Alex Pereira vs Jamahal Hill | Dan Hardy Breakdown, The War Room Episode

[@moisesruiz4104]

Talk about talent. Dan hardy grabs a mic and sits in the middle of the mats and pulls out an analysis hahaha fuck I miss the old UFC Dan Hardy Breakdowns when he had a big screen and UFC resources

[@Spliffstar26]

It's still Dan though and that's all that matters

Yesssss! Ive been waiting for a Dan Hardy 300 breakdown for days!!! Lol

[@yvonnefarnacio9712]

Dan Hardy’s analysis is the best, hands down.

[@NinjaTurnip74]

This was really one of the best War Room’s you’ve ever done. Incredibly insightful and wonderfully presented, concise throughout. Thanks Dan 🏴‍☠️

[@wadap0]

Thanks Dan! Appreciate the extra effort to get this done while on the road. Best of luck to Veronica!

[@whynotdee_]

Finally! Thanks for the content Dan you have been missed 👊🏻

[@justinwright7469]

Love the breakdown. As a fan of Dan I would love a breakdown of Max and Justin

[@DarthBalsamic]

Enjoy your breakdowns as usual. Personally, you're the best in this circle in breaking down fights.

[@raymondkjelsesth6077]

Really appreciate the content and sick Analysis skills!

[@Darkstarsovereign]

FUCK YES HOPE YALL BREAKDOWN THE FULL CARD 🇺🇸🇬🇧

[@jasontroy4723]

Gotta Love the break down from the outlaw . And not to mention the ( THE WAR ROOM ) . Awesome title for the subject . Hats off Dan .

[@Linzeroz]

I was watching Pereria's interview and he looks almost oblivious to the other fights on the card, this level of focus is impressive. On the other hand, this fight represents a lot to Hill, especially coming from a nasty injury that could end his career. I hope both fighters show up at their best version and give us a great fight.

[@markcowan3366]

They are both so good. This could be a banger but I fear it's gonna be a boring fight because of their mutual respect/caution. I hope I'm wrong though.

[@Frencharelle]

Thank you for being so good at your mma analysis in these fights we are looking forward too.

[@Filly__]

The best fight breakdowns 🙏🏽

[@jameshaynes8741]

Need a full 300 card prediction video!!

[@clothshorse]

Love your work Dan. Good luck with the camp 👊

[@Agent_4547]

Alex is going to chop at Hill’s leg, Jamahal is going to overextend himself on a combination and get caught wrong footed and put to sleep

[@MissTReviews]

Hate that you're not wrong. I'm hoping Hill is gonna be smarter than that. BUT, I ain't putting any money on that.

[@evanholliman7736]

Alex counters way harder but I still think that’s how Jamahal gets it done if he does.

[@drakeshotplays]

Remember leg kicks don't matter if you check them and Hill has that ability also Hill switches stances very well which isolates leg kicks as well 🤔 Remember Poatan got kod by Izzy and Jamahal hits way harder than Izzy

[@XHEADTOWALLX]

​@@drakeshotplaysHill doesn't check kicks and is always open for the left counter.

[@gswift1]

I’m a big Izzy fan. But I believe weight cut affected Alex ability to take a punch. Still a great performance by one of the best mw champ Izzy.

[@JackRabbitSlimz1]

Been waiting for this one boys! Dans the best in the biz!

[@Bugsygb1]

WHAT A CARD!

[@slonejensen-vail3543]

Best content around. Loved your career but love your post fight career maybe even more.

[@CYMotorsport]

15:41 mate of course it matters. For one, you severely underestimating the importance of stance for Alex specifically. This is a lot like when De La Hoya struggled with southpaws or even as recently as Garcia vs Tank. Ryan and Oscar being orthodox fighters with big, dynamic left hands. Tank being a south paw neutralized the threat entirely ripping his body and trading short lefts Ryan loves with tanks big power left hook . A trade he’ll take all day every day. This is more pronounced in mma. You vote the lead leg attack. You really don’t see how Alex getting less pop vs a southpaw is going to matter? Did you rewatch the Silva fight? Alex’s leg game is dangerous bc he whips his dominant leg around in ortho into an orthodox fighters lead leg. That’s out for Hill who primarily will engage right foot forward. I’d also mention Hill has a documented history obliterating guys coming over top of kicks. Alex tends to hug the center line on leg attacks. He’s used to being so much longer than guys they are out of range to make him pay. Hill is not only every bit of long he’s much more athletic than Alex and significantly younger. The wild card, I agree, is his Achilles. But I also respectfully disagree that stance doesn’t matter for boxing for hill. Against Jimmy he was circling away . He noticed Jimmy’s looping shots so he timed it and circled right and slept him from southpaw giving him even less time to react or expect the shot from the short right the moment Jimmy steps into one of those overhand rights. Against Walker he was switching each time Walker did which was quite a lot. He liked the ortho vs ortho stance walker wasn’t doing much with his jab and when he went to throw a lazy 1-2, Hill saw it and ignored the faint 1 and beat him to the shot which caught Walker blind. Alex has a documented history of dropping his hands hence why he got flatlined by izzy. And hill is one of the best guys on the roster at chain boxing instinctively. Alex is not used to that. It’s what Sean wanted to do but didn’t have the reach to do it. Hill has the reach to stay in range with Alex and close any gaps to beat him to a shot once hill gets inside boxing range. Where we agree is how Alex keeps hill in kicking range and how long he can do it will dictate how successful he is. If hill closes the gap, Alex’s paths to winning tighten dramatically. But that is Alex’s specialty. But he’s never fought someone as big, young, and fast as Hill who is arguably more dangerous boxing. The one thing you didn’t mention that I think could matter is Alex’s knees. Hill is dangerous to clinch with as his ground game is very very good in terms of his scrambling and ability to be in favorable position. But imo hill has gotten confused on what to do with knees coming his way. Especially Alex’s jump knee. I could see Alex having success with his jump knee but it’ll only work 1-2 times. Hill is a monster at timing and anticipating. But if Alex lands one of those, it’ll change the fight.

[@mynameisnotimportant7336]

Liking the video before watching because I know Dan Hardy always brings it and it feels like punching Dana in the face.

[@GBL99999]

[@JavierMartinez-rz4vc]

Great as always Dan

[@thefadedfader]

Good looking out! Coming through with the buzzer beater.

[@lucianoDoni1]

If a high level striker like Adesanya had trouble defending the leg kicks from Pereira why would Jamahal be more competent in defense?

[@draco2xx]

the thing is hill isn't a unorthodox striker, so we will see pereira sitting down more on his punches that's where hill is going to get tko'd or if hill goes in the phone booth with pereira he could flatlined. i also do see hill winning but the odds are very low

[@jodlen49]

Thank you Dan - so many become bias via the hype - not you man. I can always rely on your breakdowns...

[@CAW139]

My ONLY complaint (and I've heard this from other analysts) is calling Pereira a middleweight. He made middleweight, but he's a light heavyweight. An "average" sized light heavyweight is NOT a middleweight

[@xwhite2020]

ha ha. Best you look at his MMA record.

[@CAW139]

​@@xwhite2020Poireir has a bunch of featherweight fights, he's not a featherweight though.

[@markcowan3366]

Well, most fighters "make" their weight class. Honestly it's a weight class, and everyone trying to get an advantage by cutting as much weight as humanly possible. Most fighters are 10+ pounds heavier on fight night. So if you're walking around anywhere close to your weight class, especially in the LHW division, you're average. He was cutting what, 25+ pounds to fight middle weight? That's a big ass middle weight compared to Izzy that doesn't cut that much.

[@sentientdogma1206]

Ahhh, another Gland Handy breakdown. These are amazing.

[@81ghale]

I think Alex makes a statement this fight. I feel like a lot of people forget just how long Alex has been training mma and grappling, and the guy teaching him is Glover. He didn’t just start fighting mma after a year of training. He’s been fighting mma since 2015. And been with Glover since around 2018 I think. So he’s not a complete noob. Of course he wants to keep it standing, so do a lot of fighters. But this “Alex has no idea what he’s doing if you put him on his back” is overblown.

[@drakeshotplays]

Alex has looked bad on the ground since his moved up to 205 Jan had success and so did Jiri and remember Poatan just got KOd by Izzy and Jamahal hits like a truck compared to Izzy

[@81ghale]

@@drakeshotplays they both ended up losing tho. Alex isn’t an offensive grappler and probably never will be, I’m not trying to insinuate that. But he did well at times getting back up, and he does seem to like to take it easy on his back, which could be because he’s not necessarily uncomfortable there, and he doesn’t mind getting behind on the cards it seems like. He’s not been close to being finished, that I can remember, on the ground. I like Jamahal, he’s one of the most exciting fighters to me right now (before the injury). But his power isn’t the same, and to connect he has to be in reach of Alex. I think Alex wins that battle. Plus the leg kicks. I know the idea is he’ll get countered because that’s normally the case. But Alex has zero load up on his leg kicks. It’s crazy, his upper body doesn’t even move, his hips don’t even really turn. He just flicks it out and it does more damage than it looks like it should. Hill thinks he’s the best in the world, and he should because he didn’t lose the belt. But I think that’s going to push him to try and stand with Alex and I don’t think that’s the best plan. I can’t wait tho, it’s going to be exciting for sure.

[@xancypillosi9497]

@@81ghalehill is def better grappler than jiri. 100%. And dude is a thick boned human

[@81ghale]

@@xancypillosi9497 oh yeah he’s awesome, he deserved to be champion and it sucks he got hurt. I just think Alex is, what these other guys try to put on a show to be. Like Jiri and the whole “warrior” thing, Alex is the real thing and he just has what looks like effortless power. Even his calf kicks he doesn’t turn his hips just flicks it and people are a mess after 2 or 3. Definitely looking forward to this one.

@@xancypillosi9497 was it me, or did Hill look soft as fuck? Max was talking about his “muffin top”, but Hill had a damn gut hanging.

Poatan by barrages of brutal leg kicks and drawing Hill in for the left hook KO. Good night.

[@Jay-pd9kc]

That’s what everyone is predicting so give me Jamahal. Just worried about his Achilles

[@drakeshotplays]

Alex has looked bad on the ground since his moved up to 205 Jan had success and so did Jiri and remember Poatan just got KOd by Izzy and Jamahal hits like a truck compared to Izzy, also remember that Hill switches stances really well which helps prevent leg kicks Hill also has the ability to check leg kicks

[@originaldissident151]

I would say hill swings wide and a shorter straighter counter punch lands first.... dan should know this better than anyone 😊 x

[@inobi30]

Welcome back Dan

[@paytonmcnatt8830]

Apparently hill has every advantage aside from the fact he fkd his Achilles tendon up. I legit don’t understand why every analyst is giving Jamal so much more respect than Alex. Then again I’m not a professional. Should be a good scrap

[@Muffins2117]

I’m getting the same feeling. Everyone’s acting like this is Alex’s first mma fight or his first LHW fight..

[@slXD100]

imho i have Alex due to Hill's recent injury and all of that, but otherwise I'd give it to Hill. why? because Alex is VERY hittable and Hill has quite some power.. Alex has been hit in all his LHW fights including his last middleweight clashes.. Hill will KO Alex if he is as hittable as he has been.

[@Muffins2117]

@@slXD100 ya but hill throws a lot of right hands from his hip and leaves an opening for a left hook a lot which is Alex’s specialty. I could definitely see hill koing him but I don’t think it would be a foregone conclusion

[@nietzschean3138]

@@slXD100 Do you really think Hill has any striking that Alex has never seen?

Alot these analysis are definitely hating on Alex, I don't quite understand either. Jamahal is super sloppy and coming of an Achilles tear fighting the best leg kicker in the sport, it shouldn't be this hard to predict this fight!

💯This was an excellent breakdown.-First one I've watched, so Kudos @DanHardy. 🔥Despite all his talent, I feel like Hill is too cocky right now. All I can say, is Hill better check every leg kick. If he lets even a few through, he is going to be in a lot of trouble and likely will lose this fight. -- It will be sad and frustrating to see ,and such a shame, since Hill has had plenty of time to prepare for it! 💥

[@allmightylowercasejay1138]

I think the problem here is everything he's saying about Hill's striking is what was said about Izzy and Jiri and Alex stopped both of them. Also Hill has never shown that he is a threat to take you down so this is gonna be a stiking match.

[@WARTV-dn5fk]

Hill, like Prochazka, gets hit, and when Pereira hits you, you STAY HIT 😃
