The definition of Aura 🔥🗿

[@specialk6239]

Okay dead by daylight 💀

[@darwinsanchez4842]

Only Jiri can claim his oppents are using spirits to win fights and make me believe him

[@gooodwill6608]

But Alex didn´t deny it.

[@celainelimadesouza6222]

Pior é ele usar a meditação e tentar alegar que apela para a força mental. A crença é isso....vc acreditar em algo que não se pode ver.

[@Jozzu-sz1rt]

That's fair game 😅

[@svdcleveland]

@@gooodwill6608 Not only did he not deny it, he confirmed it.

[@mikemosley2948]

POATAN pray’s just like everyone else does, the man has a right to think and act how he likes. Blaming your loss on Magic makes Jiri look unhinged, not some bad Azz Samurai 💯☝️🤔

[@asansaipidinuulu9642]

Shaman ❌ Chama ✅

[@kanethesevenfootmonster868]

😂😂😂😂😂👍🏼👍🏼

[@gustavosoares4926]

Chama is from the verb Chamar. Which would literally be to call, to invite... But which Alex uses as slang. Example: Will I or won't I? come or not? shall we or shall we not? Always for something good to happen.

[@XrisCross001]

I like Poatan's personality. Confident, focused, positive outlook and classy. Rooting for him to win

[@AA1319A]

This man is the definition of tunnel vision focus. Look at his eyes - all he is thinking about is destroying his opponent like a hungry shark. Feel bad for anyone in the ring that has to look his way.

[@Diogo-dt1uf]

Alex look sick

[@TexasASF]

Alex isn't just knocking people out, he's making them go crazy after words lol. Jamal Hill was delusional two weeks after getting KOd and Jiri is sitting in dark rooms worrying about UFC ghost lmao

Don't squeeze the Shaman.

[@innervision97]

Poatan the great!

[@IsenathiDyantyi]

Chama 🙏🏿🇧🇷

[@BuntarouMori]

4:20 Plínio é um grande parceiro do Poatan, tem um bom inglês, mas percebo que ele deixa direto a desejar na transmissão das ideias tanto do que querem dizer, jornalistas ou a mensagem do Poatan, ele não transmite a voz dele exatamente 100% Não acho que seja deficiência no inglês do Plínio, me parece falta de interpretação. A pergunta claramente era sobre POATAN VOCÊ COMO LUTADOR, SERIA JIRI O OPONENTE DENTRO DO OCTÓGONO QUE TEM UM ESTILO DE LUTA MAIS DIFERENTE QUE VOCÊ JÁ ENFRENTOU? Ele não interpreta direito eai Poatan interpretou pra outro sentido.

[@frankjacob8360]

ele é muito vacilao cara, na moral.

[@50089]

Hora perfeita pra vacilar 4:20 kkkk… O problema e que os brasileiros que aprendem inglés Fala e entente achao que Domina a parada , más claramente nao o dominio esta nessas horas que vc tem traduzir mesmo ai que vc v c tu e mesmo pika calibre 50 Yooooo diiiiigggggg

[@BuntarouMori]

É até estranho achar que é erro de interpretação. De entendimento de inglês óbvio que não é, se fosse ele não traduzia direto na lata ao vivo Enrso é interpretação, mas interpretação também é estranho porque ELE INTERPRETOU A PERGUNTA, entendeu e é algo muito raso de interpretar de tão fácil Talvez seja falta de atenção, zelo maior em passar a mensagem com mais cuidado mesmo, o que faz sentido porque ele não é um intérprete profissional e sim um amigo, parceiro de treino, então há um relaxamento Eu já vi até o Plínio reescrever as palavras do Poatan, a idéia

[@greatesthits8293]

This dude became the face of mma so damn quick. Used to be Mcgregor but I heard he retired to become a whiskey salesman

[@gustavosoares4926]

Chama comes from the Portuguese verb Chamar ( To Call, lets go...) Which Alex uses as a slang term from a region in northeastern Brazil. To say come or not come? Will I or won't I? Do I do it or not do it? shall we or shall we not? It's like something good is happening now. Jiri changed it to Shamam🤣🤣😂. I think Poatan hit him too much in the head.

[@rcn3490]

You do realise he’s talking about shamanics? People who perform rituals.

[@gustavosoares4926]

@@rcn3490 Alex has indigenous roots. He wanted to represent the indigenous people. That's why he dresses like an indigenous person. People who are facing extinction. He can't dress up as a German or Chinese like Adesanya did. Of course, if you visit a tribe they have their culture and rituals. Alex trains every day day and night. Teach your kickboxing techniques. For an idiot to come and say that he is taking down his opponents with magic. And Muggles believe that their idol only lost because Alex used magic🤡. If this magic with this power exists, the Indigenous people would not have become extinct or become extinct.

[@gustavosoares4926]

@@rcn3490 It would be the same thing as saying that the fighters from Dagestan are only winning because their God is taking down their opponents.

[@Yourmomshousemyrules]

​@@gustavosoares4926 No, it wouldn't. Muslims don't believe God helps people win sporting events, they only pray for safety. Alex believes he summons the power of his ancestors to attack his opponents. Obviously it's all nonsense, but they are vastly different ideas.
