if they just have Alex continue to work on takedown defense and defensive grappling overall, he is already a kickboxing legend so gonna be very hard to beat. Of course he has a deficit w the grappling but he got taken down in three UFC fights now, got back up and won all 3, two by KO. And we all know what happened when he fought Strickland, who dared to try to stand with Alex. First round KO.

[@KingdomOfDimensions]

Honestly best case scenario for Alex is he gets an immediate rematch with Izzy. That would give him time to keep working on his grappling with Teixeira. Then if he wins and he fights the winner of Whittaker vs Costa he'd have a step up in grappling challenge but not to the highest level. That'd give Pereira another year to work on his grappling before fighting a pure wrestler like Khamzat or Bo. If that happens he could be champ for a while.

Only 1 word to Describe Peirera KILLER

[@neilbondad9477]

I saw the match between Adesanya and Pereira. Yes Adesanya is a better in terms of offense, has a better ground game, and more experienced inside the cage. But Pereira is also a good striker, a 2 division champion in Glory MMA, he has knock out power with both hands which is far devastating than what Adesanya possess, Alex is very tough some fighters could have gone down when hit the way he did but he refuses to go down instead it motivated him more to finish Adesanya. Also one thing Alex is more focus and hungrier than Israel. Alex is also taller and has more muscle mass than Israel, I think that also play an important part during the fight since Israel is not always exposed in fighting bigger opponents and since they have fought twice in the past already Alex team did their homework better than Israel's team, Alex team gave him the best program leading to the fight.

[@SKSimeon]

Izzy fight costa tho who was way bigger tho shorter

Not rly, Alex is better in offensively, Adesanya, most of the times, is a Counter Attack fighter, and he is awesome into that. 2 mistake: Alex isn't taller, they are both same height and in fact Adesanya have 2cm more than Alex in wingspread. In the end, Alex is thougher, more focused and better than Adesanya, and deep down Adesanya knows it.

Def my fav fighter now especially after watching the helwani interview, he's so chill even though he's a literal tribal killer

[@joshuapongase6750]

That Periera's death stare can easily change the mood in just a second.

[@chrish8487]

I am not a fan of Izzy, but Izzy put up a damn good fight and he was close to winning. I've been very critical of Izzy and his boring decision wins, but when his back is against the wall, he performs.

[@samgibson684]

If he would have focused on finishing instead of running around for the last few years, he would have had a chance....

[@seanhammer6296]

How many times have we seen the champ lose this year? And in the 4th round even.

[@AFCADaan9]

Volk is so wrong. Izzy didn’t get caught. Alex broke Izzy down and then finished him. Alex got caught in the first round(he was winning the round until then), clearly won the 2nd and Izzy got lucky with the reversal(not even a real takedown) in the 3rd , which made Alex gassed for the 4th. Alex is just better than Izzy.

[@dontedupree]

You literally just said Izzy was up 3-1 going into the 5th. The problem with the fight is that Izzy looked like the better fighter and Alex looked like the much bigger fighter.

[@roflswamp6]

@@dontedupree looks aren't the same as is tho if u watch in slow mo with no commentary it was less close than I realized at first Alex systematically outclassed and finished izzy and has more heart

[@dominiquewilson]

Adesanya was winning the entire fight before the stoppage. He was dominating that entire fight. Same way in kickboxing. Adesanya was winning those fights too. He just got caught

[@StacksSmith505]

I didn’t see that

[@realcane9908]

I don’t think pereira was very gassed I think he threw away rd 4 on purpose

[@paulchurchill5045]

That is some major 'Cope' from Izzy but i guess it is kind of understandable given Izzy's previous dominance & suffering his 3rd loss to the same man. He will always be a legend no matter what though!

[@lonemaus562]

I like the rivalry.. but it’s hard to call it that when it’s 3-0.. he’s got his number

I love his fight and want to see him winning all the time. Wish him all the best in future. ❤❤❤❤

[@AkshayBhavsar1989]

Perrira is fucking inspiring. He’s like a jungle panther, stalking his prey quietly in the shadows and then strikes

[@LungZ762]

I think that the takedown is giving ppl a false sense of his abilities. He wasn't game planning Izzy taking him down. I don't think Whitaker gets him down and possibly gets kod. Alex would fight tall and long. The power is twice or even more of Izzy... would be a bad night for Robert.

[@neilbondad9477]

Many fighters will exploit Alex ground game and I know he's team knows this already. It would be great to see an Alex Periera Version 2.0, a Poatan with a ground game. Remember the great George St. Pierre who at first is a pure striker but developed his ground game and became a welter weight king for a long time and even became a one time middle weight by beating Michael Bisping. If Alex develops his ground game and utilize it effectively then it would be years before someone could beat him or when he is at the twilight of his career maybe close or after 40 years old.

[@edliyai6873]

He might even move weight classes and still thrive at Lightheavyweight. Dude walks around at 220

Glover will teach me ground game it will come

Way after the bell that punch was almost in round 2.

I think Whittaker is crazy to think he can take Alex. I would not be surprised if he was smoked early in the first round.

[@huh2597]

perfect height to eat knees

[@daxster25]

huh? Whittaker out of everyone at 185 has the best chance

[@truthseekerKJV]

@@daxster25 I don't see Whittaker lasting more than one round before Alex catches him with a left or that knee.

You can call psycho of those fighters who refused to stop beating the opponent even the ref has stopped that match.

[@mustwatchtv8134]

The world at times just doesn't make sense. Imagine a man who consistently beat people but just this one guy who others could beat he has your number.

[@jesusjrhinlo74]

Izzy did not seek revenge for his 2 kickboxing losses to Alex. Izzy transferred to MMA and become champion for a long time until Alex challenged and beat him again in Izzy's MMA new world.

[@gcoffey223]

@@FkTheUFC AP doesn't have grappling, and Rob has been working very hard on that area. Khamzat has undeniable grappling skills, and no matter what, minus a lucky knee or left hook, Alex gets mauled by a wolf. 98% chance Borz wins, Rob is at 70% in my opinion.
