The possibility of Alex versus Jamahal or Jiri at LHW is fun

[@po6g485]

Pereira kills Jamahal

[@alandemaio3043]

He wants Jamahal, it’s personal...revenge for Glove.

[@oh-turkeybird]

@@alandemaio3043 Jiri took the belt off Glover. Both are revenge fights

[@bambaking6265]

Jamahal would beat the shit outta pereira

[@astralseeker]

Pereira at LHW is the same monster but with more power cutting less weight. instead of 70 % KO, he'll get 90 % ko/tko wins rate with more comfort.

Grats to V and the team. I have to imagine every fighter going in there just wants all of the hard work they've put in behind the scenes to show through their performance. V did exactly that, there was no way to explain the fighter we were seeing other than a tremendous amount of work having taken place during her time away. I try to stay neutral with fighters but seeing V perform the way she did made me very happy for you two, all the best.

This is the most wholesome fan base. Everyone thanking you for the breakdown and praising v's victory. Still don't see no space marine at the front though ;)

[@hznl_z]

I think Izzy really has to go in for the kill, he has nothing to lose, if Izzy wants to win he needs to be the one constantly pressuring Alex and maybe even take him to the ground and try to submit him. In the previous fights the one who was pressuring is the one winning the fight. You can see in their MMA fight that when Izzy was pressuring Alex he was winning until the last round where Alex was the one pressuring.

[@katana_3558]

Alex has walk-through izzy s punches...izzy can't do the same...that's where the power factor comes into play

[@zacknight9137]

Izzy nearly finished him at the end of round 1. He can finish him for sure with the right game plan

[@shable1436]

Bet your so proud of Veronica, she did great, and showed her skills

[@hauntyoo]

Pereira's whole gameplan was to take the fight to the later rounds, slow down Adesanya with legkicks, bodyshots and checks. Pereira knew going out headhunting from the getgo is not going to work. But when Adesanya's movement is compromised, and he's against the cage, then it was the time for Pereira to go for the kill.

[@chello1351]

And conserve energy

[@joeltaylorthethird5443]

nice breakdown dude .

[@hauntyoo]

@@joeltaylorthethird5443 thanx. Jan had similar gameplan.

[@debbiedowner4327]

@@hauntyoo yeah and no. I mean loads of people have had that plan against Izzy. Only constant is that those two men you mentioned both beat Izzy and are the same height. They at least weren’t on the wrong end of a 4+ reach disadvantage. Izzy’s defence is actually really sloppy from a fundamental POV. But it works perfectly against 99% of people he faces. It also forces them to eat 2 or 3 shots before they even get in range. Against someone who can respond immediately like Jan or Alex, Izzy gets scored on and looks diminutive.

[@hauntyoo]

@@debbiedowner4327 yes that's true also.

[@traex8325]

Dan, I'm a huge fan. I'm so glad you're still talking fights. The world was robbed of your potential for more amazing fights, win or lose. I'll always be a fan.

[@dorianmckenzie9888]

Congrats to V on the win. Been a fan of hers ever since i saw an MMA Watch spotlight video on her some years ago. So its great to see her back and really tapping into her potential. And congrats and well done to you Dan and the whole team and anyone involved. As for this fight, i figure Izzy may need to grapple him for real for real. Trying to out point Pireira has worked but been too risky every single time. Amd idk if Izzy has the power to drop him cold. I could see more likeliness of a win for Izzy with a TKO, a sub even, or dominant grappling.

[@mugphish]

[@andrewbrown8927]

I think the biggest mistake adesanya made was not stopping him in the earlier rounds when he was controlling him. Should have been able to submit him it was there.

[@robot9071]

Izzy will never be able to sub glovers training partner. He should look at finishing the fight striking instead of point fighting though

[@markmcguffin873]

Great breakdown. I wonder, if Izzy needs to be perfect for 25 minutes because of the power of Pereira, could his best bet be a complete surprise - aim to take him out in the first round? Kill or be killed. Izzy has actually had some great success with right overhands and crosses in both kickboxing and MMA against Pereira, and he nearly finished him at the end of the first round last time.

Remember when it was everyone else who fought izzy who had to be perfect because he was so much taller than the rest of the division? Well, there's always a bigger fish in the pond.

[@byrdfeathers3552]

I feel like all I hear people say about this fight is how much better Izzy is then Alex and that Alex just has too much power and too big. It’s crazy. How Izzy has to be perfect but Alex can do whatever. Izzy almost one shot Alex with one combo at the end of the first and Alex had to get up after one minute and come back with technique and solid striking. Izzy knocked out Brunson,Whittaker, and Costa. People don’t give Alex nearly enough credit for his skill IMO

[@CJIG22]

Adesanya has to fight at an otherworldly level to best Perreira this time; I'd like to see him win, but I really don't see it happening.

[@LolitaDavidovitch]

Periera is a beautiful specimen of a man and athlete. He has been gifted by the sports gods with wicked skills, ability, and determination. I got Pereira for the " W". "AND STILL!"

[@herewardofbourn8197]

Wow Veronica 3 years have paid off what a fight dominated

[@Corswain]

I love this next fight between them. The differences in skillsets, their size, their attributes, and of course the storyline of it all. I cannot wait for it and really hope Izzy can get it done. He clearly looks like the overall better more complete MMA fighter imho, but he is 0-3 against him overall lol. Just so many 'nearly won until he didn't' moments against this nemesis of his. One interesting thing I didn't hear you mention was Pereira's durability and recovery. He was nearly out at the end of the second round, and continued to get clipped by some good shots by Izzy, throughout the fight, but never went away. He has a history of this in his other fights too; of being able to absorb damage, sometimes getting rocked, but managing to recover and then find a way to just lights-out his opponent. I think Peirera's leg kicks and leg kick checks were integral in his previous victory as well, whoever wins the leg kick battle may win the fight again. We have a really scary unique and fascinating fighter in middleweight Peirera. And we should enjoy it while it lasts, he will almost definitely go up in weight class at some point.

[@CYMotorsport]

10:21 yes this. Everyone talks about how big Alex is. You have to imagine he’s been focused fully with glover now retired on grappling. Can you imagine if he gets dominant position with time left in a round? That’s terrifying. How much technical defense can be accrued as it relates to grappling in 6 months? Enough to mitigate the power of Alex? I’m not so sure. But Izzy is not slouch in the punching department. Dan how much does it effect Alex getting rocked after the bell in round 1? Does he carry that into the fight you think to a point it’s noteworthy?

[@LumpyYT]

What’s up Dan always good to get a breakdown from a real 1

[@morpheus19]

I think Alex gets it done this time and earlier, he wont show him as much respect as in their last fight, i think he cuts off the ring and takes him out again..

[@hermitrob5481]

Mark did Izzy the biggest favor of his career. Would've been a bad look with his eyes rolled back in his head and toes pointing at the lights. May not have been the same guy afterwards. How many times have we seen that?

[@N.M.T.K]

Alex Pereira, got Style Benders, number. Pereira, not only pressures he looks for openings and timing. He's a Top Pro Kickboxer that can land Knee's. Alex Pereira, also has real Strong Power. He doesn't just rely on it. He knows he must use his MMA iQ.

[@justinmosley8638]

Pressing the thumbs up before Dan even commences speaking. 😂

[@ahikernamedgq]

Congratulations to Veronica! Dan, great analysis, as always. I think you touched on the key issue with the fight (for Adesanya): the striking was relatively even throughout the fight. If Izzy wants to knock out Alex, or if Izzy wants to definitely beat him in points, then the striking needs to not be even. Izzy needs to make a lot more hits than Alex, because Alex only needs one good one.

[@FkTheUFC]

Alex outstruck him. With ease.

[@ahikernamedgq]

@@FkTheUFC False. Alex was losing the fight going into the last round (even though he took Izzy down) precisely because Izzy out struck him.

[@RealCaniel]

Congrats to V, great performance the other night. That headkick was savage, IDK how Juli survived that.

[@Trent_Walter]

I think alot of people overlook the fact that Izzy had Pereira rocked in 2 of their fights, the only thing that saved Pereira was the bell both times. Izzy has the power to put him away

[@MrDanopeca]

Its crazy how everyone just paints pereira like he is just a power puncher, he is a two divisions glory champion, he destroyed izzy body and legs, checked every single low kick, cutted the angles perfectly, but everyone just thinks the guy have a lucky to be strong.
