The Obstacle Is The Way | The Mindset of Alex Pereira
Vložit
- čas přidán 15. 05. 2024
- Alex “Poatan” Pereira is one of the scariest men in the UFC. But he actually stumbled upon combat sports by chance as an escape from alcoholism. This chance encounter has created the Alex Pereira left hook, which is one of the deadliest punches we’ve ever seen. There have been many victims of the Alex Pereira left hook ko, both in Alex Pereira sparring and in Alex Pereira ufc.
How Stoicism made Alex Pereira a UFC champion. The story of Alex Pereira with stoic principles highlighted
Alex Pereira sparring Glover Teixeira is quite a sight, especially considering Alex Pereira’s ufc highlights. From the moment of the Alex Pereira walkout, it’s clear he has bad intentions. This was on full display in both Alex Pereira vs Sean Strickland, and Alex Pereira vs Israel Adesanya 2, which both ended by ko.
The Alex Pereira vs Israel Adesanya 2 knockout nearly ended Stylebenders career. However, despite “Poatan” being up 3-0 in the rivalry, with an Alex Pereira knockout Israel Adesanya under his belt twice, a fourth match has been booked for UFC 287. This will hopefully close the show between Alex Poatan Pereira vs Adesanya.
The Alex poatan pereira vs adesanya highlights don’t do Izzy justice, as all 3 fights have been extremely close. Izzy has typically been ahead, until he was caught. Even in the video game, Alex Poatan Pereira ufc 4, he is vicious. To Izzys credit, however, despite Israel Adesanya loses to Alex Pereira happening three times, he always picks himself up and challenges for a rematch. This has led to hopefully the final rematch: Alex Pereira to defend title vs Israel Adesanya at ufc 287.

Which books would you suggest to learn stoicism ?
Dustin Poirier pls 🙏
I really admire Pereira's mindset
Me too!
He was hungry and hungry ppl have the best motivation
@@PsychologyOfTheFight now do a video of all the times stoicism didn't work
@@00piper18000it always works if u follow it correctly
Stipe smash this guy 10 of 10 times, the real stoic one, pereira is a weight bully probably all his life.
♾️
It's refreshing to see someone in the sport who has no need to put up a front in the name of promoting a fight. He knows who he is, he doesn't need to try and be someone else
We can all strive to get to that level of true confidence and inner belief!
as a recovering alcoholic who trains boxing, Pereira is my favorite fighter. huge inspiration
" A Man conquerer the world by conquered himself "🔥💯 that is a strong statement
It's the truth brotha! "When there is no enemy within, the enemy outside can do us no harm." I've got another stoicism one coming out since you guys really liked it!
Love Alex's story. He battled his toughest opponent from the get-go...himself. The rest is all gravy for him. Let's go Poatan !!!
One thing that Pereira doesn't normally talk about, but was fundamental for his chose to stay in Kickboxing was the death of his brother.
He only talked about it about a week of his rematch with Izzy.
I love Alex Periera. He's the introverted Goat. Let's go champ.
♾
Pereira is by far, my favorite fighter, not only because he is Brazilian, but because of how humble and dedicated he is.
A really good way how you describe Stoicism with these champions.♾️
Thank you! Who else do you see it in?
After seeing his reaction to his loss to adesanya it makes me respect him more. He truly represents stoicism. Amazing video 👍
on my way to become an alcoholic
♾ great video bro, i heard about pereira 1 year ago and i was jobless and adicted to MJ, so i got inspired by his history, now i'm clean for 1 year and i got a good job. Never give up! From Belém - Pará hoping him to defend his belt here in Brasil so I can watch my hero
I love stories like that, man. "When there is no enemy within, the enemy outside can do us no harm." You beat your demons and now you go out into the world unstoppable my friend
♾️ I always like Stoicism. And now it’s being explained from the standpoint of a fighter. Good stuff
Thank you! I'm currently working on a third one for the series!
By this same logic, Alex will treat losing the UFC belt as a chance to better himself.
Like Bas Rutten did, I hope he becomes a submission expert next, to complete his game.
I absolutely think he will use this opportunity to improve
Well done, great job man! You clearly understand stoicism and I enjoyed how you were able to apply it with Pereira.
I always liked the philosophy of stoicism, no wonder Pereira is one of my favorite fighters to watch ♾️
love stoic philosophy, keep em coming!
Great breakdown. Deeply insightful.
Love these types of videos a perfect mix of philosophy and the art of war that is professional fighting
Thank you! And it's true - there's a huge mental element that is very overlooked!
As a stoic myself im a huge fan of pereira
♾️ This was a great video. I really like Pereira and his mindset very humble and all. This is very inspirational.
Awesome and comprehensive video
This channel is fantastic, bro. I’m learning so much from the videos you’re putting out. Keep it up!

Very good video, thank you much♾️
♾ thank you. What an inspiration.
♾
I am and have been a huge fan of stoicism/philosphy and your channel honestly has the best content around philosophy/psychology I've ever seen. Seriously, incredible work!! I can tell how much hard work you put into these videos and I rewatch many of them to help me navigate through life and somewhat psychoanalyze people. Thank you
I needed this ♾️
Amazing video brother 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Listening to his story helped me get sober, and i aint never lookin back
Great video as always. I was sad to see Izzy lose the way he did at the end, but after this I’m happy for Alex.
Love your videos, bro!!!
♾loved it man. best Pereira video so far

Great video. One of my favorite mma channels on CZcams. Keep it up !
Appreciate you my friend!!
♾️ I always knew about stoicism but never about exactly how it is until I stumble across your video on different fighter having stoicism thank you now I know exactly what I need to work in order to conquer myself
Great video, earned yourself a subscriber!
I love your videos. These are life lessons right off the bat 😊
Just in the beginning of the video I guess ;)
@@PsychologyOfTheFight the content is Neat!!
Man, I really like what your doing. Your somehow able to see and apply psychological theories / philosophies to these fighters and then somehow capture it in a visual way so we as the viewer understand how it functions in real life. Incredible.
Thank you for the kind words! I do my best to try to make it as practical and understandable as possible, because it's how I learn best. Do you have a specific psychology theory or philosophy you have a particular interest in learning more about through a fighter?
@@PsychologyOfTheFight That’s a great, thought provoking question which I’ve never thought of.
When you look at Leon Edwards & Charles Olivieras surging domination, it’s unquestionable the power that ‘self-belief’ holds. Which is a term commonly thrown around, but which sadly few really understand and struggle to incorporate daily.
On a personal level, I love Jiris application of meditation, Zen Buddhism, mindfulness & non-duality. He’s very clear on the ‘present’ moment, and is very aware of his egoic drives. It’s clear these teachings allows the freedom to express himself in the cage, access the ‘flow’ state and not succumb to wants & desires. He demonstrates the power of going within.
In addition Khabib & his unwavering self-discipline and how that’s transpired into an unbeatable career.
From the perspective of my mental health journey, and working within the NHS in a very challenging and complex mental health hospital it would be fascinating to enquire on how fighters deal with mental health challenges such as depression. As your aware, the likes of the Volkanovskis, Khabibs, Yan’s, they just seem unbreakable and untouchable mentally. I’m fascinated in how they do it. They come across like nothing can ever defeat them, as if they have full control of their minds. Myself, and people I know, and work for, this isn’t reality, and internally life is very challenging. It would be fascinating to know how they do it, and how we can all apply it to our lives. They just seem to be in absolute control of themselves and their lives.
@@PsychologyOfTheFight You didn't asked me, but I'd like to make a suggestion still.
I'd like a video explaining why fighters from Brazil tend to be more humble, obviously inffluenced by the oriental martial arts that always were the major force as far as martial arts goes in Brazil(Judo, BJJ, Muay Thai and Karate) in comparison with some North-American fighters that are more inffluenced by Boxing and Wrestling, which have a different cultural background and therefore, produces fighters with equal talent and skill, but with different mindsets. I'm not just bashing boxing and wrestling, I think these sports have a commercial culture that's way more developed than its oriental counterparts which were founded in a precapitalistic era.
♾️ really helped bruh especially im a fan of poatan ❤
not everythings a setback but sometimes we need to be setback in order to see and find our true paths, another great video in the books man.
♾️
♾ great stuff again
I love your videos. The Colby and Masvidal was a masterpiece. But this is something else as I truly resonate with the concepts of Stoicism.
The deep insight of the mind of a fighter can truly reflect our own inner mind, in life, in challenges, in everything. You definitely see life and others around you, through a different lenses. Please keep it up bro and keep inspiring.
I sincerely appreciate the kind words. It's reassuring to hear things like this - that Colby video was one of my worst performing videos in terms of objective metrics like views, but I was really proud of it when I put it out, I just figured there wasn't a desire for that kind of stuff. It's awesome to know people really enjoyed it.
It's really my vision with this channel to do that - to help uplift people through the lens of mma fighters; to give people insight they can bring back to their own life to benefit themselves. I'll do my best, thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment
Amazing work... ♾

Thank you, Justin! I love hearing that, I appreciate you!
♾️ amazing video as always
It is always good to see you here, I appreciate the continued support mucho my friend!
♾
I’m so excited for the next video, this one was amaizng, Im curious about how u even begin to make these, really seems like the quality of content is so high, how u make them as often as u do blows my mind.
Also this video hits me in the feels, I related with “the obstacle being the path”
This makes me feel better about some personal things I’m going through right now
Amazing!
Thank you! To be honest, I don't think my process is ideal, it really does take me a lot of brainstorming, writing, re-writing, researching, etc. But I enjoy the process and I love reading comments like this from people the videos help. You're gonna make it brotha
@@PsychologyOfTheFight whatever ur doing keep it up!
And thanks man, these videos help me get through it, lot of deep themes. The Izzy video is my favourite one!!!
@@ethanguizzo9681 I really appreciate that, man. The Izzy one took me months to put together and it didn't do very well from a viewership standpoint, but reading this: that it had an impact, makes it so worth it!
@@PsychologyOfTheFight I’m glad my comment makes it worth the hard work u put in the video
The Izzy video had a huge impact on me, I loved the self actualizing topic because that’s something I live my life by, I just didn’t know how to put in words ig. That video made me proud of who I am.
But man, u should be so proud regardless! I wish I could put out content like u, I just don’t know which good editing software to use lol if u read this what do u use?
Keep up the grind to man!
@@ethanguizzo9681 It's really easy to fall victim to the trap of comparison, honestly. I notice other channels putting out content that's just clipped up videos, or something pretty simple to make, and it blows up. It makes me look at a project I'm spending weeks on and think maybe it's not worth the effort. But hearing that it really profoundly impacts someone makes it all worth it!
I made 90% of my videos on iMovie, and not even the latest version of iMovie. Just the one that came with my Macbook. Now I have final cut pro, but that idea is in your head. I know that because I went through the exact same thing. I thought about making a CZcams channel for years and years, but it was always "I'm not smart enough," or "who would listen to me," or "I don't even know how to edit." All ideas the mind creates and justifies because at the very core was the truth - I was scared. Then I finally started making videos and I realized there was nothing to be scared of. You're always gonna suck at the beginning, but you get better as you go, and even if it doesn't work out, it's a better feeling to try and fail than always wonder
great video! keep it up! ♾️
Appreciate it bro! Thank you for checking it out!
