Alex Pereira was a rubber worker in São Paulo, he had to repair heavy truck tires with a sledgehammer, he had to generate a lot of force in a small space and I'm sure that contributed a lot to his punching power.
Ngannou used to work in the sand mines of Cameroon which must have translated into his punching power. Child labour produces crazy strength
@@BenT800 too bad its frowned upon huh - think of the fighters we're missing out on ...
@@jrey6186😂😂
@jrey6186 all these years who knew Mugatu was on to something...
Hitting a tire with a sledgehammer is far better than lifting weights for punching power.
Probably the craziest example of Pereiras dynamite Left Hook. Incredible speed and power.
It looks pretty short, too. Did not expect a knockout from that, wow.
Bayrak KO was the craziest imo.
Its the technique powering the strike. All that torque
BRAZUKA DANGEROUS
Strickland was a good one too. That left hook was picture perfect on Sean and just ended him damn near instantly.
One of the most beautiful KO’s on Alex’s career. Literal poetry in motion.
Prostrate syndrome
there are great knockouts from Alex in Glory kickboxing
The crack of the punch and instant KO is beautiful. He was out cold for a solid 2-3 minutes. Deadly power.

Sean Strickland talked about how painful it was to take a shot from him. Insane power.
Says a lot about izzy to take the immediate rematch and going into the fire knowing more than anybody how dangerous this dude is
@@salvador6356Izzy deserved an extra belt for putting Alex to sleep. Alex looked almost a weight class above and moved pretty quick and landed shattering leg kicks plus those nukes in his hands.izzy looked half his size to be honest.

@@Morpheus_neo_trinity3-1
One of the cleanest knockouts I've ever seen.
shit is scary
Ever ever? Ever ever? 🤔
Its not even clean. Its disgusting lol
Scariest might be the sleep paralysis that he gave Izzy in their second fight
yeah
I see Pereira recreating the same exact sequence against hill next saturday. Hill loves to drop that gaurd
You were right
Damn you were right, there wasn’t a high kick but the left punch was very similar
No it wasn't. Y'all are capping lol. He dropped Hill with a left "uppercut" then ko'd him via ground n pound.
@@iketurner8212 I agree anyone could have guess if there was going to be any sort of knockdown it would come from a left hookish shot buy hey im not one to stop some glazing lol
That was a pretty close prediction Mr.Nostradamus.
Powell said he has nothing to lose. Except consciousness.
Or his life…
hahahaa !
😂😂😂😂 don't do him like that! 😂😂😂😂
Quase perdeu a vida
He'll never lose consciousness. But consciousness can lose its body-brain connection, for sure. lol
Very rare to see a knockout like that with a single hook. Alex has scary power he’s really a freak of nature
Freak
The opponent had already been kicked on the other side of the head, our brain shuts down so as not to cause major damage.
poatan means "stone hand" in the tupi (indian tribe) language
No need to try and discredit his power.
That kick was blocked nicely.
The left hook landed flush@@matiasouza
@@matiasouzawhat I’m saying it Alex did it as he was backing up and it was only a check hook, but he has that much power that it not only knocked out his opponent but he slept him baaaaad. Usually only see knockouts like that from a clean kick
His power is crazy. It doesn't even look like a hard swing but then it hits like a truck.
exactly. I don't get it. doesn't look different than left hooks that get shrugged off. almost casual.
He's HUGE. His fist is bigger and he has denser bones. You cannot appreciate just how big he is until you see him in real life.@@mejohn101
@@mejohn101it’s the torque from the hips
It is not power it's insane technique
I love poatan
Alex had his interview and everything and the powell was still out cold 🥶
Perreira is the scariest fighter i've ever seen!
Powell was frozen for minutes. Hope he's fine
Even when Pereira leaves the cage, Powell still on the floor...wow that was scary
That is scary. It sucked the excitement out of the whole place.
he was out for 5 min! That is how scary the guy is..
@@MrIsaacSTorres8 minutes actually
@@MrIsaacSTorres 8 minutes
that's brain damage, he almost turned him into a vegetable🤧
Alex was stalking the poor guy like Jason Voorhees.
It blows my mind how Alex can throw head kicks without moving the rest of his body.
He’s built different
I can just about do it to the chest level. But it really hurts the hip joints.
He has a technique he calls “shortcut kicks” Where he turns the angle of the front foot to preload so he can throw without a step or telegraph
very good flexibility/balance and long ass legs
Alex stays on his toes to avoid injury and deliver a powerful kick. The result of a well-executed kick is in the technique. Marreta had strength but no technique, today he has several injuries and cannot use all his strength.
That feint left hook to open the defense is a thing of beauty.
Announces winner with dude still passed out cold is crazy.
Nah they waited for him to wake up. Took a little over 5 minutes I think, he was out for a long ass time
@@RayFuryit took 8 minutes, they didn't waited. you can see him still on the floor when alex leaves
@@hpu81 Yeah but they waited there for the 8 minutes and left when he started moving and waking up.
Not really saying Alex looks bad here or anything, but you can really tell just how much Alex has improved in MMA from here to now, despite this not being THAT long ago.
@FlakBoxing it was convincing, but against a relative nobody. Contrast this to being able to fend off Jan at 205 in the wrestling and grappling department. He looks much more clean and disciplined now, is all I'm saying.
there were multiple grappling exchanges what are you talking about? There was one clinch against the cage and even though thomas couldn't do anything he still struggled escaping.@FlakBoxing
Clown.
Agreed - I noticed he made amateur moves like his spinning kick that left him vulnerable for a takedown. The other guy's only chance was grappling and even said it himself before the fight, so Alex almost gave him a gift there, but Powell didn't have what it took anyways. Alex became more conservative once he got to the UFC (good thing).
His specialty is his adaptability. He's one of the most adaptive fighters, he's learning all the time. If you follow his career he is almost always much better in rematches, he always makes good adjustments, always corrects mistakes. He came to the combat sport at only 21 and became the best, at 34 he came to another sport, adapted and again he is at the very top. It wouldn't surprise me if he starts wrestling at a good level or becomes a champion in the 3 weight class.
Sometimes I think of being a mma fighter then I see this and change my mind
There's also shin break while getting checked, yeah not worth it man.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bro I felt bad for Powell this whole fight. That man didn’t deserve that. Hope they paid him well.
Ya, right from the start. front kick to the guts was the end.
Mano é uma honra passar pela mão esquerda do Pereira, só do fato em dizer que já lutou contra esse monstro janta tá no lucro 😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂
Probably got paid 20k max

@@MatadorTheGreat20k?😂 dude probably got paid 17 bucks a Gatorade and a pack of mint gum 😂😂😂
That left hook is so amazing. It doesn't even look that powerful the way he seems to barely move his arm but damn.
Bro got announced as winner and talked with his team and left and Powell was still sleep unbelievable 🇧🇷🦍🔥
😅😅😅😂😂😂😂
I never seen them keep a knocked out person face down like that. Flip him over bruh
The punch that you never expected or anticipated is the one that puts your lights out. Pereira is not just pure power, surely he has insane power he is a very big guy, but one thing that stands out is how talented this guy is and that is a showcase of talent. Perfect technique at the perfect time, surely gets the job done.
The replay at 5:42 illustrates the feint perfectly; Powell reacts and Pereira's left hook follows. The power of feinting, and establishing patterns in an opponent's behavior.
Trop fort Pereira.👍
Yep and it doesn’t look like his opponent saw the hook coming. Part of the reason it was so devastating!
Fuck… he feinted for the block and counter opening. ❤🔥
"establishing patterns in an opponent's behavior". Great phrase!
For knockouts it tends to be the blows the opponent doesn’t see coming that does them in
Poder - Precisão - Timing
Simplesmente assustador!
Chama 🔥🔥🔥
Porrada
Espero que pegue o Jiri em um nocaute bizarro tbm🎉
@@jn7848vim do futuro pra dizer que foram dois KO’s no Jiri
For those who don’t know, Powell was out for a good 5-6 minutes after that left hook from Alex.
He also ko jiri with his left hook. His power is different
How do u know?
Considering how short that left hook was that is craaaazyyyy
@@damienoptc7222he more KO’d Jiri w elbows to the side of the head the left hook dropped him tho
@@kingt0295jiri 😂
Take note of that beautiful split second feint on that left hook, it's very easy to miss but he makes his combo off rhythm by not firing his left hook IMMEDIATELY after the kick lands. Straight after the headkick Powell puts his guard up on his right side as Poatan feints the left hook, leading Powell a split second later to walk directly into the ACTUAL committed left hook. Fuckin beautiful knockout.
Good explanation
I did see that too. Perfect!
Not enough people talk about this, it’s so subtle but had he not feinted it wouldn’t of had the same effect.
Genius. I’m gonna try this in sparring but with less power
Perfect example of state of the art striking
celebrated , watched replay, waited for official decision, left the octagon, and bro was still sleep😂😂😂😂😂
its scary
Most likely he regain conciousness only 4 hours later.
Imagine throwing a punch, and then you wake up in the hospital
Scary af
I heard they sent him home with the luggage.
Alex was already watching the replay at home when the guy woke up 😮😮😮
Not fair
Poatan é simplesmente fenomenal !! Marreta na mão esquerda, ele foi forjado em uma borracharia em SP com consertos de pneus de caminhões...😂
Having a physique isnt going to save you against Pereira 😂
It's not a body building contest.
😂😂😂😂
Doesn't take much psi to the face to put someone to sleep. I guess the rule is to try and accomplish that first.
no, it is a body contest though@@tadficuscactus
yehhh@@tadficuscactus
I thought he may have unalived him man. He was legit stone cold out for 5 minutes. Brutal man. Never a more fitting nickname.
This was a murder. Talk about a mismatch my goodness
Even the commentators were anxious
Grappler vs striker
@@viceroybear6298striker vs burger flipper
Murderous left hook larry
He's got to be the scariest dude in the history of MMA. One of the greatest too. Alex Pereira is my absolute favorite MMA fighter to ever do it. I wish him all the best for the rest of his career.
Alex já tava em casa vendo o replay da luta quando o Powell acordou kkk
Kkkkkkkkkzzzzzz
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk... essa foi boa.
Qual é cara .. 😂😂😂
O Poatan saiu do UFC?
@@leonmenezes8491não
mans left the octagon and the guy is still laying on the ground unconscious fucking hell
Damn that was one of the scariest ko's ever
Unbelievable left hook. Pretty much as clean as it gets. Hard to watch him drop like that, I barely saw what hit him at first. LFA's show looks great.
You just felt bad for Powell, those punches from Pereira are something else.
I'm truly happy we all get to watch this man fight in combat sports 👊
Agree! I was thinking about that. We can see an athlete doing his best, but this man could still be repairing tires in another destiny.
Alex is a beast!! His power is just insane i hope he stays at light heavyweight it’s definitely a good spot for him and soon i hope he goes to heavyweight cause he just massively tall
What? 193 cm LHW standart height.
@@MsLukasrodriguez thanks for letting me know 😄 I’m not sure what 193 cm is but I’m guessing he ranges somewhere in the 6’ area still pretty tall though thats for sure
193 cm is the height of Pereira, Prochazko, Smith, Reyes, Rakič and most of the LHW fighters in the UFC.
@@MsLukasrodriguez got it 😎
jiri is 190cm reyes is 194/195 same with pereira smith is 190cm and rakic is 193 thats the real heights@@MsLukasrodriguez
This guy is something else. The fact that he was moving back while he knocked him out with a seemingly effortless hook is insane btw. Generating power while moving back is very difficult let alone enough to knock someone out.
One of the scariest KOs i have ever seen🗿

Estou congelado, já havia visto este nocaute do Poatan, mas agora revendo com calma, percebo o quão brutal isto foi, realmente a preocupação minha com Powell foi muito grande...Merda ele não estava acordando. Muito sinistro mesmo, espero que ele tenha se recuperado sem sequelas.
Como o amigo do outro comentário disse, a gente meio que se sente mal pelo coitado do Powell kkkkk Espero que tenha sido pago bem
Sequelas? O que causa sequelas são socos atrás de socos. Não um baita soco que te apaga. A força chacoalha o cérebro e ele desliga, mas não deixa pequenas lesões mais que 200 socos levados em lutas e sparrings. O perigo do boxe não são os nocautes sofridos, mas os milhares de socos que vão sendo levado durante anos.
The whipping sound his left hook makes is just nasty. Absolutely disgusting
He generates enourmous amounts of power in such a short distance. It's honesty so impressive.
Pereira KOd Powell, Doctor rushes Powell still asleep. Official announcement for the winner Powell still asleep, Pereira left the octagon and Powell still asleep. Scary knockout power.
he has one of the most lethal weapon across combat sports but you'll never catch him bragging about it
This shows how much better UFC fighters are and why Pereira now is in UFC and became champion so fast. They are on a whole other level
This shows the difference in the level of striking between real world class strikers and every mma fighter, ufc or not.
@@AntiZionistsEatShit Yeah, but in order to be in the UFC, you need to have SOMETHING special, and they are all on a higher level. Otherwise whats the point of it. Always nice to see newcomers or current guys become better and better, cheering for them, see them lose or win, the atmosphere, they hype, trash talk, UFC is awesome. But did you mean that Izzy isnt a world class Striker? To me he is
@@kxvxn01 Adesanya is a world class striker and that bolsters my point. One of the best strikers in mma lost to Poatan 3 times and couldn't come close to accomplishing what he did at the highest level of kickboxing. There are a few great strikers in mma but there are still levels to this and Poatan is the highest level.
@@AntiZionistsEatShit cream of the crop always come to top
O cara é um espetáculo de lutador, perceba no chute e depois no cruzado que a cabeça do Poatan nem se movimenta, é muita potência cê tá doido.
Mando p moreno para o Jardim da infância lkk me acorde amanhã as 7:00 kkkkkkk
Monstro. Agora duplo campeão!
O negão sobreviveu?
kkkkkk
That high right kick to set up the left was a work of art
That hook took the soul out of Powell. They had to shut all the doors and beg it to get back in his body.
So corny
Alex's left hook is an opponents worst nightmare. He's taken several fighters out with that one punch
Best left hook in the game
This left hook should be banned or Alex could use it once in the fight, I'm a doctor and this can cause a lot of damage , Alex is a psychopath shouldn't be in the sport
@@Brunin33wtf you talking about ? It a lead hook. Fkn casual
cala a sua boca
When it's quiet like that, you can hear how hard Alex is hitting & kicking, and how much pain he brings.
Nocaute incrível, Alex é excelente na trocação.
Porra
Dropped him like he hit him with a rock. That's a well practiced move. I been watching him set that left hook up all day. Binge watching him knock people out.
that punch looks like only about 40% lol
Watch how he loads his hips, like a corkscrew. Thats where the power is generated.
Crazy how that's the very part of the video I heard right when reading this comment lol
Dude was still asleep when Poatan left the octagon lmao
"Right hook hospital, left hook cemetery" probably Alex Pereira when he learns to speak english 😂
Você inverteu as coisas, ele usa a grande maioria o gancho de esquerda onde acontece vários dos nocautes dele, quando ele usa direto de direita a pessoa fica desacordada durante muito tempo
The nastiest left hook ko in history
0:43 did he say leg kick to the head 😂
3:59 - 4:00. 4 punches in less than a second! the fluidity , the power and the range of the combo fascinates me the most.
God gifted him that left hook.
Isso é hilário!
Alex
Assisto de Moçambique 🇲🇿
flawless victory for pereira🥊💯
I feel bad for Powell. He was out for a minute. When I watched this live I thought he died.
😢😂😂😂
😢poor powel
A min is too less
Shitt the way his ass sleep would’ve thought the exact same shit.
He was out for a litle more than 5 minutes actually.
Perfection !
The faint just before to create a dead angle, the shot that you don't see will knock you out
Perfect technique, perfect power, perfect speed and precision. Powell went out immediatly, incredible !
Blah blah blah... We're not blind dude.
@@JohnnySipDrip Sorry, i wrote my comment for blind people only
@@kennykent5336niiice
Commentary is wild. Dude literally said "Bull whip" and "watch how he loads his hips" 127 times. Holy shit bro. Ok 😂😂😂
It kept replaying.
4:05 That head kick started it, and rocked powell a lot more than it looked. Right after the headkick, he stumbles and plods for a second.
Headshot kill
4:07 alex makes a read that powell rushed in after the head kick so he knew to throw it again and follow with the left 💯
5 minutes fighting, 8 minutes sleeping. Thats crazy.
the absolute irony on Powell wearing a bigass Vital Performance ad on his shorts and almost dying at this performance
He barely let that left go. Such power
The punch comes from the tip of the toe, the energy has been accumulating and this absurd shot comes out 👏🏼
That’d be crazy to wake up from a bad KO and the entire crowd already left the building
this makes sense what Joe Rogan said: alex pereira he sends his opponents to another dimension.😂😂
Alex is a heavyweight cutting to middleweight, powell looks like a welterweight beefing up to middleweight the matchmaker’s had a field day with this one💀
I can see a probability of this same knockout happening again against Khalil Rountree.
Lol yes man, open stance and Pereira hasn't even shown his full arsenal yet in the UFC like he has here and his Glory fights
just cause hes black? wow
@@noble6441exactly
That might be the best left hook in combat sports, that was cold 🥶🥶🥶
This dudes left hook is the death touch
1 punch man
Some say Powell is still asleep until this day
Poor kid had no idea he was fighting a new era champion xD
Hope he sparks Jiri like this.
To určite ne tohle bude válka kamaráde nás Jirka mu to jen tak neda🇨🇿
Almost
Nope 😂
Lead left hook man.. that's honestly one of the most incredible knockouts I've ever seen. Definition of surgical strike.
Now that Alex is knocking out top ranked light heavyweights like it’s nothing…it kinda makes this look unfair…
Powell fought at 170 and 185…
Don’t start with that bs he’s in his weight class simple just get better
Best left hook in the business
I can't believe they announced him as the winner when the guy was still on the ground
They knew he wasn't waking up anytime soon.
Maestro Alex. Virtuoso technique by the Maestro.
best striker EVER in mma
É impressionante como Poatan consegue por força em movimento curto.
Ref was checking his pulse bruh 😂
O Alex é realmente inteligente ele deu o chute já sabendo que o cara iria bloquear mas plano era soltar o soco certeiro
Exatamente! Tem video dele no youtube explicando como ele usa o chute, ou joelhada, p carregar o cruzado.
Esse cruzado de esquerda do Poatan é o verdadeiro toque da morte, cê é doido!!!
I’m just wondering if anyone knows where the power is generated?
Also did it kinda resemble a corkscrew or bull whip?!
Right! How bout one more time...
I may have heard that somewhere before
That powers all in the hips and shoulder
To throw any powerful strike first it starts in your footwork. For example a lead left hook like what Alex here likes you would first wind your hips up slightly left then, turn in your right knee and foot slightly to the right, creating tension between the knee and hips and planting yourself firmly in the ground this creates the corkscrew/bullwhip effect mentioned, as you release the corkscrew, you rotate the shoulder over and the 2 motions compound to generate power, this is the key. There are lots of ways to compound momentum to generate extra power. To hit someone with out using your legs and hips is to just hit them with your arm, what Alex does so well is he hits people with his entire body consistently, its very hard to hit that hard with a technical approach in competition, its unique to him a few others like Fizzy. Hope i helped a bit gl.
Also, pihp.
Dang he sent Powell to the spirit realm to meet his ancestors for a minute 🏹🎯😱😱😱
@0:11 why did he walk back to his corner looking like he already disappointed himself? haha..
Realization set in
Pra quem não fala português o poatan ficou preocupado com o powel pela demora dele acordar os treinadores deles falam pra ele manter a calma que vai dar tudo certo tipo o powel vai ficar bem.
