No gimmicks, no disrespect, no trash talk, he just works hard and gets the motherfucking job done, Alex is a living legend, and nobody can take that from him.
Alex Pereira has become must see for me. I enjoy his walkout and his intensity and no bulls**t attitude. I never thought I would watch a fighter for just 1 punch besides Francis cause it changes the fight so immensely
@@telmolicious working and taking care of my family. I can't just drop everything I'm doing to watch UFC. I have responsibilities to take care of and a family
That all this comes from Izzy being a mook and calling him some guy in a bar in Brazil.. hilarious and awesome in many ways. Also, his walkout is gangster. Dude gives off all the best vibes for the show and then just spanks fools. Hero
All true but Izzy saying that was a reaction to Alex posting Izzys defeat to him on Izzys UFC timelines during Izzys pursuit of the belt and Alex was in Anderson Silvers corner when Izzy fought him so Alex was already hovering in UFC circles, that being said Alex is a bad dude
I wonder if Izzy ever actually went to a bar, and said that to himself, just to fully embody the true profound irony of it. That almost too unbelievable, even for a movie. Can't believe Izzy said that, and everything he was talking about actually came true, but for him. And all because he just wanted to put Alex down. And then history happened. It's nuts! I could imagine Izzy without the title, going to a bar, raising a glass to Alex Pereira on tv, who just won another title, Izzy shaking his head and smiling and saying, "... I beat that guy, once".
Well I mean Alex now unquestionably has the better resume here now. Jiri x2, Jan, izzy, Hill, strikland, I only wish we seen Rob vs Alex at 185 other than that he has dog walked every single person he's faced. I can't stand izzy but he at least made both fights competitive.
@@guilliman1990 I love Rob but in 25 minutes Alex probably nukes him at some point, Alex is the man, if he gets through a primary grappler which I think he can due to his strength then he is Him
@@JayS.-mm3qr lol why do people act like Izzy just started mocking Alex from the blue,,, Alex knocked Izzy out and Izzy went to MMA silently, started in another promotion then got into the UFC then while going uo the UFC ranks Poatan would post himself knocking Izzy out on Izzys stories as a way to say ure not that good then Izzy was asked about it and he said those remarks fast forward Alex was in Anderson Silvers corner in the Izzy fight hovering in the UFC then boom here we are 3-1 Alex is champ, Alex is the man but he trollz and he trolled 1st. The UFC is the top promotion Alex is a father and a fighter he didnt come for Izzy he came for greatness
Alex has reached legendary status. Been a real treat seeing him acheive what he has. He has literally become one the best, most frightening dudes we have ever seen. He is the perfect template for a fighter should be.
I completely agree, there has NEVER been a fighter like Poatan! He doesn’t have to Posture or talk shit, but when he walks into a room ALL the guys that “Thought” they were tough just sits down and shuts up! He has done so much in a shorter time frame than ANYONE ELSE!! He is the The Biggest Big Game Hunter than everyone else by far, and that comes from his Family and genetics he has as well as the Highest IQ in the Game! He is the smartest and Best fighter in the World! Other Champions don’t Do ANY FAVORS to the UFC by saving Cards Twice in 3 events, they fight once or MAYBE twice if it’s an easy opponent. We better enjoy the Work this man has done before he gives up the gloves! 🔥🔥🗿🗿CHAMA🗿🗿🔥🔥
@@ajcgpol I agree with that as well!! Fedor is the Greatest Heavyweight alive!! I like REAL Fighters that don’t have to talk bad about their opponents, nor do they have to talk good about themselves. Their Fighting Spirit and how they carry themselves says everything without them having to say anything!🗿🗿🔥CHAMA🔥🗿🗿
The ability to completely toy with and drop like a sack of potatoes in Jiri Prochazka, who he himself can take the lives of 99% of men on the planet with nothing but his hands, is impressive to say the least.
I think is still Anderson Silva. But Alex is going to take that from AS. To be real, I feel the same emotion seringa Alex that when I used to watch Silva.
Poatan is the closest thing to a real warrior there has ever been in the UFC, no whining no crying no stupid trash talk just KOs and a fearless attitude
I always catch myself saying "chama" all the time at work and home and people just look at me like wtf. Lol. Izzy woke a monster and came into the UFC and took everything he and others worked for. If Alex moves up and somehow beats Aspinall or Jones then he will have arguably the greatest story and career in MMA history. What worries me is this short memory tik tok era when and if Alex loses the belt and his aura goes away and people forget everything he's done, just like they're doing to Volk and other legends from the past
Volks not done. As stupid as he is for taking the Islam fight x2 he's not done he will be back anyone that thinks that the ilia fight wasn't stupid as it truly wasn't volk
The dude is different. He’s not the best ever, but he hasn’t been around long enough and is too old to make that case I think. But I think he’s the baddest man walking the earth right now. He doesn’t just win, or squeak out wins, he demolishes the guys that win. It’s incredible what he’s doing.
Too late to be the best ever? Nah man. He shows he’s getting better every fight. He’s still got a lot of life left in fighting, especially without him taking damage.
Wow!! You really made me think to myself. Indeed, its a great honor to be in this time. Its one of those rare occasions where you gotta be there to fully grasp the moment
That's a good definition. Pereira is going all in and hunting big game. He has made beating Jiri looks easy, but Jiri is a beast. He made Sean look like an amateur and Sean is excellent boxer. He made Hill look just silly. He fights very often, he fights to end fights, not for pointing, he goes for the champions.
His ability to make weight is the most under appreciated thing. To be able to fight under potentially 3 weight class is insane. Others are limitwd with their size at higher weights, some with lengths, some with heights, but he seems to be the same at middle weight and LHW. He will be the same at output when at HW. This is the best thing that works in his advantage
Why is Hall of Fame discussed? This is small Poatan is about to enter the UFC's top 5 in history in the next 2 fights If he gets +2 he is top 5. There is room to finish in 2nd place because it is not that difficult to pass GSP, Demetrius and Anderson What seems impossible is passing Jon Jones Names like USMAN, KHABIB, ADESANYA, ALDO have already been passed Poatan is going to get the others.
Poatan is an absolute amazing Fighter. The best part for me was to see his two sons hug him after the fight and he shows them what a great role model he is thanks Poatan for making LHW great again after JBJ.
I know it’s been said but, I can’t help but laugh when I think of Izzy mocking Alex “ when he’s old in a bar, he’ll say, I beat that guy once” . My how that story flipped on its heals. Haha
Alex is training w 2 former champs in Lyoto and Glover,on top of already being a double Champion kickboxer - plus he gets to train w the best fighters around. Why would anyone expect any less?
Izzys probably got one good fight in him but will have over Akex for ever. Whatever Alex does he won't change being slept by izzy for close to 3 mins and has to live with 3 "wins" where he had to get saved by bell and most embarrassingly the ref saving him
You're right, it is his age that makes this so damn insane. He's soooo much better than when he got here in 21 and it's only looking up. This dude really is just a different beast.
Poatan is a prodigy who started his martial arts career late and yet is a double champion in the two best fight promotions on the planet. I hope his children have picked up enough genetics from him to be even better than their father.
You make a great point about how unique the Pereira situation is. How weird it is that at 35+, he is suddenly the biggest star in the game. It's one thing to be this promising rising star. But as you say, 10 years ago, he was just some average fighter. Now he is doing things in the ufc that no one has done. Where did that come from!?
@@henry247 yeah, 10 years ago. The video talks about Alex fight with Levin in 2014, a fight that he lost. Pereira's record at the time was 10-3. So yeah, on that night, he was perceived as an ok, almost 27 year old fighter, who just lost.
Conor had a amazing run, but he quickly turned himself in what he used to criticise in others. It's always good to remember that he never defended a belt, he won 4 and 0 defenses... Alex is a brave man, does not hold back and take risks.
@TheCeembee I'd honestly give Izzy credit if he or would beat him at LHW. That 20 lb difference to MW drained Alex and his ability to take a shot. It's also hard to give Izzy credit with the shit he says and does. Also not a fan of him getting another title shot after just losing the belt to Strickland and getting schooled by him and dropped
Craziest part about that win is Alex was seconds away from finishing that fight. I think his hatred for Izzy clouded his judgment & uncharacteristically rushed in for the finish & got caught. Izzy stumbled against the fence, left leg already chewed to bits & dazed ... and Alex just rushed the finish. And got badly slept.
Something should be said about his ability to connect with the people as well. He’s at an American lake right now, mobbed by American teenagers, all screaming CHAMA! and saying he’s the greatest. And he doesn’t even speak english lol It’s like Mike Tyson said: “Greatness is not guarding yourself from the people; greatness is being accepted by the people.” And I think we are witnessing something special here. Mark my words, Alex Pereira will become the world’s first 3 division Champion in MMA.
Dude legit looks like the old SEG era UFC mascot logo. He is the living embodiment of it. Dude a real life video game character reincarnation of Sagat Petchyindee.
technically in fighting terms hes in his prime 36-(37), fighters can take care of there bodies better then ever , late 30s is possible now more consistently, randy couture was a trailblazer for maintaining performance 15-20 years ago nutrition & supplements can extend that prime for a focused fighter , power is the last to go , Alex is already a legend and has that aura , that promotes fear
MMA fans doesn’t really give him credit over the mental edge he has over basically every single fighter. The Amazonian heritage, the mystique about him, his walk out and his music. Jiri was talking about him using black magic, he lost right there and then. Even Aspinall was “intimidated” by him when they were on the same card, claiming that he thinks Alex is convinced he can beat him. Dude is an absolute savant like we have never seen before. The look on Jamahal Hills face before they touch gloves is hilarious, you could tell how intimidated he was. He fucked up with the trash talk. His mental edge is the sole reason I give him a chance vs Aspinall or Jones. People who compare Poatan and Gane truly does not know what Poatan is.
He's the ultra chad, he's the man, and to me, he's the best ever. Just the way he carries himself is truly inspirational. Besides being an absolute fucking killer, you just know he is a great guy with good values. A true professional in literally every sense.
Your comment about Poatan not being the best on resume but having the ability to show up on the big moments made me think about Brady. Also the ability to improve while is ageing.
Really Great Luke but and its a big But, Dana says that Jon Jones is the best, the Goat, the top dog in Combat Sport ... I agree with you to be fair Alex is looking great
Yeah, i was a bit skeptical even after he beat Israel.... and then very skeptical after he then lost to Israel but Jesus Christ lol.... he just seems to have taken it in his stride and levelled up. Pretty cool really.
All props to Poatan, he is a warrior of another level. Among his many attributes, it's his daring mindset and confidence that stands out for me.. I'll love him more for his skills if he was put against a challenging fighter to be tested (unfortunately his competition is limited). It's worth noting the heavier weight classes these days at the top ranks has fighting styles that offers not much opposition against his style.. the talents had been in decline of late. Poatan entered the scene at very favorable conditions for his type of game.. he is much needed injection of energy & interest in those ranks, so more power to him.
Most guys and girls once take the belt want to go off the radar for 8-12 months so the can film commercials and earn some easy cash doing seminars. Alex is a true warrior.
![Pereira's path to the heavyweight title + Chandler-McGregor outlook [FULL SHOW] | Good Guy / Bad Guy](/img/1.gif)

This! 👊🏻
We all do brother 🙌🗿🔥
HW grapplers will be a nightmare for him. Blaydes, Aspinwall, Jones, would all eat his lunch most likely

One of the best commentaries I have ever seen, since UFC I in 1993 (y)
Poatan vs Aspinal: That's the only matchup for those two worthy of them.
I would rather see Alex vs Jones first
Jon Jones of its offered.
Jones doesn’t need Pereira. Or Aspinal.
But Aspinal needs a big name for his resume and Pereira needs another serious challenge.
Jones doesn't deserve it. I do t care what he's done hes a drug cheat an a shit person Tim is far more deserved of the Alex fight
agree
Izzy even said himself "he is a special human being" and I truly believe it
in my opinion Alex 'Poatan' Pereira is the greatest stand up fighter the sport has ever seen! Power, Precision and very High IQ!

Crazy how Izzy may become a side note to the Poatan Pereira story
Alex is the greatest combat sport athlete ever and top 5 UFC by retirement
Poatan is the evolution of Marcos Ruas.
Really Great Luke but and its a big But, Dana says that Jon Jones is the best, the Goat, the top dog in Combat Sport ...
I agree with you to be fair Alex is looking great
Not to mention that poatan only started martial arts at 22 years old!! Dude that is old to start martial arts!!
Childhood alcoholism and a coach, mentor & friend that won the LHW title at 42.
Every time he steps in that cage he’s facing down time & rock bottom.
Yeah, i was a bit skeptical even after he beat Israel.... and then very skeptical after he then lost to Israel but Jesus Christ lol.... he just seems to have taken it in his stride and levelled up.
Pretty cool really.
All props to Poatan, he is a warrior of another level. Among his many attributes, it's his daring mindset and confidence that stands out for me.. I'll love him more for his skills if he was put against a challenging fighter to be tested (unfortunately his competition is limited).
It's worth noting the heavier weight classes these days at the top ranks has fighting styles that offers not much opposition against his style.. the talents had been in decline of late. Poatan entered the scene at very favorable conditions for his type of game.. he is much needed injection of energy & interest in those ranks, so more power to him.
I don't the idea of he'snt got the resume of lightheavywight. He is building it right now .
Hey, Luke I appreciate you videos. Is there any chance you can put time stamps on your videos?
its not alex nor his left hook that KOed Jiri, his AURA did !!! his fucking CHAKRA!
I would love to see Alex vs prime Anderson Silva and prime Yoel Romero. Imagine that!
Anderson has sparred him and Alex was in Anderson's corner when he fought Izzy.
Guy is impossible not to like. Idc that he doesn’t speak English. He’s box office in every way
Most guys and girls once take the belt want to go off the radar for 8-12 months so the can film commercials and earn some easy cash doing seminars. Alex is a true warrior.
Alex is my favorite fighter.
My and Alex have very similar fighting style
