[@chilenskbjorn8737]

What a monumental job you did by putting countless pieces of clips, interviews in different languages and fight videos together to create this, arguably the best Poatan documentary I've found on KZbin. I know other comments have stated the same, because it's truly amazing what you've done so take everyone of them as a big THANK YOU from us, Alex "Poatan" Pereira's fans. What a story, and what a warrior, a humble, rather silent, shy but gentle giant.

When Poatan was at the one press conference with Izzy and they first faced off and he says, "Look at me," then nods, '...Saturday," is one of the most badass things i've ever seen. I dunno why, just was.

That's because he meant it....he said it straight to Izzy and not to the cameras. Like what Khabib once said..."This is real talk"

[@lioncvet21]

I truly believe him saying "Look at me" was Poatan's way of telling Israel that he hadn't forgotten his bar comment. "Saturday" just cemented it. Savage. So happy to see him get the dub against Jiri again. Man what a head kick. Man what a story. Poatan forever.

[@mickyzzzeee]

How Izzy can do what he did after losing 3 times. What he did to Alex’s 5 year old shows that deep down he’s just an insecure boy. To all young MMA fighters….i dare say that most fathers would be instructing them to follow in Alex’s footsteps. Stoic, masculine, quiet….not painting their finger nails and acting like a fool. In the end the money will come by being good at what you do, you don’t need to be a clown. GSP, DC, Anderson Silva, Alex….they didn’t need to make things a side show in order to be successful. It’s refreshing

[@jamesdjl4359]

[@EKk8819]

This dude is the leanest man I've ever seen in my life, he cuts weight to make 205 yet you can see his ribs and every bone in his body. The man is just built for fighting, he's got to have the lowest body fat % ever. He looks like he's made out of steel, and he moves like a fucking gazelle out there. The thing that makes Alex so dangerous is his mind, he's a thinking, plotting fighter. He's got the best trap set ups for KO's I've ever seen, he's so intelligent in there, thinking 2-3-4 steps ahead of his opponents. Just a once in a life time athlete. The better his TDD is the more unstoppable he becomes.

[@SODA062]

Brazilian pride!! Your story is beautiful and motivates us. CHAMA! 🔥

[@26michaeluk]

Alex is everything Izzy proclaims to be.

[@2hatsful]

Got to be real this is a bad take. I’m a huge fan of both Alex but it is just undeniable that Izzy was one of the best champs the UFC has seen. Just based on how active he was and the story lines he was able to create. There is no Alex without Izzy and I believe personally that there is no Izzy without Alex with how great both of their fights were. You can pick favorites but I believe both fighters have been shaped by one another and both deserve their own respect from the fans.

[@26michaeluk]

@@2hatsful I don't disagree but Alex is 3-1, took his title, went up and beat Jan when Izzy couldn't, then won another title and has beat 5 champions or former champions. Izzy fights outside maybe 3 were snooze fests. The rest he was just a point fighter. I'll bet you 1000 dollars Alex will beat Izzy if they fight again. Also Alex is 37 and humble. The only two division champion in Glory history and now a two division UFC champ. I do wholeheartedly agree there is no Izzy without Alex and vice versa. If Izzy had never made that bar comment we'd of never seen Alex. I just don't get how people are fans of Izzy but that's ok. Good comment.

Humble man, not a trash talker. If Alex retires today, he still must be considered as one of the best combat sports athlete ever. I'm not sure if he will keep the UFC belt for too long, but the history is already writen.

I didn't have things as hard as him, but I have worked very hard in my life at many jobs. I like physical labor, helps quiet my monkey mind, not much else can do it. Really cool to see someone rise up so far from a start full of pitholes through the power of hard work. I don't like working for money, but I need to expend my energy physically. When I am passionate about the purpose of the labor, like making a garden for friends, the energy just flows.
