I think Glover surprised everyone with how well he did in the standup against Jiri, I wonder if Alex will start to surprise people with his ground game at some point. These two are a pretty sick combo.
He had good jab & but he mainly controls him on the ground. once he got him down there… he stayed down there, thats why he was winning the fight: control time.
@@Darrel219 Ground and pound also. Plus he almost knocked down Jiri twice while standing, way more than what his opponent offered in the striking department.
42 ain't thatttttt old. And he never took crazy damage cept for gus fight. He's been rung but not like beat up. Obviously never ground and pounded. I watch rumble ko him and every time I wonder what it'd be like to get punched by rumble. Like. Wtf
Glover is such a great guy. Always positive energy but when he enters the Octagon better be ready or run for your life . Thats the real warrior , right there.
Izzy being champ in UFC was Alex’s big ticket to the top. If not for Izzy Alex would have a much longer and harder road to the title. He is not hunting Izzy down, he is chasing the best opportunity for himself and Izzy literally paved the way for him. He didn’t make much before UFC.
@@andrewgoldin6905 I do think Dana would have pushed him either way tho. Double champ in glory that’s big. He definitely wouldn’t be pushed this hard tho haha
Yeah Ikr? He's awesome but I hate 2 categories of dumbasses in MMA: Some who claim that 40 is not old in MMA, well yeah 40 is not old in life but in dangerous sports especially combat sports, it is old, also some who stretch and claim that being 40 in this kind of sports are like 80 years old people, YKWIS? that's why.
@@CONCERNEDcitizenforever The title say’s they are sparing yes. And they also do that. But the title is only describing the video as a whole.

@@cmpunk500 actually i think glover is such a nice guy so he would just hold the guy down in an uncomfortable position until he calms down, he wouldn’t even throw a strike
My man Glover didn’t even want to stop. Just giving it to Alex. What a perfect coach- student combo for these guys. Izzy has Eugene, Alex has Glover. Unreal skills being learned for this fight.
I have a weird feeling this fight will turn into a grappling fight. Its like how Usman vs Colby (2 elite wrestlers) turned into a striking match. Or how Gane vs Ngannou turned into grappling
@Big Dawg Francis wrestled Gane cause his knee was compromised going into that fight and didn't have the explosiveness he normally has to be able catch him.
@@RockandRoll-ss7dc bro Glover been KOd and rocked varios. Pereira was a middleweigjt and light heavyweight chanp who walks around 230 pounds. Glover would beat easily him if he gets him to the ground, but if they stand and trade Alex KOs him stiff
He had Jiri dead on his feet twice in that fight. Could of finished him easy but went for fake take downs both times to win some dodgy folk's serious money. Singapore is notorious for dodgy betting in this fight was rigged to. He rag-dolled jiri for four rounds on the ground then taps to a guy with no ground game ! Left a bitter taste in my mouth watching that.
@@MuckyduckMel Lmao! Cope. Going for a sub when someone is hurt is a classic. Glover has won countless fights doing it. Oliveira built his championship career on it. Jiri just wasn't as hurt as he and other people assumed. That's because Jiri is a zombie.
@@TheStraightestWhitest Dude I like Jiri, good fighter but Glover had him dead twice in that fight and the only way to throw the fight was go for the take downs. Can't believe folks were fooled by this.
@@MuckyduckMel Nobody threw the fight. If anything, Jiri did in rounds 2 and 3. He could've TKO'd Glover early if he stopped flying. Even Izzy was yelling at his screen for him to stop doing it. Only reason Glover ever had him in trouble was the flying.
Both of these men are very nice good dudes and both of them are absolute Savages and warriors so working together their egos shouldn't get in the way and they can both get better together that's very scary you have one of the greatest Strikers and one of the greatest Grapplers in their practicing and teaching techniques I love to see this
I haven't seen videos for Israel preparing for Alex. But this guy is showing so many training camp videos. Feels like at the end of the day he will be like Paulo Costa
That's just a ridiculous thing to say, Alex's striking is in a different stratosphere vs Costa, he's a double weight Glory champ and has beaten Izzy twice as we all know. He has 0 fear of Izzys striking...
I don't even speak nor understand t.f they are saying and this still put a goofy ass smile across my face lmfao gotta love when fighters have fun together and have a genuine bond 🤙🏻
This is turning into a nightmare scenario fast for Izzy. Tex there and the skill and experience he brings is epic for Alex and his mold into a true mixed martial artist. He is bigger and stronger than people realise and with the right skill is a nightmare for anyone in this weight class. I had Izzy until I saw Alex training with Tex.
@@thebee2685 He went 50/50 with Jiri, a prime aged monster with a higher finishing rate than Francis Ngannou despite having more fights and at lighter weight, and whose first two fights in the UFC were knocking out the rank 5 and 2 fighters in brutal fashion. That alone is insane. Glover was winning the 5th, so if he could've survived he would've won. Oldman Glover is a mythical fighter. It's almost like his chin and speed has gotten better with age. I've followed him a long time and was never as impressed as I was by his latest streak. Dude's like George Foreman. Got better and tougher with age. Became a menace to the young ones.
@@TheStraightestWhitest Agree 100%. Funny that you mentioned Foreman. He was my favourite boxer next to Tyson. Remember playing his video game on Super Nintendo back in the day. 🤣
My two favorite active fighters right now, they're on heavy pursuit for the belt not to mention Glover was champ. These two fighters have there cocky ness to them but also stay very calm and respectful
Izzy has two incredibly hard fights in front of him. If he beats pereira then khamzat. He’s pound for pound and definitely in GOAT talk. Even if he has had some boring fights.
@@John-gh2lz He’s the master of Chess. Alex and Khamzat will be big tests considering how physical both guys are for the division. Ones a vicious KO artist whilst the other is a psychotic grappler. If Izzy beats both, he’s top 3 greatest of all time
I think it will a kickboxing matching for the ego cuz if one goes for the take down the admit they lost standing up(btw I don’t agree with this its mma)
@Anthony Galloni Alex’s first 2 fights with Izzy were very close. I thought Izzy one the first one and was winning the second one before he got ko’ed. Izzy has power too and if he connects with 4 Oz gloves, Pereira could go out. Idk which fight I’m looking forward to more, Izzy vs Pereira, or Charles vs Islam
@Anthony Galloni Oh sure. Derek Brunson, Rob Whittaker, Yoel Romero and Marvin Vettori couldnt take and hold Izzy down, but Pereira will just because Glover is his training partner 🙄
So sad Texiera retired. What a tough guy. He got mauled his last match and never quit. His opponenent was afraid to get knocked out till the last second.
Costa, Pereira and Romero are 235lbs outside fights. Whittaker walks around 225 lbs. Majority of Middleweights are Heavyweights on their off days. Theyre the same size as Stipe.
@@daghetto101 peirara could definitely be heavyweight along with Izzy if they bulked up because they do have large frames, but whitticker moved up from welterweight and is perfectly suited for middleweight, Costa is a unit but has one of the shortest reaches for middleweight, sure he blows up in weight but if you actually saw him next to stipe you would notice a significant difference between them.
Gotta respect Teixeira. A veteran still going hard and trying to sharpen his skills.
