UFC 303 Reaction: Alex Pereira is someone ‘very special’ - Teddy Atlas | ESPN MMA

[@rj_nbk]

there’s WAYYYY too many people talking about Izzy ko’ing alex tonight. Alex is wiping divisions while Izzy is sitting on the couch diddling his dog and saying “I beat that guy one time.”

😂. Izzy tryin to get relevant again as ppl move on from him. Alex ko d him twice won 3 times is a 2 division champ to izzys 1 beat all the guys izzy lost to and now going for 3 divisions. Izzy. "Give me dricus".

nice to see teddy atlas on the ufc roster!!

[@Eddiefkndiff]

The way he got Knocked out by Izzy would’ve folded lesser men but this guy gave him his flowers no excuses brushed it off and went about his business and won a whole other title. What makes Alex so special also is how efficient his game is everything is tactical and deliberate this dude is amazing plain and simple.

[@butonghit]

Also Alex doesn't even make a big deal of winning title fights. He just brushed off and trains with glover

[@matheussantiago5128]

Ofc he wouldn't, he already beat Izzy a milion times and he was also killing himself to make that weight, Alex is the man!!!

This guy Teddy Atlas just did the best breakdown of alex that I’ve ever seen. It’s funny that a lot of mma commentators say that Alex has a lot of flaws in his technique, but they just don’t understand how he use his eyes

[@thegambler1892]

Teddy Atlas worked with Cus D'Amato and trained a young Tyson, once during a conflict he put a gun to Tyson's head and almost shot him. After that he left there and they reconciled only in 2013, 33 years later.

[@DanDan-he2vw]

Teddy is the best in understanding combat sports, a legend

[@Razear]

Alex for sure has the most intimidating stare. But he also has a scary mean mug in general.

[@johnathancena5067]

shoutout teddy for being a lifetime boxing guy and embracing the UFC meanwhile a lot of old school boxing guys try to dismiss the UFC all the time

[@MrBeepbope]

Just right hand to the face is not enough. He Clipped several fighters that had the right hand up with the vertical fist. Same he used on Jamal Hill. Took Adesanya 3 losses and a near death to learn the only way is to pretend you are hurt and prey he will fall on the trap. but even that may not work anymore. His rate of success over Adesanya on 84kg is 75%. On 93kg he would punch the flesh out Adesanya's bones

[@Iyengar7]

Perfect take

[@vinorevi]

Yup, what people don't see is he does one thing repeatedly, conditions your mind to that, then does the opposite. Body punch - Left hook, Calf kick - head kick. Also he doesn't waste strikes, he just sets the trap and launches at the perfect time just like a hunter.

[@martinjames6148]

[@Carl-ir8ix]

Perfect breakdown Teddy

[@JaredHettler]

Alex is the smartest and most intelligent striker I have seen since Anderson Silva. Silva did the same thing. He was analyzing you and setting you up for something since the first minute of the fight, and as soon as you thought you knew what to look out for, you didn't. Just ask Vitor Belfort.

[@calvinhu8214]

[@jotarokujo7955]

The only fight that makes sense is Aspinall vs Pereira (if Aspinall wins the interim). Strip Jon Jones and let them fight for the belt

[@ocanaldojj]

He just said in the press conference that it was an impact thing on the top of his foot on the area that landed on Jiri's head He said usually he starts limping once the adrenaline wears off but he was feeling alright after the fight Chama 🔥🗿

[@562XXXXX]

Wait, why is everyone talking about izzy??? Izzy hasn’t been relevant since before Strickland. Pereira has succeeded where adesanya couldn’t. There is absolutely no point in bringing up that washed middleweight up anymore.

I remember the days when Bo Nickal was talking about being able to easily win against Alex and I could see that at the time because of how dominant wrestling can be. But when you're THIS good at distance management and space, you're never even gonna get to him. And if you do get close you seriosuly risk getting twenty years taken off of your brain.
