@@paragon1782 he’s clearly better than the average fighter he’s a 4X champion in large organizations. I’ve looked up his titles they are the real large organizations. All his fights aren’t mismatches with fights with few fights. Some of those fights are cause it comes from reality show rivalry’s or just last minute fights he took. The guy is a legit world champion with some of his titles coming from ISKA. This guys breakdown makes a lot more sense in boxing than kickboxing. I’m a multiple time amateur state champion I’m boxing and I help train mma fighters and you can’t compare the styles it’s not the same. Tates style fits kickboxing. Kickboxers on average are better at kicking than punching tates boxing is actually above average for elite kickboxers. The pull back is seen much more in kickboxing cause of you can do that over blocking every kick why wouldn’t you reduce the impact.

[@Krlja]

Like i said in one of videos dedicated to him before getting jumped by his fans, he's a good fighter, but in my opinion, people calling him "elite" is disrespectful towards real top fighters out there. But then again, in same comment section, those people revealed that they don't even know who Pereira is, even though the dude's been trending for a while now, so yeah. And as far as MMA goes, i think he'd get mauled by any half decent fighter out there, unless he has some secret elite grappling skills, because we know that UFC currently has far superior stand up fighters. And before i get jumped again, this ain't a knock on the guy, he clearly is an above average when it comes to fighting, but gotta be realistic, based on the footage that exists of him fighting.

[@bradanderson4192]

He literally said that BJJ would not work on him in a street fight because he would "bite his way out of a triangle" or "bite a chunk off your leg if you armbar him", which is probably enough to tell you everything about his grappling skills (or lack thereof).

[@Krlja]

@@bradanderson4192 Hahah i didn't see that, that's epic. It's a lot worse than i thought then. Wouldn't have thought that someone like him who prides himself in practicing martial arts would have said something so ignorant. I love when people think that an eye poke or a bite or a scratch will make someone with half decent bjj skills, let alone a professional, loosen the grip. Like Bas Rutten said once, first imma snap your neck, and then i'll say "ow my eye"

[@Krlja]

@Malik I agree, however, Tate isn't multiple people. So he'd get destroyed on the ground in one on one, and even faster if whoever he fought saw him trying to bite, pinch or scratch

[@bradanderson4192]

@@Krlja Do you think an elite female MMA fighter with a grappling background, eg. someone like Kayla Harrison, could beat in him in a fight, or would his size and strenght advantage + his kickboxing skills be insurmountable? I'm asking because it would be pretty funny to see it happen due to the bullshit he spewed about how not even the best female MMA fighter on the planet can beat an untrained men her same size.

[@Krlja]

​@@bradanderson4192 Untrained men, absolutely, i'd say. I mean even when you look at that controversial case with Fallon Fox, that dude was a trained athlete even before he transitioned into female category (even though nowhere near great), and he still got pounded by Ashlee Evans, so i'd say a completely untrained dude would get beat up by most of top/elite female fighters, especially ones that are same weight as them. Now, that being said, he is trained in kick boxing, and has weight advantage, but i think Kayla ain't really small either, so i wouldn't write her off. Especially now that he's out of training. The reason why i brought up Fallon Fox is because that's who i'd compare Tate to. He's not an elite, but not a rookie either, and as we saw, even when you train, there's gonna be at least one chick you run into that's gonna be able to beat you up. I think the problem is that many people like him aren't aware of this new breed of women fighters. They're monsters lol. To be honest, if he said he'd bite his way out of a rear naked choke, and that no elite female mma fighter can beat any man ever, it just shows that he hasn't really been paying attention to fighting world, apart from those small scale kick boxing tournaments he was a part of

[@kingflores8915]

I’ve seen many clips on KZbin of Tate, he’s definitely someone you shouldn’t take seriously, definitely playing a character, and he does it good, but I’ve been skeptical of his actual fighting skill, he looks good, but if you have 47 fights there’s no way you should be fighting someone with only 5 and they’re not 5-0! Now I don’t know the background maybe it was a tournament but that’s not a good look, combats sports are known for padded records, so I wouldn’t be surprised! But that don’t mean he’s a bad fighter Andrew Tate fans lol, don’t get that mistaken! EDIT: 75-9 against someone’s who debuting professionally? 🤣🤦🏽‍♂️ my god! I’ll be back if there’s anything worse!

​@@TheBoredGamer69420 Both Vincent Petitjean fights were good, he lost the first in an 8 round fight, but then in their 2nd fight he won a 12 round fight. Jamie Bates and Wendell Roche both considered beasts. Wendell Rouche before Tate hadn't been KO'd and Jamie Bates was undefeated before Tate KO'd him too. Sahak Parparyan, although Tate lost, was still a good fight, and Tate dominated in the earlier rounds before losing through decision. There are others too, like I remember watching him beat Fang Bian, who was on a 19 long winning streak in China before Tate won via decision, unfortunately many of his fights are lost to record and most of his fights simply weren't broadcasted.

Four time world champion he's definitely good to be able to be consistent

[@truthteller8730]

world champ? his bio on his website says three/four time, his gym bio says five time, wiki says two time and you say three time. if you look on his website he seems to have each time fought for vacant titles. i.e. never beat a champion and of his three times being iska world champion managed one successful title defense. something just doesn't add up.

[@user-ey4ut9uc8w]

@@truthteller8730 there’s a lot of obscure promotions out there that hold “world champ” belts. Nowadays, most are legit and sanctioned but obviously they don’t all have the same worth. I can actually believe he held those titles and while it’s not at the elite level, it’s still very impressive.

Tate has a detatched retina so even his glove getting squished up against the eye can seriously fuck him up. Therefore he made a decision to take the risk of having a hands down style and have much better vision. And a headmovement orientated style. Now imagine having that many fights with such an awkward and frowned upon style, risking being blinded in 1 eye, the mans a G.

[@jimmynesbit1803]

He fought no one and your giving him credit for his bull shit injury he made up to sound bad ass instead of him looking like he ran in every fight against cans

Stay small, or should i say, stay obese on your couch judging from afar when I bet you dont even have the balls to step into the ring vs trained fighters.

The point of fighters switching stances is so true...its always for no reason as well, switch one strike and switch back

I disagree. Switching stances can be very important Amanda Nunes went southpaw her second fight against pena instead of Orthodox and it proved very affective

he didn't look like a champion, he looked like a guy who hand picked his competition to pad the stats. Mayweather definitely hand picked his competition especially toward the end to keep his precious -0 alive and well. But Mayweather was a champion, I don't think Tate was, but hopefully he can get his next shot while in prison.

[@soyburglar77]

Honestly, it seems like maybe he’s just good enough that he can make his career part of his lore and his origin story…but certainly nowhere near the level he claims to exist at. He also talks a lot of sh*t about how dominant and “alpha” he is around others, but there’s tons of footage of him interacting with other people on reality shows and whatnot and he’s like a church mouse. I am of the believe that Tate is laughing all the way to the bank. If you watch his appearance on Tom Segura’s podcast, you’ll very clearly see the character he’s playing in all its glory and they just can’t stop laughing at everything he says. If he was the true monster/idiot everyone claims he is, there’s no chance Christina P wouldn’t call him out. However, he’s also not NOT that guy, either. I think he’s believing his own hype a little bit and to what degree? I suppose we’ll have to wait and see…which is precisely what he’s counting on. You can’t knock the guy’s hustle.

[@notproductiveproductions3504]

He has explained why he keeps his hands sort of low, with his eye condition he says he can't be hit in the face and eye area too much covering up etc. So he keeps his hands away from his face in order to he able to see his opponent and his strikes better. I'm not sure if this is totally accurate or true, but that's more or less how he explains it in his video with Mike Thurston. Great vid bro
