I love how Plinio translates with context and not word by word so that Alex can understand exactly what DC is asking and vice versa. That’s a serious skill to have when translating

[@jayn6943]

[@LambSauceWill]

With Jiri’s wide stance those leg kicks are going to be there for Alex all night unless Jiri makes the right adjustment

[@Trreacherous]

Jiri’s low hands and his punching up is gunna leave him wide open for an Alex check hook. I love Jiri but unless he changes his defense think it’s an Alex KO

[@ssk58607]

​@@Trreacherousalex doesn't defend his head properly either lol hear movement is good but is offende oriented a lot, and jiri can knock him out like Izzy did. I got alex, but should be interesting

@@jakesmith6669 thats because youve never went to leg kick someone and got checked.

[@kingin24-72]

The stars have aligned perfectly for Poatan… Beat Izzy for the MW title, beat Sean Strickland by KO (current MW champ & beat Izzy), beat Jan in a decision (Izzy lost a decision to Jan) & to avenge his Mentor (Glover) with a win over Jiri and to become a double champ

[@porko8980]

[@habby007]

Can’t wait to watch😂😂😂😂😂

[@zacharyhullender8663]

Let's be crystal clear, Jiri forfeited the belt he didn't "lose" it. He did something most champions won't do, he let the division move forward while he went through surgery/rehab. Another reason he did it is because he truly believes in himself to recover it, no bullshit interim belts. I gotta be stickler on this because it has a lot of value.

[@jordan__.]

lol ok

[@TLaw88]

Who cares, man. He isn't the champ either way. None of that matters. It matters if he reclaims the belt. And should he win. He will still be considered a two time champion.

[@paweljel5608]

Actually yiri in the recent interview admitted that vacating the belt wasn't his idea but ufc asked him to do it

[@zacharyhullender8663]

@@paweljel5608 he didn't have to though. We've seen it over the last couple of decades. He knew he would get it back. Goes so show what a real martial artist is inside and outside of fighting. I don't really see the value in your point here, sounds like a way of trying to degrade. Your one of those assholes.

[@mohamedalahmadani5174]

“Adesanya, come to daddy” well there you go 😂

[@Trreacherous]

I went back and rewatched Jiri’s fights. If he keeps his hands low like against Dom Reyes Alex wins by KO aka what he did to Strickland.

If Poatan pulls this off and puts together a decent title reign, theres a HOF argument imo

[@ARMYEEUU]

If pereira spoke bit English he can be an international superstar like international Pacquiao in his day

[@BobcatBlade]

I wonder what% he uses in fights. Probably 20 or so, cause they do damage, but he uses 0 telegraph. Also, he's smart. If someone checks a hard kicks, he might break his shin, since he doesn't turn them over.

[@viniciusaniceto1779]

I agree its not 100%, but I guess a little higher then 20.. When it doesnt land you can see there is more power then he gave dc in the last kick

[@yhyhyh47]

lmao he throws way harder in a fight, way way harder then this 25% but yeah he doesent go full force

[@Fillegubben]

It's smart of him for sure to not telegraph, but it's also his hip anatomy most likely, a lot of people can't or don't want to throw it like that without pivoting on the other foot. Same thing as him being so unorthodox in his overall striking, according to other strikers at least

[@restlessyouthproductions]

Soooo? What is Alex doing ? Is it the way he turns his foot flat onto the calve? Or is it the delivery where he puts the energy snapping in the end? Looks painful as hell...lol

[@Coolgiy67]

Yeah foot on the calve a couple of those and you can’t use that leg anymore

[@TRONvix]

The translator need do a better job. He is translating like 10% of what Poatan is really talking about.
