Considering he never trained until the age of 18 and didn't take kickboxing seriously until he was 22-23 what he accomplished there is already a hell of a story. Then he gets into MMA in his 30s and accomplished all he has already. That's some Hollywood movie type shit

[@Vinicius-gy8wk]

He started training when he was 21, and only became a professional when he was approximately 24 (that is, living exclusively from fighting). Putting it into perspective, at the age that Jon Jones was already champion, Alex was still an amateur who lived by changing tires living in a favela.

actually plinio did well on the translation, very good ... im brazilian but i can get ut point, alex is learning english, u can see buy the way he looks forward to see what plinio is saying/translating right after he said it, example, ''agora nao é porque eles sao burros que a gente nao pode ser esperto''= im smart, i will not pretend im dumb, bcs of them ( macachev+ all those soons of genocide russia) ,''nao tenho culpa se eles sao burros , oq ele falou nao faz sentido, nao é minha culpa, se ele demorou esses 10 anos para aprender, ele tem que aceitar que eu n sou assim , eu sou diferenciado''= its not my fault if they r dumb, if for him took all the way to 10 years to learn how to wrestle, im not like him( refering to makachev) he has to accept, to understand that im especially different , not like him.

[@ButtaMOB23]

Seeing Alex at 205 and taking good shots from some big hitters lets me know he lost that last Izzy fight because of the weight cut. Bro has a decent weight cut at 205. You add another 20 lbs and there's no way that does not have a negative affect. He was even rocked in the first Izzy fight and nobody has rocked him at 205 and all are bigger hitters than Izzy. Would love to see a 3rd fight but at 205 Can't see Izzy wanting to fight him again especially at 205.

Luckily I got to see him fight live 3 times in the UFC. You know for a fact if they are booking him for headlines at the most massive UFC evens his PPV.s are selling massive and he's getting points on those fights. Plus all the sponsorships and other business ventures that will materialize from his fame. Then imagine after UFC the massive boxing matches he could get. Imagine Fury vs. Poatan for example.
