DC fought people were not that so big, Stipe 230 to 240 not like 275 or something. Aspinal is almost maxing out the weight, someone like Cyril Game, are not too big, But Aspinal is really big and the size could be a problem, Jones made sure he was fully big and got used to the weight too, Izzy miscalculated when he fough Jan Blahovich and the size was too much esp in the wrestling, or clinching department. Alex needs to be as big or get strong enough to push and out muscle thise BIG guys. There is a video a of skinny guy in body building videos who can carry extremely heavy things. Like that he can match at least their size with power and everything. But if Alex match Ngannou s recording punching some machine then he could give Aspinal or any HW problem, although I think Aspinal will knock him like Izzy did the last time. But who knows, its good to have dreams and try pursue them

This match-up strikes me as very interesting. For some context, i'm a total Alex Supporter, i ought to be, I train at Glover's Gym in Danbury talked to him a few times, and just saw him inspiring 10yr kids at the gym just yesterday right before my BJJ class; I'm pretty known to MMA recent college grad previous athletic experience was in Track and also did calisthenics. I and everyone in my hometown is totally in alex's corner, and you can tell he has incredible mental strength, it's in his eyes when he stares at you, he is fearless, strong, powerful, smart and skilled, not the fasted guy and mostly a stand-up fighter but he is a legit heavyweight at 6'4 can def get as big as 240-250. I also really like Tom, and he is definitely a legit heavy weight at 6'5 and all of 265, highly skilled and much more well rounded, but Alex is that big, that powerful, and has the moment and vision to get this done. It would be Alex's job to keep it on the feet and attack Tom's legs, tho Tom's leck kicks also look really good, Tom would have to take it to the ground and use his higher level BJJ and wrestling and size and power of his own i would think, tho he can stand well to but i would give the edge to Alex on the feet

[@seiyakun7256]

If Tom goes for the Ground game Alex is dooooom on the feet Aspinal is fast for a heavyweight n has the power to knock out someone but that doesn't mean Alex has no chance against him.

[@Slit518]

240-245 is a decent weight for Heavyweight. They found that some of the best Heavyweights were around that weight and the advantages it gave over going full 265 outweighed the cons of not going to full 265. Mainly more speed and stamina with little strength loss. Alex wouldn't even have to cut, he could go in full power. A non-dehydrated, full power Alex. That might be terrifying. From Google: "According to Quora, some of the greatest MMA fighters are around 6' and 240 lbs, including Fedor, Cormier, Velasquez, and Stipe."

What happened to ddp wanting Alex … he’s on airplane mode

[@shaneyg1988]

Pereria would definitely beat a lot of HWs but Tom isn't one of them imo! Tom's ground game too strong and he's bigger. Pereria would have to advantage of the feet though probably

I mean aspinal does have a big chin 😅

[@lawrencemacd63]

Pereira hits Tom on that big chin of his it’s lights out for Aspinal 😂😂

[@TheStraightestWhitest]

Yeah like when Sergei did, right? Dude didn't even wobble. Tom hits way harder, is way faster, and doesn't get flatlined by middleweights like Poatan either. He beats the brakes off Alex.

[@ColmPadraig]

Yeah and when Aspinall hits him first it's the same result. I like Peraira but he has been knocked out at middleweight. What do you think will happen when someone as big and fast as Aspinall touches his chin does? Aspinall could just as easily randomly him and submit him too

[@bboyorc]

Some of the heavys were walking around like 230... so yeah

[@alexkuvalja6770]

Alex is capitalising as much as possible and Aspinal fight can happen somewhere in a Las Vegas freak show like Tyson- Paul. For now it is a unnecessary risk for Pereira

[@brianbutterworth6107]

How did he answer that question at 1:10 so quickly if he doesn't understand English?

Cmon, Tom would pommel him to the ground... maybe maybe if Alex had like 2-3 years to build up to HeavyWeights. But otherwise he can forget about it. Hell imagine Alex against someone like Francis or Stipe. Nope.

[@andrewSUN17]

Alex has the most powerful punch, moreso than Ngannou and has proved it, if you look it up. His hands and feet are like bricks, he has a very good chance of knocking Tom out if he moves up in a serious manner.
