totally see his gameplan change!! Chama! 🔥
Now thats a great sportsmanship...not crying about his loss but actually reviewing the fight and complimenting the winner with class.
