Alex: That’s guy is going to be sitting at a bar drinking vodka saying I beat that guy one time!

[@beaualoevv]

izzy a twig knocked him tf out stiff. bounced his head off the canvas like a basketball. boz0 living in the past happened 10 years ago in different sport. ducked ankaliev 3 times

​@@beaualoevvizzy such a frail skinny girl. How tf did he knock the man of stone? Alex must be weak chinned

"They not like me, they not Izzy" There's levels to this shit...

[@FkTheUFC]

He’s not saying that Izzy is better or worse. In terms of striking accolades, Adesanya is not on Poatan’s or Vakhitov’s level.

CHAMA 🔥 left hook 2nd round tko

[@imsbwings]

1st

[@kidcarlos1998]

This fight will be Alex's first time fighting a non former Champion since Bruno Sliva. WOW!!!

[@codyconnell6510]

Small nitpick but Sean was a future champion when he fought him. But I argue it’s a more impressive feat to beat a future champion.

[@HashSlingerJesse]

Alex fights as often as kickboxers and muay Thai fighters, he hides from no man and is putting in a wild amount of fights. Its crazy to me how he trains and is learning rapidly, while doing hella interviews and features on videos. This man is a beast

[@beaualoevv]

literally ducked ankaliev 3 times. anklaiev has to fight down the rankings while being the number one contender lol. how casuals don’t see that he has favorable matchups. jiri and hill both came off 2 year long injury… decision against 40y old blachowicz

[@LazyMotivationChannel]

​@beaualoevv Ankalaev could've fought at 300, he'd rather just push a narrative for people like you to glaze

@@beaualoevvAlex doesn’t get to choose opponents casual! This is UFC not boxing

[@mariaromo5219]

Khalil Rountree Said in the press conference that he has a new move and he will name the move after the fight. It’s probably a round kick or spinning round elbow so he can name it Khalil Roundkick. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@kk35-nif]

And new LH champion

[@UFCInvestor]

I hope Alex uses black magic again to win

[@a_ya5555]

Worst ppv of the year. Pereria fighting number 8

[@FkTheUFC]

He already beat most of the top fighters in the division. Unlike Ankamedov who doesn’t have any top 5 wins🙂

[@reinaldosantos6165]

Poatan vai ganhar no 1 raud

[@nickster3008]

These kind of champs are great foe the sport . Some champs from Ali’s management were a joke

[@nickster3008]

Head kick will win this fight

[@pheleekseh1391]

If canelo can learn English, then sk can these Brazilian fighter with their Portuguese 😅😅

[@syedfawaz8090]

Alex saying that Khalil lost to Jacoby is kind of ironic considering he lost to Jan and received a title shot.

[@fubey8x]

are you dumb? lol

[@jdogg1523]

Had the fight been 5 rds jan woulda eventually gotten knocked out he was already getting peiced up

[@bornmenu]

True😂

[@langmanneh4719]

He beat Jan wtf are you talking about? He also KO'd Jacoby in kickboxing.

[@FkTheUFC]

He lost to Jan? When?

[@nyashnader1]

Why is pereira starting to sound French?

[@IsenathiDyantyi]

running away from Ankalaev 🏃

[@FkTheUFC]

Running from who?

[@jjlee13]

He is a duck like Jones. 🦆

[@toysrus2413]

Yeah i keep calling him out in these comment sections but you don't see him replying do you? He don't want this smoke

[@artemyelfimov5662]

Bro, Ankolaev couldn’t make the fight by end of year. So they keeping him busy. He ain’t ducking lol

[@jayn6943]

How is he ducking when Ank was the one that turned the fight down in the beginning of the year??

[@TheDylbot5000]

Who's ducking? Ankalaev turned down 303, only wanted to fight in Abu Dhabi previously, also turned down another opportunity because of Ramadan. Ankalaev sooks like a little girl lol, Pereira shows up and fights

[@jjlee13]

And Dana gonna give Alex a rematch if ever he Is defeated by Rountree 🤣 UFC is protecting their golden duck egg.
