Not only has Poatan a devastating hook, but his jab to the body, flying knee, that crazy calf kick. All of the striking techniques he possess is on the highest level. He also strikes me as an incredibly crafty individual who seems to just be talented at whatever he does lol

[@Dedicated_.1]

He’s high IQ, with incredibly fast reflexes and 20/20 vision, in fact he uses mainly his: eyes and reflexes as his pre-striking weapons.

[@alandemaio3043]

He is very dedicated, he explained in a interview in Portuguese how he took 2 and a half years to perfect a specific kick...

[@rickdiggler9680]

Theres a few vids of him doing things like playing pool, shooting hoops, archery and riding a bike. Hes awesome at everything lol

[@BuntarouMori]

For those who don't know his strong hand is his right hand not his left hand See him at UFC PI, he beat Ngannou's punch record BY A LOT he uses the right because it's his strongest hand. Confirmed by himself and would not need confirmation If the right has already scored 192k in the punch measurement then he would also use the left to do even better but he didn't use it because the right is much stronger I believe that technically he prefers the left but his hardest punch is the right

His title wins and his resume cannot ever revial a GSP or Migjty Mouse or Jones simply because he came in late...but what his resume may do, a different style of greatness Is to showcase the most incredible resume done in a short amount of time due to being an older fighter.

Congrats, dude. You're the first one that I see doing such a direct, sincere and lucid reading of the current situation around Jiri, for real. I honestly can't understand why people don't talk openly about how critical Jiri's fighting ability is today compared to that guy who initially achieved a solid concept. I don't see any other wrestler or striker release training videos as if they were taking a morning tai chi class. 3 days in complete darkness FOR WHAT? You are a UFC fighter or a Ghostbuster? Look at the camp of any striker or wrestler and make an honest comparison about how much expectation you can sustain in that. The guy is not very well guided, IMO Just saying, I find it unbelievable that people consider Alex's record poor considering only the numbers of fights! Man! What? 10/15 fights and double champion + well succeeded defenses? Well, what to say about others that have double or triple and don't construct even 1/3 of high level fights and belts?

[@draco2xx]

pereira will become the first ever triple champ surpassing jon jones, mark my words. aspinall and ankalaev are just part of the journey👊🏻😤👊🏻#chama

[@BurningBushPedagogy]

I don't see what Alex will do to someohe with great striking who spars heavyweight boxing elites, like Fury etc, the kick boxers or mma fighters who did boxing, or are boxers at heart always great in MMA, Anderson Silva, Ngannou, Izzy, etc, Patan himself more of a boxer, boxing was why Sean Def Izzy the first fight, Tom Aspinal boxing and size, speed, athletism will overwhelm Poatan. Maybe Curtis blaydes, Rozenstruik, Almeida, etc, not sure he could beat Cyril Gane. But Jones and Aspinal are too much and too wise for Alex Pereira. Even Izzy could take all Alex's glory one day, Izzy seems to have gotten his number. Very interesting times in MMA

[@rajyavardhansingh4491]

Fact

[@astralseeker]

Pereira ko everyone with his left hook, while exploding Nganou punch power record with his right hand. So yeah, Alex Pereira have the hardest punching power of the entire ufc including HW fighters. At this point we all know this man is going to be the first ufc fighter to hold 3 divisions titles. He has exceptional technique, perfect skeletons/muscles/tendons frame, he can generate, from close range, more punching power than any other ufc fighter can from long distance. He has higher fight IQ than his competition, great distance management, superior mental focus, extensive top level kick boxing experience, supreme self confidence, real stoicism, inpeccable timing § precision in his counter striking, and an understanding of the fighting game way above other ufc fighters. He is not a superman, he is human, but he has "the total package" (outside grappling). Ankalaev will go down next, followed by whoever in HW, aspinal, jones, gane etc... Pereira is not my favourite fighter, I preffer technique of buakaw, petr yan, ignashov, ramon deckers, tyson, crocop, fedor etc... but you have to admit that his consistency at dropping everybody ko, and his run inside the ufc, is simply never seen so far in this sport. He is making history each time he steps in the cage. ko strickland in 2 ', hills in 3', jiri in 9' and then 5', beat adesanya 3 times out of 4... Destroys 5 champs in 8 fights, get 2 belts in 2 years,( possibly 3 belts).. that is unseen since the ufc exists. He's about to surpass jons, mightymouse, anderson, gsp, in front of our eyes.

[@wassergeist7401]

Jiri Prochazka was traumatized by those low kicks - the final blow went to his face because Alex knew he was worried about getting kicked down the waist and probably was going to defend there. He actually tried to explore breaches in Alex game but the fact is that Alex was totally safeguarded. He was in control the whole first round and is always very dangerous to approach him on short distance:- you never know when that cursed left hook will come. Basically Jiri no longer had weapons to carry on that fight, his fate was sealed... and consider Alex Pereira had his toes injured when he applied that final blow from his feets!

I'd like to see him do a heavyweight side quest after beating Ankalaev, since the heavyweight division moves so slow there probably won't be a shot at the belt anytime soon. Maybe Ciryl Gane or something would be a good fight, Anderson Silva also did random light heavyweight fights back in the day.

[@Emperor_x8]

[@brunonobrega9416]

Renowned for his ice-cold stare and warrior attitude, Poatan excels far beyond Jon Jones in striking ability. His precision and power in stand-up combat are unmatched, continually honed with each fight. Moreover, Pereira has been steadily improving his wrestling skills, adding depth to his already formidable arsenal. As he evolves in MMA, his dominance in striking makes him a force to be reckoned with, showcasing why he stands out in the world of martial arts.

[@MrAwak3]

He’s fought nothing but champions too. I knew he was going to be a problem coming from Glory. I didn’t know the gap in striking was this big though.

[@TheSkiemo]

It's sad to say but there are no solutions to his kicks so far. alex does wrestling a lot through glover and with other people don't forget that he gets better at it every day, it's true that his opponents have tried but without doing too much damage on the ground or while trying to take him down to fetch. He has a black belt, that's not a coincidence, Alex is getting better with every fight, you can see that. He was new at first and now feels completely at home. He is a very dangerous man. the more he continues to win, the stronger he becomes. If you don't take him to the ground in round one and hold him, you won't win. anyone who wants to strike with him is in very great danger. The most dangerous thing is that he has the power to switch off your lights at any time when he wants to, especially from a counter. people seriously have no idea how dangerous he is. I can see him continuing to win for at least another 2 years before someone outdoes him and his style becomes an exhibition. but if he stop at right time around 40max then he wont maybe take any lose after his 40 it wil be more dangerous for him because the age. beside that he dont got alot damage if he end his fights like he do now he can easy go on to 43 age whithout getting beat

Theres names like Badr Hari, Giorgio Petrosyan, Peter Aerts, Artur Kyshenko, Nieky Holzken, Ramon Dekkers, Semmy Schilt that have a way better resumé.

[@stacrafty]

well argument can be made. First fight pretty even 2nd fight - bizzare. Dominated badly for near 2 rounds on the verge of being TKO'd and then at a referees discretion rather that just stop the fight... give a standing 8 count? Brazilian ref in Brazil. what can you do. 3rd fight, same again. Izzy's better technical striking finds Alex chin first yet again, this time its the pure luck of the bell. Alex has his power though and unless hes KO'd thats always a threat. Alex sets a combat sports record pre UFC 287 - first fighter in history to be 3-0 over someone and yet the underdog still. and for good reason, UFC 287, Izzy finds Alex's chin first yet again. This time having to bait him in such that he actually finishes him this time... other two times Alex wasn't getting out on his own, he just got mega lucky. That standing 8 count is laughable. In all Izzy and Alex's combined glory fights, when they have been in that same situation, every other time the ref just lets the fight finish. So yeah more the mocking of you got your wins like that? vs how Izzy got his. He became 2 time glory champ off the charity off his hometown ref. So thats why I think Izzy owns his soul.

Alexander Pereira kkk

[@mututuleao]

Where this power come from? Archery? Or working like a slave all your youth in tire shops? Maybe been poor and humbling the soul in dificuties?

[@Jackjoe11]

Coach no disrespect but how can you take down this Guy 6 foot 4. His Kicks are not regular kicks if you are Smart enough. His One kick can Sleep you. How can someone come near to this guy to take him down?? If you think No 4 Guy in light heavyweight can Defeat him you are too wrong coach.😢😢😢😢 This Guy is no joke😮😮

[@C0d0ps]

How can you take him down? We need an Olympic wrestler or somewhat near that. Between 6’0 and 6’6 in LHW or HW. - Probably some big American or Persian. If the Arabs have a big wrestler then throw them in. Russians have some big dudes.

Alex is a Muslim too, we got all the best fighters I swear 😂

[@samiraaa86]

Velasquez, miocic, fedor, nogeiera are definitely no moslim

[@user-hf8dc8xy1o]

Gsp,mighty mouse and list goes on and on... keep lieing to your self about your skydaddy and the domination of hes fighters lol

[@zippo_muk9254]

*Pereira also has great cardio. He easily picked apart Tai Tuavasa but he’s just a brawler.* Pereira vs. Gane, Volkov or Rozenstruik would be a great fight. I think Aspinall should be able to takedown him down and submit him.

What will we do about women's high standards for a man esp in the appearance apartment? We, average guys are invisible to them. Our lives are passing by and we spend it miserably because of their unjustified entitlement.

[@VictorKing144]

Alex is great but he’s a UFC project too. Faced zero competent wrestlers in his entire career.

[@Frederikke-g4u]

I'm grateful for the opportunity to connect with such intelligent and insightful women from around the world.😻

[@Micaela-p4g]

The level of understanding and empathy here is remarkable. It's a reminder of our shared humanity.😛
