Sayif Saud is REALLY good at analysing the fighters moves and explaining it to the audience

[@benjaminrichard7741]

Very easy to digest and interpret 👏

[@craigr4763]

Is that the guy who says "kay?" every 15 seconds? It's a shame because it distracts from otherwise good analysis.

[@2GENDERS_MAN_WOMEN_CRY_ABOUTIT]

Thats it though. He is dead wrong on it analysis of what both fighters need to do to win. He talks to much for a pay check!

[@ivanvee1258]

Not at all, he’s explaining so people can bet money on Israel Adesanya. If it goes to a decision, it’s Israel’s fight. Alex Pereira by 2nd round KO or Israel Adesanya by decision.

[@WS-bk7uu]

This demonstrates just how masterful Izzy is and most people think he just jabs and runs.

[@pogejr]

Coach Saud taught my first MMA class at Octagon MMA in Dallas (around 2011/12). He was an outstanding coach and one of my best friends fought (and won) 2 fights under him. I remember during that class I had on a t-shirt with my college’s engineering school and when I was struggling with a concept he said to me “You’re an engineer right? Well you need to look at this like an engineering problem.” Made me appreciate the sport a whole lot more.

[@vegan-rising]

Same. He taught me so much about MMA. I won the IIJC MMA tournament in Ohio (around 2014/05) thanks to him. He was incredible and taught me to never give up. I remember during class he emphasized how I should look at the problem as a mechanic. It's a mechanical problem he said. I have great appreciation for the sport now. Before I just did it for the giggles.

[@draqon8094]

Alex really did get saved by the ref in the 2nd fight. No standing count in MMA if he gets hurt like that again then he’s getting knocked out.

[@bblwarrantydepartment981]

I think it really bothers Alex. I don’t think this fight will be as close as people think. Izzy level of striking may be the best in the entire UFC. And when he gets pressured his instincts and reflexes are so effortless. Never out of position twice in an exchange.

[@fullmoon__]

Adesanya tends to engage more with aggressive fighters. See how it went down with Borrachinha and Whittaker. I hope Pereira goes after him, it's gonna be a great fight. Plus, people say it's gonna be an easy KO for Alex. I'm not so sure. Their second fight is the proof of how they're balanced.

[@11lilreg11]

Israel being the most non hittable fighter in the ufc pretty much proof too

[@kiabtoomlauj6249]

@FuckMMAfans What utter gibberish. Izzy would make Alex look amateur. Alex would still have the size and power edge (indeed, it is because he walks around so much bigger that he'd struggle to make 185 and that means one day or rehydration wouldn't get him back to his normal walk around weight, leaving him weaker than Izzy, that'd make him more sluggish & easier to hit). But if you didn't know --- obviously you don't know --- that looking for hail mary one-punch KOs in the UFC against another elite is a fool's errand, then you will find out this Saturday. Alex is probably the only fighter at 185 whom Izzy doesn't have height, reach, and range advantage over; in addition, Alex is an exceptionally strong fighter. But if he wanted to be a UFC champ, he should have left Kickboxing 3-4 years ago, when Izzy left it. Now, it is too late; now he is more than 3-4 years behind Izzy in elite MMA development. In kickboxing, where there's 10 - 14 ounce gloves and standing 8 counts, Alex had the edge. As the physically stronger, he could endure more punches from those giant gloves. But even then, he's close to being KOed himself.... from a much more agile Izzy. That agility of Izzy has INCREASED, not decreased, when he transition to MMA, because in MMA there are more way to hit and to get hit, with NO standing 8 counts, separating pauses by the referee, etc. With 4 ounce gloves, and as elite fighters, whether you hit someone with a more moderate 90% power punch or a 100% power punch, if it lands, it WILL cause great harm. Izzy's MMA experience fighting against elite wrestlers (Romero, Brunson et al) and strikers (Vettori, Whittaker et al) in the last 3-4 years at the UFC will clearly show through Saturday. Alex ALWAYS will have that one-punch KO power; but the probability of landing against Izzy has DECREASED at the UFC, not increased, due to the lack of experience he has compared to Izzy, when it comes to doing elite MMA over years...

[@jaredingles6893]

@ reggie hopkins jr. what are you guys talking about? The most unhittable …. Bro nobody tried to go in on him. Costa… nope. Cannonier… nope…. The people that go in hit him. Rob…Marvin… ESPECIALLY GASTELUM!!! REMEMBER HIS FACE AFTER GASTELUM?? Polish power touched him…. You guys are absolutely trippin. Yea he gets out of shots… but nobody is throwing volume.

It’s time fans start to appreciate Izzy’s mind. He’s just so good. He is so calm that he plays out everything in his head before the fight. I wonder how he does that. If he can survive a dangerous man like Anderson Silva, I think he can cause an upset on this one

[@roflswamp6]

This made appreciate Alex and silva more and less izzy he's kinda just reliant on his physical attributes which is something only black ppl seem to be able to do since they got the best genes but I mean think about that when ur longer and stronger naturally skill matters less and when u add skill it doesn't matter past a certain point thr black will usually win its like competing for a woman us regular dudes might have to try this or that but the black dudes just have to be black and the chicks naturally pick them cause bbc it's kind of like being in a nicer car and asking other dudes to race alotnof it is just luck for being born with bbc and it's less impressive as a result

Dude if it goes past round 3 pereira will get knocked out

[@joseleonardocarvalho2871]

@@melmel1491 No, this fight won't be decided by knockout. I think it's probably very difficult that Pereira will be knocked out but we'll see

[@jordob5791]

Great breakdown. Izzy is so far beyond any of these fighters in skill. When they fought izzy outclassed him. The first fight should of been a win for Adesanya. Robbery at its finest.. Second fight was a late knockout after domination by izzy. It seems like people don't understand how far behind Pereira is in mma. There is a punchers chance of course but he needs more experience to be fighting for the belt. I am excited to see Pereira fight the other top fighters more than a title shot. Whittaker for Instance.
