Jones have dealt with knock out artist before. However, Pereira is a lot more than that. His leg kicks or calf kicks is almost as deadly as his left hook. Jones will be feeling those a lot if he fails to get the fight on the ground. And his striking Is on a whole another level than anyone Jones has faced In his prime. Except Jones isn't even In his prime anymore. And he hasn't been active since his title fight against Gane. Which was more than a year ago. So If the fight is on the feet, that means it will be a striking match. And if it is a striking match, It will most likely be a kickboxing fight. Which will give Pereira a big advantage, and end up with Jones sleeping on the floor Inside 1 or 2 rounds.

My two cents: The obvious things are his bone density, rapid firing neurons, confidence, incredible power and high level skill set. The part that's harder to define is the Magic aspect. He has a powerful aura, he seems to be directly plugged into the universe and thus things tend to work out for him. It has to do with one's frequency that is accumulated over a lifetime, or possibly multiple lifetimes. Solid human. I struggle to make the same argument for Jon, I think in his case it is raw talent, a mean attitude, great utilization of his reach advantage, strength and whatever he was taking.

[@willyword3413]

word

[@brenosantos4756]

The Magic aspect that both has in common is a harder mentality over the others... For Jon... he would make everything necessary to guarantee the victory... for example the oblique kicks... the drugs... the psycho one... Jon "Bones" Jones... For Pereira is his calm over the pressure... many crumbles... but he stays calm and he is precise... with his hooks... and counter punches... You will see that in many high level competitions... most of the guys are in the same level... but the one that has a harder mentality over the pressure and adversities... eventually wins more often than not...

Possibly even a showcase of how it can be a constructive as well as destructive force, depending on our intention and application.

[@sandmanenters4187]

@@Ishbikes Hehe seems he was, partially, but it's not black magic if he's doing it to reach his destiny and better his life and the lives of those closest to him. Black magic is when you practice it solely with selfish intention, with disregard for others. If that was the case with Alex, he wouldn't have been so quick to try and help Jiri up after the KO. He's a good dude. People say he is so hard to read, but to me it seems like he's smiling all the time, he just does it with his energy, not his mouth. We all practice magic everyday through speaking. One part of what magic is, is just cymatic frequency (sounds) plus intention. Prayer is magic too. Saying bless you when someone sneezes or wishing someone a happy birthday... This is why it's called spelling, when we teach kids what "sounds" look like when written down.

Ok, you will talk more about the subject. But, if there is Poatan vs JJ, it will be in the heavyweight division.

And for now, I will just stick with these two observations.

Fair enough. I do respond with these two things. JJ has arguably a better lower kick than Poatan. That oblique kick that hyper extends the opponents dominant leg. Very interesting to see that.

I think it will be difficult for Pareira to win against Jones because Pareira's ground fighting skills are a bit lacking... but if Jones dares to accept the challenge from Tom Aspinal, it will be very interesting and if Jones can win then it is appropriate for Jones to be called P4P #1 in the world as Dana said... because a P4P #1 will never refuse to fight anyone who dares to challenge him, not like a chicken running away from a wolf...

Hey Chael, I will give you this one for free Pereira is the new Mcgregor. A striker with the touch of death in his left hand. A game built around it, using kicks to set it up. Comes blazing through the sport and is quickly in a title shot, suceeds agaisnt one of the divisions Goat, his rival. Later moves up a devision and captures the belt as well. Steps in short notice, carries big cards, fights injured.The only thing he didn't do was go off boxing, instead is just continuing where Connor should have never left, avoiding the same professional mistakes.

[@mrt445]

Why doesn't Pereira fight Aspinal and the winner faces Jones???

[@chiquita683]

Aspinal was asked to fight Poatan at UFC 300 to headline and Tom said no, he would wait for Jones. So Hill stepped up and Poatan defended his belt instead of fighting for thr interim. Tom overplayed his hand like Gane

[@igcarvalhaes_]

Why would you fight for an interim belt as a LHW Champion who gives tons of money to the UFC? If I was Alex I would only fight for the HW Belt.

[@deathbeforedishonor1931]

@@igcarvalhaes_ when Alex was the glory middleweight champion after defending his belt like 4 times he went up to light heavyweight and get an interim belt and became the first glory two division champ and when the undisputed champ became available again Alex took him out and unified the belts. Then made his way to the UFC. So honesty going up to heavyweight and potentially getting toms belt and the reunifying it against jones and becoming a three division champ is kind of poetic.

[@igcarvalhaes_]

@@deathbeforedishonor1931 you got a point but I don't think he wanna waste time with interim, he is almost 37. Also I think he has credit with Dana White to ask for the HW Belt against Jones, he saved 2 UFC events

@@igcarvalhaes_ all true, I see a lot of people saying he needs to defend light heavyweight a few more times first but like you said he’s stepped up and saved 2 high profile UFC paper views.

Jones is afraid of Aspinall. That’s the fight, but Jones is afraid of him and he should be. Aspinall is bigger, faster, hits harder and is better on the ground. Dana won’t book that fight. Ninety nine percent of Jon Jones wins has an asterisk after it.

[@RafitoOoO]

People underestimate Alex's experience. Yeah, he changed sports, but it's not like his previous sport isn't relatable. He didn't change from basketball to tennis. If you sum both his records he has 46 fights total, almost double of what Jon Jones has, that's why he looks so calm and stoic, he's just used to it, for him it's just another one.

Pereira is getting better each fight and at his age that crazy. So many fighters at his age starts declining. He keeps evolving. Pereira vs jones would be a good fight. Hopefully after the stipe fight he does a last one vs pereira.

[@wogdog2206]

Jones is fighting Stipe. Then he is likely to fight Aspinal. I think this is generally the consensus. Pereira won't wait that long for a shot at Jones without fighting in between. My view is, perhaps he fights Ankalaev so there's no dispute about him dominating LHW, then maybe he fights for the BMF (its its possible for a weight that suits both fighters at the time), or maybe be cuts back down to re-fight Izzy so that gets put to bed. If he wins those fights, there's no choice but the Jones super-fight I would say. Anyway, I am not expert obviously. I would be keen on this progression however.

[@nemesissam2613]

Uncle Chael few videos ago: you’ll hear some clueless analysts say things like styles make fights. They don’t know anything about the sport . Uncle Chael today: Ankalaev has a style that changes the dynamic of this fight.

[@vaishnavguvvala3346]

"I have the foggiest idea of what Periera has that other guys don't". Imo, the ability to not telegraph his shots. Main his kicks, no telegraph except the head kick (which is the least telegraphed head kick I've seen). And not to mention the power. If Chael was serious about the question that's my take on it.

[@viniciusdeoliveira5869]

Poatan, Aspinal and Ngannou will be the stains on Jones' intended GOAT status if he never fights them

[@sergiommeirelles]

Hey Chael, just adding a point: Jones is the favorite, but I think his cardio is his weakness. Pay attention to his breathing in the last fight after the first round, he's not that athletic. If there's a way to defeat him, Alex should tank him for 2 or 3 rounds to tire him out.

[@thewalkingjuju]

I'm with Dana on this one for Alex Pereira. Clean out the light heavyweight division while getting PAID, and then contemplate moving up to heavyweight. There's an inherent cost with Alex's health being the currency, in moving to heavyweight exclusively due to the crazy weight cut necessary to defend the middleweight title.

[@EveK-North]

If Jon can make it down to 205, and capture that belt against Alex, it would be crazy! But Alex moving up to HW against Jon is a horrible idea. He will have a small chance to win, but the odds are that Jon takes him down, wrestle Fs him and likely submitting in the first or second. Jon may be able to do the same at 205, but he certainly can at this larger frame. Anything but Tom Aspinall for Jon would be disappointing (assuming both make it past their next opponent). It would be fun to see Israel make a move up to 205 and win again.

[@gamma4053]

His frame is bigger than Jon, he is taller than Jon.

[@EveK-North]

@@gamma4053 I think they’re both 6’4” and Jon has the longer reach. Still, if it stays standing, I can see Alex making it a good show. But Jon will press forward and take him down. He’ll be 15 pounds larger than Alex (minimum) and has superior wrestling. There’s a reason the odds makers have Jon as a -800 favorite against Alex.
