Impossible to not like Alex. Awesome, humble dude 🗿

[@matiurussell8342]

Yep him and izzy are going to be good friends

[@rickc5682]

I think Alex is becoming the Face of the UFC

[@DigRigPowersport]

How can you not like this guy. Him acknowledging that Jamal did the right thing by reaching out to Izzy says a lot about his character. He knew they were friends and had noting negative to say about either of them or the advice that was given. Class act and hall of fame champion in and out the ring in my book.

[@newman9948]

Pereira vs. Adesanya 3 could have been massive 300.

Im really lucky to understand English and Portuguese man, all respect to his translator but sometimes he skips alot of thing that alex is saying

[@NotesofaCornellStudent]

What?

[@snowflake362]

⁠@@NotesofaCornellStudentwhat he meant to say poatan defeated izzy three times he indirectly beated him fourth time because he defeated jan who defeated izzy at one time he indirectly defeated izzy fifth time because he trained the guy who defeated izzy he defeated him for the sixth time because alex won the light heavyweight belt while izzy couldnt even compete in that divison and he would be beating him for the seventh time because he defeated the guy who got advice from izzy

[@aronrawiri1302]

Wonderfully said

[@PeEzequiel]

6:15 bro, he didn't say anything about beating him many times wtf

[@HELO_sb]

what did he say?

[@PeEzequiel]

@@HELO_sb He only said a advice though a video call would be better than go to Adesanya's gym and spar him, I don't know exactly what he meant by that, but, saying it would be frustating because he beat him many times made him sound kinda like an asshole

[@okdexx]

@@PeEzequielAlex was being sarcastic when he said that

[@viniciuskarimov3516]

@@PeEzequiel Provocated Hill. Basically because Hill would see that Adesanya is far more technical than him. What some people cannot understand is that, from a top tier kickboxing perspective, it's clear for someone like Poatan that Adesanya is far better than Hill regarding striking.

[@terolek]

​@@PeEzequielHe meant that Hill would get beaten by Izzy in sparring, so it was better for him that he just made a video call

The UFC has so many mysterious run-ins happen between fighters while on camera.

Acho que seria bom o Poatan aprender inglês. Mas uma coisa é bom de ver, eles não tem como negar o sucesso dele e sabendo que o estadunidense não gosta de falar outro idioma que não seja o deles, eles querem sempre os outros falem o idioma deles, porém vão ter que engolir essa.
