Huge respect to Izzy for bringing Alex to the ufc.😄
Hey Adesanya come to daddy
Huge respect to Alex for retiring Izzy from kickboxing and running to a new sport in MMA
@@DB___496
I mean Pereira by that logic also got retired by Vakhitov in his last Kickboxing fight🤷♂️
I don't get why Pereira fans always need to disrespect Adesanya while Pereira himself speaks about Adesanya in the highest tones
@@DB___496running to a new sport…. To become champ? All that effort to hate and you couldn’t even stick the landing
Much respect to Izzy for putting Alex Pereira to sleep and sending him to his natural division where Jamahal hill the African king is going to put him to sleep too.
His ring entrance with that warrior scream is one of the coolest ringwalks in the entire UFC
I got hyped everytime he does that lol same as bruce buffer announcing the main event like shit that cold af!!!!
@@beatdillazBruce Buffer is cringey af lol
@@Monkey_11no way u hatin on bruce u cant be dat miserable💀
Without a doubt
@@Monkey_11thats why opinions are opinions
Alex is without a doubt one of the best things to happen to the UFC. So glad he joined the company
Conor is definitely the best
Connor got cracked out lol @@recko800
@@recko800 not the point
@@fwnolann Why not? because Conor McGregor's rise to fame in the UFC can be attributed to several factors, including his exceptional fighting skills, magnetic personality, and savvy self-promotion. He possesses a rare combination of talent, showmanship, and confidence, which has captured the attention of fans worldwide. McGregor's ability to generate excitement and draw massive audiences has played a significant role in making him the most famous UFC fighter of his time. Additionally, his success in multiple weight classes and his willingness to take on high-profile challenges have further solidified his status as a legendary figure in the sport.
@@fwnolann and with all that how can you say Alex periarana is the best thing that ever happened to UFC? 🖕🏻
I get that Pereira is an incredible kickboxer but to come into the UFC and NOT get taken down and ground£ed, and not get submitted, even after getting into the deep end of the talent pool, is nothing short of incredible ! He made something incredibly difficult look easy
Facts!
He learned extremely fast. I know he has Glover and is from Brazil, home of BJJ but damn he's a natural fighter. From his build, height, natural K.O power. He even started late fighting at age 21, more proof that he is a fast learner.
Shows that striking>grappling, but to be honest both are important
@@dusanprimal3344he hasn't even fought a top grappler yet. He got taken down by practically every striker he fought.
He hasn’t fought a wrestler yet tho. Cumshot can probably easily beat him or bo nickal. Unless they get caught ofc
I love how Joe spent the entire debut trying to convince DC how good Pereira is 😂
Goes to show what MMA fighters know. Cormier barely follows his own sport.
@@PoatanCombatSportGOAT
I think he knows more than you💀
Pereira was literally only known in Kickboxing before UFC, DC was never into Kickboxing so why should he be an expert in terms of Alex?
@@That-One-Spy-Main difference between Joe and DC is that Joe actually pays attention to the sport and not just the organization
@@gilbertmontoya3005yeahhhhhh they don’t wanna accept that DC is a biased and uninformed commentator sometimes(a lot)
@@PoatanCombatSportGOAT I’m sorry but dc is one of the greatest analytical minds in the sport. I don’t think you can blame him for not being familiar with a kickboxer’s potential
Joe's comments around the first fight and during it has aged like the best wine ever made and even DC has said "man I thought you were lying"
What does Cormier know?
cause DC doesn't do his homework...dude had legendary credentials before the ufc
Joe Rogan always hyped Alex hard it was so cool to see how highly he always talked about Alex and man he was so right
Huge success for UFC to signed Alex, this dude is one of the biggest surprise in recent years
Thanks bro
I'll never forget when Joe said the Mahogany line and the Twitter feed in the bottom right had Stephen Wonderboy Thompson saying "so thats what Mahogany feels like."
Never noticed that lol
Pause
@@DavidViayra it was incredible because watching it live, my friends and I were like what the hell is Joe talking about Mahogany? And then WB out of the bottom corner.
Lol
Alex has the best walkout , no flashy music, no flashing lights. just a man at his core. A hunter.
Alex mma journey is incredible. The guy used to work in attire shop and drank 3 or 5 times a day . He worked his ass off from the favelas . He is two division kickboxing glory champion, Inducted in the glory hall of fame 2023 , signed with ufc and became two division CHAMP. No matter where you come from or what you have been through . If you have the desire to be great and want very bad umto succeed in life you can . Never give up on your dreams . Chama.

Ele era borracheiro 😐 mas sim história linda mano e o melhor e que ele é o primeiro duplo campeão do glory

Best striker in the UFC by far. I became 10x more interested in UFC ever since Alex joined. A true fighter.

Imagine what the ufc would be right now without Alex🤯

@@zwergz1122 I'm homophobic, what are you gonna do about it?
U are joking, right?
If you’re a fan of martial arts, you have got to love Alex Pereira
Absolutely insane what this dude has accomplished. Became a legend in like 8 fights. What a champion.
This guy is such a physical specimen. He's built to put people into orbit.
Im built different
Insane that he can make 185
If he hit me in the head id pass away
"I beat that guy one time"
Izzy was the guy who made Pereira fame and saved his life and is a legend of the sport
Pereira himself knows too that he is not some bar guy even if y'all wanna tell yourself that
@@That-One-Spy-MainHe recently got a DUI. He may become that bar guy after all.
@@duramaxdad
,,Recently"
That was more than 6 months ago dude🫤
He paid that off and he got no more problems with that now
Unlike Alex, he didn't have an alcohol addiction
@@duramaxdad OMG. A DUI??? Lock him up for life. How dreadful.
Damn, karma might be real 😂
I love how everyone called early stoppage on the jiri fight then when they interviewed jiri he was like “oh ya I was out haha”
Jiri is a top man, dude vacated when injured and admits to defeat
The ufc should be thankfully for having Alex pereira
He's absolutely truly exceptional, beating Izzy three times is nothing short but high level striking huge respect
Alex was getting ragged in the first fight with Izzy. Man.
@@thegigabytesphotographyvid3158 So what? He still lost.
@@LeonardoMoreira-pz3qu then later slept your boy 😂
@@thegigabytesphotographyvid3158 My boy? Fights are decided by the outcome, not your feelings. He has knocked out some of the best strikers in the world of kickboxing, and now many UFC champions have found themselves in trouble against him. Being knocked out once or twice is pretty common and acceptable. He's not invincible.
@@thegigabytesphotographyvid3158 zzy was put on an oxygen balloon, by the way
Pereira is tough is he on a path to greatness comparable to Jones, GSP, Anderson Silva, Amanda Nunes, Conor McGregor these are UFC legends
Alex's been to the UFC for such a short time and he's already my favorite! Such a scary dude!
Pereira gonna give jamahal some sweat dream's
I remember Jamal a few months ago on JRE talking about "I want all the smoke" directly mentioning fighting pereira
Hill will KO Poatard out cold like what Izzy did to him 😂😂😂😂
I hope so! It should be a great fight. Hill's boxing is so good. Just has to avoid those leg kicks.@@-_XD
Sweet*
Facts! I don’t get why Hill is THAT confident, brother you’re coming off injury fighting a rock 😂
He Join The UFC In 2021 the first year Year He Became MW Champ And the Second Year He Became LHW Champ What a Warrior 👑
Im that good
Brilliant performance~ Alex! Keep going on! from 🇰🇷
Alex is a elite kickboxer and a prefect martial artist who know the meaning of respect and the boundaries,i always thanks izzy for bringing this guy into mma. He’s my favorite fighter…chama🗿
I have a feeling Alex and Izzy will fight again for the LHW belt if Alex hangs on to it long enough. They really do need to run the trilogy either way
The book will close as it opened.
Izzy said he wants that 205 fight in a champ vs champ fight and Alex obviously wants it too so we just need to hope that Izzy gets his belt back and that Alex doesn't lose it
Izzy won’t take the fight he’s on record saying, multiple times, the score is “settled” 😂
@@Wonderlaust"I dont keep score, i settle them." - Izzy.
Says the guy who's 1-3. 😂
Love how Glover was more hyped than Pereira after piecing up izzy 😂❤
Never liked Izzy but he brought Alex to the ufc so I’m thankful
How he beat Sean and jiri was crazy, alex land the hock on sean right side and his left leg gives up, like he was about to spinning and he lifted jiri up with that hock like jiri was about jumping up
Why so much hate? Why not appreciate Izzy and Alex for entertaining us the fans🤦🏾♂️
I agree. They are both great fighters.
Yeah i dont like izzy but I always look forward to his fights fs.
@@sethpantz8176 how do u look forward to leg kicks and running?
@@in33d2floss7ur clearly a casual Izzy is elite ur probably the type of guy who thinks Strickland is entertaining with his pillow fist jab
@@sethpantz8176 leg kicking at range and having the most overated reign next to Usman?
That dudes made out of Mahogany is my favorite Rogan line.
Probably smart for Izzy and Alex that they didn’t do the trilogy. Leave it tied for now. Neither guy loses marketability. Something to hope for in the future.
His fight against Jiri was the most anticipated fight this decade for me
Right? It's like our modern Fedor vs. Crocop, some Pride shit.
Jiri said on interview that he was out. You can say anything. If jiri said, it's said.
@@Freeka566 you're arguing under the wrong comment, but I didn't need him to say that he was out because nobody tries to take someone down falling backwards and have their opponent in mount immediately
Alex and Izzy owe each other big time
Alex Pereira is a monster, with incredible knockout power.
I would also say that Adesanaya is a great fighter, he gave Pereira the hardest fights. It seems that many fans do not understand that they can be admired both.
Vamos poatan de argentina te apoyamos dale campeon ufc 300 ❤
Pereira came to UFC already beeing 4 time kickboxing champions, and thats CRAZY
Came and became 3 time champion
Alex and Izzy's rivalry is one of the greatest stories in combat sports. Gotta love it 🔥
If you pay close attention to Jiri's hands around alex, when Alex knocked jiri down a bit, you can see how they go completly limp like a dead body, because Jiri does in fact go out there, its kind of hard to see because of the angle and the speed of it all, but its there.
Huge respect to Alex!
Essa entrada de Poatan é simplesmente linda, digna de um verdadeiro guerreiro.
Ao som de sepultura
That Entrance with that Arrow shooting and those Hook combos...if by chance someone gets infront of that He gets disqualified 😂😂😂😂
After that first kick of the fight Alex was like uh what? Aii lemme show you how to kick then gets the kick 😂
Thank you Izzy for giving Alex to the UFC 🔥
best thing Izzy has ever done in his entire career by far lmaoooo
Alexs resume is literally better than Izzys now its so funny
Man what a journey for Alex Pereira! First becomes a Two weight division in Glory Kickboxing, then joins the UFC in 2021 and is an absolute phenom, becoming a two weight world champion in UFC in 2 years of joining the company. Absolutely unheard of. Alex Pereira is truly special and one of the greatest combat sports athletes ever. 👏👏👏👏🇧🇷🗿
Seing Glover more happy for Alex getting the belt then when he himself got the belt is so cool. They are truly brothers 🤎
so cool man
with all access to any ufc footage and an alex pereira short doc to come out like this, UFC step up your guys
Ufc needs to bring back " thrill and agony"
And inside the octagon i miss that shit
alex is a future top 5 for sure, the way he’s going he just needs more defenses to solidify himself
He is already 36 I think and I don't see him keeping that belt long enough to get close to top 5 worthy guys like Volk, DC, Mighty, Silva, Jones, Aldo
But he could still enter the top 15
@@That-One-Spy-Main i could see him being higher then aldo , as the 2x belt makes the world of a difference, although aldo has had a longer run i think if alex has a good amount of defenses it will be up for debate
@@eerrrrrrrr4.5
People overrate 2 belts ngl
Just because Conor has 2 belts doesn't mean he's close to Khabib
Or just because Cejudo has 2 belts doesn't mean he's close to Johnson
It's all the title defenses and wins over top contenders that Aldo has
That means much more in my eyes
@@eerrrrrrrr4.5Aldo went undefeated for 10 years.
@Goofyahhshitbozzo some people are different. Alex could be another Anderson Silva
I really like how they added the fight promos into these fighters career highlights, it really brings context into the fights and story
Alex doesn't match with random people,Alex is a brand
Scariest left hook I‘ve ever seen hands down
Truly one of the most special fights of all times, such a powerful aura

when izzy kos alex that has to be one of the top 10 coldest knockouts in ufc history
Ruined it by being a cringe lord.
Nope. It can be one in terms of celebrations but not the ko. Alex got caught , Izzy didn't setup anything its 50/50. Plus Izzy got hurt as well. Coldest KO is getting a hit in the cup and hold up ref let me cook this mf is the coldest one you ever see in UFC history
@@cricketcavalry1824 I agree w this fs
My favorite fighter. Guys a beast and an absolute legend. Can't wait till 300
Alex really has the potential to be the first 3-division champion. He has proven himself in middle and lhw, and he has the power to destroy in heavyweight. Excited for the future this man holds.
WE NEED A TRILOGY
At light heavyweight where he is not drained
@@HyperReality4
That's a cheap excuse cuz 80% of his Kickboxing career was at 185 and nobody ever used it as an excuse there
Izzy said he would fight him in a champ vs champ fight at 205 to make the fight as big as possible
So let's hope he beats DDP
@@That-One-Spy-Mainhe is 36 now. Hard to cut to 185
@@shaidanwheel6199
DC was almost 40 and a natural Heavyweight and he still fought at 205🤷♂️
And that is a much harder weight cut than Pereira's
Nobody used that excuse for him when he lost cuz it doesn't matter🤦♂ ️

This is great! The UFC should do more of these. I saw AP’s debut in NY - What a fighter!
Alexi Pereira you are good a fighting I like that,
Wow great Job 👍💯
i don’t know if you guys noticed that timed shot on yiri was sick! When you really take a look he landed the same shot izzy landed on him.
Stoked to find out how far Alex can take his career. Im here for it!!! Lets go Poatan!!
Just the sheer fan following Alex has gained over the last 2-3 years of being in the UFC, despite being a non-english speaker, is a once-in-a-generation kind of accomplishment. That too without much trash talking and outside-fight antics!!
But he is a troll. Savage troll. I lost it when he did the tennis ball blindfold sparing
This bouta be fire 🔥
Jamal at the end ahahaha that aged so well
When I watched his debut I heard Rogans hype and after the way he finished his opponent I became a fan, checked out his past fights and acquainted myself with his history.
i watched that fight against Powell live and i am Alex fan but i was seriously worried about Powell the dude was unconscious for 7 min 😂 , hope he is ok
Alex and yuri need that rematch both showed major respect and are both capable fighters I wonder how it would turn out
chama
I love how on his first few fights the security walking out with him look confused asf at his walkout action😂😂
One of the incredible killing puncher...Pereira is the best
I realised whenever the UFC put highlights on Alex they never show the Bruno silva fight I wonder why
facts, pereira had some cool moments in that fight
Alex da borracharia pra campeao do glory e ufc, lendário
Sean putting his hands up in dispute after both his feet were straight up in the air will never not make me laugh lmaooo
The black guard's face in his first walkout as Alex was firing the arrow 😂
I just wish him the best.
Being Irish Conor is always gonna be my favorite of all time, but man this Alex Pereira guy is truely one of the baddest dudes on the planet man
That left hook is a thing of beauty.
That Jiri v Alex staredown was so intense I felt my heart beating through my chest. my God
I love alex, but we know his chin is questionable, first fight he was saved by that bell
ㅇㅈ
at 185 yeah... hard to cut weight at that age when you are natural 225
Alex can become the 3 division UFC champ if he beat Jon Jones
If Alex goes to HW and fights for the belt, weather he wins or loses its gunna be super hard to deny him GOAT status.... NO ONE has ever done that .....
this guy is probably the best fighter this world has ever seen. enjoy. the true amazon warrior.
Alex fight, the UFC world stops and watches.
I hope Izzy gets belt again so we can see Izzy vs Alex again.
Timed too perfection...Master level💯
Alex Pereira is a true warrior.
He always was and is better than Izzy.. no doubt!
Not really
I don't say Izzy is better
But Izzy won a big majority of the rounds despite always having a huge weight disadvantage and his MMA resume is much better than Pereira's(something where all the all time greats agree)
Pereira is the better Kickboxer and Izzy the better MMA fighter
@@That-One-Spy-Main yeah at 185 where Alex was completely drained and he still managed to win 3 times to 1 lmao so yeah Alex is miles ahead lol Alexs resume is already better than Izzys

Best chance anyone had to beat Alex was his ufc debut. He’s a different breed now 🏆🏆
Used to be good production, narration etc on these journey to ufc champion videos. Mow they dont care enough. They just cobble together then fight clips smh
Agreed.

I love both equally. They’re both unique and astonishing fighters with a high skillset. The fights we could witness because of them should be appreciated. That’s what the sport is about: rivalry, competition and respect. Looking forward seeing more beautiful fights from them.
