Izzy not being able to get the LHW belt is the biggest motivation for pereira

[@beaualoevv]

izzy fought everyone in the middleweight division twice and ko’d glass chin pereira. multiple title defenses vs 0. alex getting dana white privilege in light heavyweight also

I want this kid to make more history as a double champ in MMA. Hope he gets the job done but like Jiri as well.

Not me, --and don't call him "kid" like Dana does. Dude is like 36.

Truly believe this kid can get it done. I picture Alex utilizing his left hook well.

@@Phantom-wu9su 1. Stop calling him a kid, he’s probably older than you 2. You’re not a savant for predicting that Alex Pereira will use his left hook

[@medullla]

Pereira Knows Jiri cuz of Texeira, Pereira is not Dominick Reyes, doble Glory champ and now Hall of fame, great fight for both

[@DrummingKid101]

Lets go Pereira 🗿💎🥊

[@budthechud9795]

Alex is too accurate and precise for Jiri and packing too much power too. The knockout is coming.

[@ineverlaugh]

hopefully i got my mortgage on it

[@draco2xx]

jiri will give his chin to pereira on a silver platter

[@zach4936]

Hopefully, think Alex will struggle a bit with pressure n awkwardness but nothing he hasn't dealt with before

[@kinantantjiptawirawan1326]

both main and co main are down to if Tom and Jiri can take the fight to the ground, otherwise its Alex and Pav will eat them at stand up

[@alexcampos4613]

Straight CAP. Jiri HAS A STONE CHIN. Pereira can throw all he wants. Jiri is gonna eat him alive and doesn’t need to shoot not a single takedown. Just watch. And Tom Aspinall is sleeping pavlovich first round. FAST AND SMOOTH kid is special.

Should be good fight

Alex good luck ❤

[@compareFirepower]

This kid is deadly, but he looked gun shy in his fight against Jan. Could definitely have been the altitude though.

[@denychangy7386]

He was was fighting like someone who didnt want to overextend and risk getting taken down. and still managed to win. Bet he will take more chances against jiri

[@bombitvcajita]

35 yr old kid? 🤡

[@kingdaleclarke]

He's a good kid ,he really is

[@MojKanal-cz1iz]

They were both gassed and Alex was coming off loss he wasn't gonna risk it and lose twice or his hype and career would be over. I mean obviously not over completely but his stock would drop a lot. I think this time he unleashes fury on Jiri and gives us quick finish.

[@Tha_Truth22]

Poaton!!!

What round is Alex getting KOed? And is he being KOed back to middleweight or straitgh to retirement? What do you guys think? Let me know in the comments.
