Khalil is the best striker he's faced.. says who? Let's see Khalil against jiri, Jan or Jamal. Not sure id pick him to win any of them.

Dude was getting easily hit by Anthony Smith...😂

[@Dukestboy96]

​@@jayjaytv_4226we've seen more than enough upsets in recent times not to count anyone out but man Khalil hasn't proved anything to be given such an opportunity.

[@mikemosley2948]

13 fights in UFC w/ 6 KO’s, Poatan 9 fights w/ 6 KO’s so……💯

[@benfroughi]

Bisping has started doing that 'American TV Expert' thing where the conversation gets thrown to him, and he sort puts on an excited voice and talks a bit too quickly for 20 seconds, ending it with "and I cant wait!" I'm sure that's exactly what ESPN wants. It's a bit cheesy for British people, though. We're not really into that. Slow it down by 10% and let the conversation be a bit more natural. Thanks very much.

Did bisping really say that Khalil is the best striker Poatan has faced? What about Jan, Jiri, Hill, Izzy, Sean????

[@kbn4370]

He only meant LHW, but I agree Khalil is not the best, I would go for Jan. Khalil arguably lost to Jacoby who is a kickboxer

[@Dukestboy96]

Unfair to say ankalaev puts a glass eye to sleep in his recent performances when his last performance was a quick KO win and the time before was stopped due to a dodgy doctor

[@Darkstarsovereign]

No it’s not he’s a boring fighter that got beat by Jan and like the rest of the inshallahs tries to pick and choose when he fights. POATAN!!!!

[@areebsiddiqui758]

@@Darkstarsovereign Same Jan that arguably beat your Poatard. Ank nearly ended him in the last round and should have go the win. He knocked out Johnny Walker who knocked out Khalil but Rountree is getting the title shot over him cause the UFC want to protect their golden goose. But your boy can't run forever. Eventually he'll have to face Ankalaev and we'll see how it ends for him.

[@claudiocurci3235]

Bisping never fail to look an absolute casual when he speak about poatan … he keep underestimate that monster , poatan fought at least 10 striker better than him and striking wise khalil is an amateur compared to Alex pereira… will be another brutal ko . And still

8:40 -Pereira: 8 UFC wins, 1 loss, 1 split decision, 4 UFC wins streak, was fast tracked to UFC title shot. -Makhachev: 15 UFC wins, 1 loss, 0 split decision, 14 UFC wins streak, wasn't fast tracked to UFC title shot. Its not even close Makhachev is P4P no.1.

[@velosoul7395]

Mack has only fought in one weight class, defended twice to a fighter in weight division below. Pereira never in a boring fight, fights at quick turn around. Mack is brilliant but don't make it so obvious a decision there is an argument for both.

[@areebsiddiqui758]

@@velosoul7395 That fighter from a division below was also the former P4P #1 by the way. Volk, Charles and Dustin are way better wins than Jiri, Hill and a split decision over Jan. Also got knocked out by Izzy before that. Islam is clearly the P4P #1 right now. Pereira is second.

[@timurjack8773]

@velosoul7395 , that one weight class is the most competitive and toughest weight class in MMA. There are around 100 Lightweights in UFC but there are around only 40 lightheavyweights compete in UFC, competition level is not even close. If Pereira was a Lightweight competing in Lightweight division, he wouldn't even be a top 10 fighter, let alone being a champion.

[@velosoul7395]

@@areebsiddiqui758 Islam lost to Adriano Martins, not really an Izzy level fighter to lose to and Pereira has a win over the fighter he lost to. Doesn't matter how good a fighter is in a weight class below, it's still a smaller fighter, weight classes for a reason

[@areebsiddiqui758]

@@velosoul7395 That was in 2015. He's a completely different fighter now and has been on a win streak since then. If we're using your logic then Pereira lost to some guy called Quemmel Ottoni in 2015. He's not even Adriano Martins level. Pereira was literally a weight bully at 185 fighting guys 30 pounds smaller than him. Islam had maybe 10-15 pounds on Volk.

Not true. Ankalaev beat Krylov, Santos and Volkan. Ankalaev also KOed 3 people that beat Rountree before: -Cutelaba -Marcin -Walker.

[@zaddybushido]

I don’t think it’s a tough pick at all. Alex smokes him.

[@superflyguy4488]

It takes a minimum of two weeks to acclimatise to that altitude. For a fight I'd get there no less than a month early.

[@charged710]

I heard a minimum of 6! Seems like fighters who try doing it in 2 weeks always gas early in the fight?

Personally don't understand why the UFC keeps going to cities with altitude. Any big fights we're excited for seem to get flipped on their heads

[@sharonshinde9640]

After the peak cards of 299 and 300, UFC seems to be struggling to put on good cards and have to rely on Alex to save every alternate card. No one cares about Khalil or Pena-Pennington to be honest.

[@gregspencer7287]

Rountree might be the best striker Alex has faced at 205 in the UFC, but Alex spent his career as a kickboxer in Glory. I don’t really see Bispings point here…

[@talon3684]

There's no doubt Rountree will be attempting to sling haymakers and crack legs. Alex has to be careful and not underestimate him, especially because Alex holds his hands at about chest height to protect both head and body. That being said, I still believe Alex gets it done, mixes it up well on the feet and gets the KO in the 3rd Round if not sooner. Chama! I want to see Alex become double champion and 3-weight division champion!

[@evanhughes9899]

I really dislike all this p4p bollox, the p4p is the heaviest fighter thats why we have weight classes.

[@timurjack8773]

Its the exact opposite. Do research to see how p4p term created first by the media. It was a marketing tool for the smaller divisions, since Heavyweight boxing was more popular, but there was also a Welterweight like Sugar Ray Robinson who was a very dominant champion from smaller weight classes, they created the p4p term to show how skilled smaller divisions are than heavyweights, who usually rely on power rather than skill.

[@Oliver-q3x]

@@timurjack8773 None of that matters though does it, p4p means nothing because it doesn't matter how skillful the lower weight fighter are they would still get smashed by the heavyweight on pure size.
