Joe Rogan reacts to UFC 303: Alex Pereira ‘shut Jiri down’ | ESPN MMA

[@MemeFeedFactory]

Pereira is just one of those no-talk-all-action fighters. No trash-talk. Always has composure. And insane knockout power. Just a true badass.

[@bigbrou2755]

Yes! true! Facts! 🗿🗿👻👻

[@tekopuakanapanapa6824]

Yeh bro. He's just a straight killer.

[@Tony.5211]

A worthy champ, unlike Conor and Jones.

[@nikobellic9004]

Some people and the ufc thought it was going to be o'malley or topuria who were going to be the next ppv stars but they miss calculated the fact they don't have any charisma, they are cringe and worst of all they are only budjet copy of conor and so they never had a chance to be the next biggest ppv stars in ufc. And thats what some people don't understand, budget copies will never become true super star. Was Mike tyson trying to be a low budget copy of Muhammed ali? no he was himself and so he became the biggest ppv star of his time. Was delà Hoya a copy of Chavez? No he was himself so he became the biggest ppv star of his time. Same thing with pacquiao, canelo, Ronda rousey and broke lesnar, none of those stars were trying to be low budjet copy of an other fighter And perriera is the same, he is scary and captivating to the public and his persona is authentic, and he is capable of capturing the imagination of the fans like only special fighters in history were able too.

I gotta say, his kicks are insanely fast, and you almost never see them coming. On the other hand, Jiri having his arms so low against a KO artist has to be one of the lowest fight IQ things I’ve seen 😅😂.

[@sakarpahari3286]

I believe Alex hit him with a powerful left kick to the body in the first round. I believe that’s what he might have expected, a liver kick. Having said that, Jiri also has a tendency to drop his hand, and he was also super compromised just a minute ago. Alex is just that good and intelligent I believe.

[@donatelloDoesmachines13]

Jiri seems low IQ to be honest.

My friends, I have to tell you some truths, the only ones with a chance of fighting or beating this guy are the heavyweights. There is no other man, other than the heavyweights, who can give him any kind of exciting or difficult fight. He's a different type, he's a different species. Not even Jon Jones, who is the GOAT in this category, used to submit his opponents this way in title fights, it's incredible what this man does. And if I could give one piece of advice to Jamahal Hill, or Ankalaev, it's that don't face this guy again, you'll end up worse than Jiri Prochazka, especially because he's better than you, and both fights ended that way, that we all saw!
