After this weekend, he will have had 5 ufc fights in 14 months. That is insane. This is how professional fighting use to be-both in boxing and mma. This is why Alex is beloved.
@@allensmith1537ufc 300 where they were struggling to make big fights to hype up the event and he stepped up and ufc 303 where conor was meant to fight but pulled out last minute and alex stepped in to have a title fight on the card otherwise the card would have been terrible without mcgregor
Tbh he is also enjoying fighting a lot now because he isn’t getting any younger. But it’s still crazy that he is just fighting former champions on short notice…TWICE. AND NOT ITS FOR THE BELT.
The most underrated part of Alex's story/career is the tail end of his kickboxing career. The people he beat around that time were also world class champions. All of those fighters have hunderds of wins and KO's combined, and he knocked most of the spark out. He is already one of the greates kickboxers of our era and now he is also a champion in multiple weight divisions in the UFC. This guy might be the GOAT of martial arts in general if he keeps on going like this.
Man bro no lie. Alex discipline is what is crazy to me. For him to go from 230 to 180 and not look drained just tells how honed in he is on his craft. He kinda a rendition of the older fighters before the game and million dollar payouts. Dude is a 🐐 fasho
And iust the other day, he pulled over on the side of the road and helped a random lady change a tire! That was SUPER nice, tires were his former occupation, and he was probably instantly concerned about her, and had to help. Dude's a HERO!
Suga Shane is D Bag....He looks like he's going to be a cool, kind of surfer type with a "Good Vibes" attitude. His fighting style is exciting and you get hyped about him. ANd then he opens his mouth and he's....Machine Gun Kelly level of D Bag.
Alex Pereira is very disciplined and that's what makes him a star and he's very humble tj this is a great video I was sub to u since ur tank and Ryan break down
what makes alex different is that he’s one of the few that is truly “active.” he keeps it rolling, never allowing himself to become dull. ntm he has a touch of death that keeps anyone watching his fights on the edge of their seats. he’s respectful and has a strong sense of self/moral compass. dude’s an all-around stud that deserves the praise he gets.
Alex and jiri’s 2nd fight will be an absolute WAR tomorrow Post fight reaction: poatan KO was the highlight of the night man, CHAMAAAA 2nd edit: Wished it lasted longer than 2 rounds man, but hats off to them for stepping in this late
I used to think this was a disadvantage, but not speaking English actually helps Alex. You never sound cringe when you have a translator. He literally lets his fighting speak for him
It’s funny too because at first ufc only wanted to use him to boost Izzy and didn’t see his potential. I mean he’s one of the only fighters that had me watching fight clips of them out of the UFC, he always had something different about him. It’s the mix of activity and finishes that made him a star so fast. Also helped him that Izzy became disliked, so he gained tons of support immediately.
Fighters can still be champions in divisions 185 and above due to the lower skill level, which means strength and power become more determining factors in fights.
I really hope this doesn't' age poorly. Everyone just assumes Jiri loses despite giving a very good performance last time which is making me think jiri might just win.
Conor is genuinely being himself. An irish guy having a craic. Alex being himself. I dont think him being indigenous is a gimmick and his shaman ritual is a sham. He is truly being hinself. And jiri is ehat he says himself to be although he seems kinda autistic but its more so because of the language barrier i guess like Islam Makhachev. He isnt entertaining tho. He has no charisma as Alex. Alex is super chill dude and he got the whole thing down to define his authentic self.
His Izzy storyline was already crazy but let´s keep in mind that he is also a friend, fan and pupil with Glover Teixeira. Once he was done with all the Izzy fuzz he got the Glover avenger mantle beating Jamahall, and now with Jiri and the whole Pataxó Warrior vs Samurai and magic thing going, it´s like the dude keeps pulling storylines out of thin air. I love Poatan but he is already a living legend, I really hope tomorrow Jiri gets the W in order to have a trilogy. And what the hell, let Alex take over Heavyweight before he quits. He has the aura.
So on your last poll about who was the face of the ufc I said nobody and I disqualified Alex because I thought due to the language barrier he'd never draw like Connor well in less then 7 hours his ko of jiri has well over 1mil views and counting so I'm gonna say ok I was wrong he proving he don't need English to prove he's the best out there right now at 205 in general he's easily the best the ufc has to offer both entertainment and personality wise as despite not speaking English he's pretty marketable 👍.
ALEX PEREIRA BROKE THE "Tjlovesfights curse" (The curse is about that TJ uploads a video about a theme, then said video shortly after doesnt age very well)
Poatan é a personificação da guerra diária de cada brasileiro e de cada pessoa que luta para sobreviver em um mundo cruel, para muitos um vilão, para nós brasileiros o nosso verdadeiro Heróis!!! um forte abraço a todos e muito obrigado pelo carinho com o nosso irmão Alex .
Islam is the face of the UFC, he has the most followers right behind Conor, and is the 1 P4P, and all of his recent fights are absolute classics. If u choosing Alex it’s just because he was in 300 and 303 which are big cards
Wdym, he was outstruck by Makhachev due to the grappling threat, not pure boxing, the real example could be the one about the gatekeepers of 155. Also a loss doesn't mean you lose your star power, as said in the video.
@@ArseneBorz Islam is simply a better striker then Dustin, Dustin is just a better boxer, Islam has great kicks. And if Alex loses he isn't the face anymore, nothing to do with star power
@@JimMcmiller637 Yeah, dudes like 36, Alex can't afford to lose again, especially by ko/tko or any other huge damage, that's no going back for Alex. it either makes or breaks Alex. It's funny that Alex and Jones are the same age, but Jones is out here talking like he's pushing 40, and fighting old man stipe, while Alex is fighting the best fight fighters in his division on short notice.
@@krypticbeast9152 i'd say maintain or break. I don't think beating Jiri does much since he has done it already, unless he literally flatlines him because Jiri has a great chin
after his 2nd win against jiri, i wanna see him actually move up to heavyweight and face off against the explosive tom aspinal. someone who can strike and graple. he hasnt really faced much challenge in grappling so that might be a fun challenge for him.
Some other things that we don't mention about Pereira is that he has his own catch phrase which is easy to pronounce for any human being that speaks any language. Chama! And how that's essentially the only comprehensible thing he says if you don't speak Portuguese makes it also even more memorable. I think if he spoke English he'd have somehow ruined his chances of sounding and looking like the stoic Easter island head that he is. Alex will always be beloved. He's already beloved by hardcore Kickboxing and Muay Thai fans.
Fr he didnt even mention him. But to be fair Id put alex above Islam for face of league anyway. Its arguable but only because he's a a fight more active every year and how much fans love him. Im more of an Islam fan tho fs.
Alex loss to Israel because of his dramatic weight loss in a short period of time which makes one weak which is not really healthy/ But I believe he is the FACE of the UFC. Alex doesn't have to have fought a lot of fighters to be Top 3 All-Time/ He Just have to fight the right guys in his division: Which he did: Israel, Jan, Jiri & Jamal/ With that Indian showstopper walk-out. With his cool, calm & laid back demeanor.
There will be a face of MMA in a few years,he will not be from the US but will speak perfect english,he will wear a head band most of the time and will be unlike anything you have seen mark my words its just a matter of time
@pedrod854 Alex is one of the best fighters hands down.. he's not a talker tho.. dude literally has an interpreter.. anyways, I'll stop talking about your crush, since you're getting all butt hurt & shit..
@JJD290 omg, you're right.. over the top, sensationalized trash talking has never been a part of the UFC.. #conormcgregor #chaelsonnen #rondarousey #natediaz #brocklesnar #colbycovington #rampagejackson #masvidal & so on & so forth
@@knosismercury never said it wasn’t But saying that Alex can’t be a star because he doesnt talk is entirely bs. Charles Olivera during majority of his title run couldn’t speak English but was easily one for the most hyped fighters during that time. If you think being a star is just trash talking or talking in general why is a dude like paddy a star?
He means actually black magic and alex hasnt denyed it and just "he got his spirits I got mine". Alex defo does black magic from shamism and his bbj coach is a freemason
Alex’s UFC career is overhyped, and has been made easy for him. Prior to his Izzy fight he didn’t really fight anyone good..they were tailored fights..no grapplers…he then got fast tracked to the Izzy fight (he didn’t have to earn it) he fought Izzy someone who he’s fought before in a different sport and he got beat up and luckily one in the last seconds. The ref called the fight and Izzy wasn’t even knocked out nor did he ever go to the ground and he looked up right away…. Izzy then rematches him a starched him in the 2nd round taking his lights out Alex then moved to the worst division in the ufc it is literally full lot fake champs and bums. He beats Jan who is a fake champ and also a bum (Jan got a fake belt then defended it against a middle weight 😂) Alex then defends his belt from jiri who I am starting to believe is overrated when you look at his career and the fights he has had. Then he fights Jamal hill 🙄 Then he fights jiri again! 🙄 Nothing about his career is of him fighting up the ranks and earning his spot and fighting the best of the best or challenging opponents.
Sure, he got favorable matchups at MW, but the fact that he beat 2 champs in Strickland and Izzy shows that he was an elite fighter in that respective weight class. He didn’t get “beat up” by Izzy in their first fight, it was a competitive fight. Jan was a difficult matchup and Ankalaev’s going to be an even more difficult matchup due to his high level wrestling.
@@Triumphantchild favorable match ups plus getting fast track to fight someone he has already beat in a different sport 3 times…how is that not a road paved in gold. Strickland wasn’t a champ when Alex beat him. All of the light heavyweight champs are jokes. There’s many fighters with an impressive career. I just think Alex’s career has glaring holes in it. Kind of like khabibs. Glaring hole in comparison to what he is being called “goat”
@@user-gj8bk3zl1f that the effing point he hasn’t been in the UFC long and was fast tracked to a title shot with favorable matchups. Imagine if he had to do what everybody me else did. Go through 4-6 fights before you’re even ranked, fight stand up guys and grapplers…. Maybe if he had a grappler or two that beat him it takes him more fights to be ranked…then he has to fight his way up to a higher ranking…
I don't want to be that guy again but. With the fight tomorrow and with the "TJlovesfights" curse. And with this video about pereira. Bet that jiri will win, and if that doesnt happen. Then the curse is broken
If we talk strictly inside the U.S yeah Pereira may be the face of the UFC, but globally Makhachev is the face of the UFC having huge fan bases from Africa, Europe, Middle East, South Asia and South East Asia. Idk why the Amercians are that ignorant of Islam's stardom.

True
If any normal person got hit in the head like Jiri they would be way more crazy. Goes to show his mental toughness
After this weekend, he will have had 5 ufc fights in 14 months. That is insane.
This is how professional fighting use to be-both in boxing and mma. This is why Alex is beloved.
Exactly. Fighters should be fighting 3-4times a year. Unless they've taken an abnormal amount of damage
Not only is he fighting a lot, he single handedly saved 2 massive events recently.

@@user-gj8bk3zl1f that the effing point he hasn’t been in the UFC long and was fast tracked to a title shot with favorable matchups. Imagine if he had to do what everybody me else did. Go through 4-6 fights before you’re even ranked, fight stand up guys and grapplers…. Maybe if he had a grappler or two that beat him it takes him more fights to be ranked…then he has to fight his way up to a higher ranking…
r u a ftm transgender?
This the new baby head
I don't want to be that guy again but. With the fight tomorrow and with the "TJlovesfights" curse. And with this video about pereira. Bet that jiri will win, and if that doesnt happen. Then the curse is broken
If we talk strictly inside the U.S yeah Pereira may be the face of the UFC, but globally Makhachev is the face of the UFC having huge fan bases from Africa, Europe, Middle East, South Asia and South East Asia. Idk why the Amercians are that ignorant of Islam's stardom.
Cool
