Who Wins Alex Pereira vs Jiri Prochazka?!?! | Henry Cejudo Breaks Down Poatan's LHW Debut!

Alex’s career has been the most driven in the UFC? What other fighter especially a former champion in another organization with so many matchups and storylines in 2 different divisions. Crazy. I hope he pulls it off💯

[@Mazjk22]

Yeah I dunno why Cejudo comes off so salty here. Probably because of his wrestling background and he thinks Alex's wrestling should be exposed. That, and I am sure he sees weaknesses in Pereira's game that he kind of alludes to with how hittable he is down the middle for one thing. I just think Henry is a little off the mark in this criticism because Pereira has shown an ability to compete at the highest levels and he's a big draw with his pedigree and the fact that he could knock anyone in the world out with that left hook. It sucks for other fighters who have maybe paid more dues but let's face it- MW was stale and Pereira is exciting at LHW so pay the man his money and let the UFC sell PPVs cuz the fans are loving it

[@diogo88387]

​@@Mazjk22you're right. Jiri fought only two times before the title shot in UFC, for example.

[@JRF1004]

The UFC didn’t give him a favorable matchup at all, in fact it was one of his toughest matchups in the whole roster, a guy that could out strike Israel Adesanya and take him down consistently, and he beat him, even more impressive cause he beat a Jan that came to wrestle, not strike

[@sonnysad905]

That could’ve been a gamble or a 1000iq by the UFC matchmakers. High Risk High Reward. They still got the storyline thing going with Izzy at MW. Wouldn’t say Jan did the JOB for Alex, but he definitely was setup

Jan did not show up to wrestle. He did for 1 round and dominated that round, he did not even try to wrestle after that. After that he was gassed to hell and Alex could not finish him, while getting hit by a completely gassed Jan. Alex problem is he has 0 defense. His defense is to stand straight up and lean back a bit, which works when everyone is smaller then you.

[@beyondthesacrosanctbreeze]

@@mintoure4 I like Jan but he's part of the welcoming committee for light heavy weight. Except this time he had a legit killer in Alex. Before this he welcomed Luke rockhold and finished him. He welcomed Izzy and dominated him on the ground. He was hoping for the same results, but we all know Alex has dynamite in his hands and all it takes is one hit. He can also weather a storm better than Izzy and is hard to put away. Again, I like Jan I think he's awesome, but a lot of his recent wins are against weaker opponents. When he faces real adversity, aka Glover, Magomed, Alex, Jiri, Hill, he will fade after getting tired and receiving too much damage.

I really enjoy some of the comments below the video. When Jiří was first supposed to fight in the UFC, I read all the comments about how a noname fighter gets a smack in the face because he's fighting someone in the top 15 who also has grenades in his hands. When he was supposed to fight his second fight, people wrote about how he's going to get beat because he's facing the guy who "beat" Jon Jones. When he was supposed to fight for the title, people were writing about how he wouldn't survive a second because he'd be on the ground getting choked out. And now, he's gonna get smacked because he couldn't KO his last opponent... I'm not a dumbass and I don't need to show how any fighter gets smacked.

This is that fight we saw coming once Alex got his title shot at 185 after beating Strickland. There was a possibility of Alex beating Israel in MMA becoming MW champ, eventually move up just like he did in kickboxing & fight the 205 champion (at this time Jiri who was also another champion from a different organization that quickly became champion in UFC) to become a double champ again. Obviously it didn't pan out as a champ versus champ fight, we still get Jiri vs. Alex @ 205

[@jrusstrevenant1092]

I do think this match is hard to predict. Alex is way active than Jiri. But if you look at their wins, Jiri has a lot of KO/TKO wins than KO/TKO wins of Alex (even on Glory combined). Jiri only had one UD win, Alex has a lot of UD in Glory. Both are hard punchers, and are huge. It could be 50/50.

Alex was definitely given an easy path at 185 but I don't agree with that at 205. Despite his Muay Thai background, Jan is a strong wrestler and the expectation before the fight was that he would just wrestle and dominate Alex like he did with Izzy. Honestly, if the UFC just wanted to fast-track him and set up big fights, I wouldn't have put it past them to give him an immediately title shot against Jiri or Jamahal, who are both more favourable matchups than Jan on paper.

Its all about believing in yourself more than anything and when you do you put the work and knowledge into your body preparing. Just like Justin said after beating Dustin after loosing to him in the past. Alex done way better defending the takedown than what people are giving him credit for considering he still got up and had more gas in his tank than his opponent. No one better count him out, hes still learning, wanting to learn, and also knows he is better than what haters want to believe. I believe he will be even better his next fight no matter how it goes you will still see a difference. Alex and Izzy just need to move on, new stars are coming.

[@TheQuietTimes]

Firstly, I will say that I 100% agree that the UFC 'fast-tracked' Alex by giving him favorable matchups that line up with his skillset and mostly avoid his deficits. And there is something to be said about not having to run the gamut of fighters to reach the top, because we haven't gotten to see much of how he deals with different styles of fighters. But this is just how things go sometimes. But what I love about Jiri vs Alex is that it isn't the typical juxtaposition that we see where it's 'striker vs grappler', or purely a matter of "power vs technique". We're seeing two guys, who almost exclusively would prefer to strike in that MMA/kickboxing range... But their approaches to striking, movement/footwork, and defense are almost entirely different. And while Jiri is certainly more well-rounded, we all know the 'samurai' in Jiri is going to want to 'clash swords' (so to speak) and test his skills against Alex, who's mostly seen as a specialist/one-trick. This is either good ng to end reasonably quickly, or it's going to be one of the greatest striking matches of all time.

[@jordanhenderson3812]

I think the latter, as long as Jiri comes healthy and in a good mindset

jan is a coward, deserves that loss

[@GuerillaCatty73]

@@draco2xx No, he now knew the Pereira legends were true, he was struggling, and he did what you do to win it by decision, which he deserves if Poatan can't finish him. No eye pokes, illegal strikes, and still clever enough to hide a TD from someone ready to put a knee in your face when you attempt them. Some nice strikes of his own and probably insightful enough to realise, Poatan has probably been working on how to knock someone out on his back. And despite everything working against him, he was there at the end, unwobbled. I'm not sure it's brave to hand yourself over on a plate. That sounds more like stupidity to me.

Jiri all day. Causals talking about a striking fight between these two and how kickboxing champ Alex is better. Jiri is a well-rounded fighter that just happens to kill most standing. Meanwhile, Alex is learning the ground game from a guy that already got submitted by Jiri. Even his KO ratio is better than Pereira's. Pereira will also be a smaller guy with no reach advantage unlike in midweight. Jiri was Rizin champ prior to UFC, and beat guys like Nemkov (using cardio as a weapon!). This will be a spectacle, otherwise easy fight for Jiri.

You're acting like Jiri is not hittable, he's so hittable.

[@Marwan-uv1fc]

Jamal hill vs jiri or Alex needs to wait

[@Runnit12]

The ufc has made sure to keep Pereira away from elite wrestlers/grapplers.

[@OGfps94]

Jiri is going to make Alex look like a lightweight Potan is not ready for Jiri

[@oreocookies5838]

People saying alex beat jan and maybe he did but hahahaha that fight was total crap hahahaha jiri will put so much pressure on him he will just quit. He looked exausted against jan in a 3 round fight.

[@pochigarikalavathi2714]

If Izzy fights alex at LHW I think alex wins

[@11onejay]

Jiri was getting the brakes beat off of him by an old glover

[@feetonland6609]

He would starch Paulo dude gases and is one trick pony where was that take down shit against Izzy ? He got lit tf up he keys slept

[@fangiscool1]

Tough to pick Jiri here. Jiri had one of the worst championship fights in history vs Glover. He was complete shit, for a title fight. Pereira would beat thay guy 9/10 times. But Jiri is a great athlete and has crazy power, so you never know

[@apzn1170]

Yeah, he didn't fight all of those wrestlers... but he beat Izzy, the champion. Simple as that lil guy.

[@akari146]

No one can stand striker with alex in LHW

[@lucasfernandes2099]

If the goal was really make a fight between Alex and Izzy it would be more easy to do the 3 MMA fight, not bring the guy to LHW to do later, makes no sense. Other thing, the guy doesn't rely on his power, that's nonsense, he beated Strickland, Izzy and Jan only with power?? People dont take the time to really watch his fights and make a solid analysis, they just repeat what they heard, that's shameful, even more to a UFC fighter who was double champion 🤦🏻 Last, he is not being fasttracked, otherwise he wouldn't pass these big top 4, top 3 and Champion, he would get mauled 🤷🏻 If a fighter has what it takes to beat the top fighters in the organization, he is not being favored, he is where he suposed to be.

[@Obiodum_]

Why would they do a third MMA fight at 185 when Pereira has made it abundantly clear that he was going to move up to 205 after their most recent fight? It makes sense for the fight to be at 205 IF Pereira becomes champion. Otherwise, if he wants to fight Israel at 185, he needs to fight the other contenders first before they fight again. He did get fast tracked to a title shot. He never faced any of the top 5 in Middleweight.

[@lucasfernandes2099]

@@Obiodum_ that was Dana White, he demand that from him, at some point he even ask for a 3 fight against Izzy, but they stayed in silence, Dana and Izzy.

[@superchiller123chill]

Henry talking crap about Israel again.. he's hit Alex with the same right hand in almost every bouy with him including the kickboxing ones.

[@2000_Ro]

Jiri has more tools in the shed if you know what I mean.

[@princebath1053]

Sterling has humbled you and you’re now sounding like a broken bottle 😅

[@AfroViking300]

And ive been saying Israel KOing alex was on some scared dog backed into the corner type shit n

[@jaybe5458]

Nobody should wait to fight after ko u sending signals up to your brain telling it please don’t allow me to take a hard hit like that again which is how fighters lose they chin it’s all mental

[@shamirmohammed9264]

Perriera is privileged.He would have lost had he fought wrestlers in both divisions.Ankalaev would beat Alex
