Wasn’t a lazy kick so much as a very good read from pereira. Guy in black could’ve been faster to recover his posture/guard but shit, low kicks are ubiquitous in kickboxing and you wouldn’t usually expect them to be caught. Also have to account for Pereira’s low guard and freakish wingspan, to cai cai’s credit-it’s a tricky tricky scenario and pereira has unorthodoxy on his side 🤕
If Alex and Izzy trained together daily. They would probably both become a lot better. Alex probably doesn't get any good training partners that can keep up with him so he can't get better
I agree obviously he spars with world class kick boxers but Izzy an pierra would be great if they trained together especially now there in different weight learn things off each other
@@UnPetitPeuFitnesshe does but no one’s gonna be as high level as Izzy I agree it’s not to say his training partners aren’t good it’s just hard because he’s world champion no one’s gonna be as good as him
I think Alex lifts his leg up as the kicks coming. So the opponents leg goes higher. That allows Alex to catch the leg. Very impressive. But how does he even see the kick coming. And how does he know it’s going low. Very impressive
Well, let's put it this way. Homeboy won't be throwing any more of those lazy, defensively-irresponsible leg kicks anymore. Not in training, and more importantly not in fights. And that was his lesson of the day 😂
Sorry but Alex really overacted here, The kick was very soft and not thrown at full speed without power. To give this man a straight like that is from his ego.
That seemed personal😂
Probably cause he keeps throwing weak shi like this with him.
They spar all the time and the dude tries his best against pereira even when Alex ain’t tryna go to hard, he asks for it
You obviously never been in a fighting gym
@kor3yanwolf u obviously don't know wtf u r yappin' about. Alex got like 50 lbs on dude easy
@TheBullyDisciple bro I was thinking of joining a fighting gym but if it's going to be like this then it's to much
I sparred with the dude in the black. He is actually very good
His name is Ednilson Barros Santos. We call him "Cai Cai"
Me too
But I accidentally knocked out Alex and dude in black one time
@@alexhub6075 cool

@@alexhub6075 funny, you should actually come to the gym and see if you can actually do that. ( Cruz MMA Harrison, NJ)
Actually?
Alex was offended by that kick
Bad Cut …
even I would be, that was a naked slow kick, what is guy doing here haha, I think Alex was expecting a real round
It’s always the “let’s go half speed spar” guy that does this shit 😂😂.
Pereira does the same shit.
Deadly and decisive mans a unit
Yep
He just caught a leg kick
Major unit
❤❤❤
That’s how to deal with a slow and ineffective leg kick.
He delt with Jan... jiri ... adesanya 3 times and he best Jamal hill first round.
Summer time soon!
@@sukmynut He didnt grab anyones leg and will never use this move in a fight so i dont knw why you mentioned them
Its sparring ap is a doosh
Exactly
Notice how guy in black was chill and didnt turn up, now imagine the opposite.

@@TheOnlineMarket you should see what goes on inside boxing gyms. Defintely not for the faint hearted 😮
Alex is the UFC light heavyweight champion. You’re delusional if you think all it takes to beat him is to “turn up”. Straight up fucking delusional.
Bro that’s literally why Alex did it cause he threw a lazy ass leg kick😂
See how he pulled his leg up to his hand with the heel of his foot smart asf
Nah he just caught it with the inside hammy
thanks for pointing that out bro im gonna try that out
@@RaidenSavage-ce1rt nw just thought it was clever
"BLAH BLAH BLAH"🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Damn Alex
That jab was insane for practice 😅
Not a jab but ur right he definitely put some pepper on that one.. totally caught me off guard 😂
Yt commenters as soon as a pro fighter goes slightly hard: 😱😱😱😱🤯🤯🤯
Bro said "this ain't no light spar"😂
The guy: 👊🦵
Alex: 🗿🥱✋️

Alex looks 40 pounds heavier
you can throw faster without throwing harder
First step is you have to be 3 weight classes above your opponent 💀
Khabib be like
Khabib was average size for a LW. There were/are multiple lightweights that were cutting more than him. @@isg9101
@@isg9101 Khabib was the same size as all of his opponents lol😂😂

Looks like Alex actually scooped the leg up with his own leg into his hand.
Tell Alex they're sparring
Calm down alex damn son you almost sent bro to the corner store with that one
Every time I see a clip of him sparring it just goes from 0 to 100 immediately.
Come on Alex really? He put weight on that punch by his expression
Everything behind it with throwing a hey maker
Well he has a fight coming up
The dude is acting like a beginner. Alex say if you sparring with me take it seriously.
That landed on the chest clam down
He's a world champion light heavyweight fighter, he's gonna spar harder than you lil guy 😂
He did that with hatred 😂
Dady chill 🥴🥲
The way he hooks his foot with the back of his leg to keep it up so he could grab it is genius
He just made him pay for throwing lazy kicks.
Edit: It's better to correct that in the gym than go in a fight, and it happens in the ring.

Bro is a manace😂
Ego
If that was Alex’s left dude woulda been decapitated
He's a natural!
Clean right hand…right on the mouth 😂
Lmfaoooooo goddamn 😂😂😂😂
Elite levels above everyone else. He literally brought the kick higher with his own leg to his hand. He didn’t catch it directly. Just wow
So natural to him
Some good friendly sparring.
bro that straight was cold
Getting hit a lot is always no good, but I feel like the immediate learning from a mistake that comes with mma is real heathy.
Fight with hill gonna be so good
Crazy precise
Lucky that was his right hand, otherwise my man would be taking a nap
Legendary Alex poatan Pereira ☝️
Wow respect
Go with the flow.
He punches so weird but so much power wtf 😂
Clean 😂😂
As a kid I was good at catching leg kicks same way when we used to play fight with friends😂
Dam and that was with the right. 👀

Jaaasssssaaaaaa.......CHAMAAAA....!¡!
Looks like Anderson Silva James Irvin
Dude spars too hard. he put effort into the right hand. Damn alex
Ça reste facile avec des kicks qui sont pas censés piquer 🤡
Being twice the size of your opponent helps too.
That was definitely s check ✔️ 😁
Had Izzy flashbacks
Anderson silva vs james Irvine
God dam he threw that hard as hell
Seems like that can be corrected in a video but in reality that punch was faster than a split second💪
I think Alex lifts his leg up as the kicks coming. So the opponents leg goes higher. That allows Alex to catch the leg. Very impressive. But how does he even see the kick coming. And how does he know it’s going low. Very impressive
The other dude was getting abit overzealous Alex had to check him
Jesus!!! Why he hit him so hard. 😂😂
That’s what I thought Ruziboev would do to Buckley.
He left that leg kick there for eternity 🤷🏻♂️ not saying Alex wouldn’t deal with it the same way but it was a lazy leg kick.
Take it easy bro 😂
😂😂till this day, he never threw a leg kick again
No headgear? “Dayumn bro, you said light spar”😂😂
That seemed a bit malicious
Light spar be like 💀💀💀💀
He didn’t waste a second getting back to his feet bc you can’t keep a good man down.
Potter dare to use my spell against me
🗿
The amount of time he was in the air after getting hit😂😂😂
I saw it, he bends his leg so he can catch it with with the hand
CHAMA 🦾 🗿
The problem is that alex doesn't telegraph his calf kicks at all.
Rodtang special
Dam normally u catch a body kick bro caught the low kick 😂
It looks SO easy when top pro do it.
If i get punch from Alex, i takes as a compliment
He won't be doing that to Ankalaev
Na bocanha 🥊🗿
Thought it was Gilbert burns me hahahahaha
Thats how you teach someone theyre doing something wrong
How to deal with a slow kick to the leg.
Oh yeah
Why did he throw that punch so hard? His face showed that he threw it with full intent

Punching like this in someone’s face, you don’t even need to grab the kick 😂
Corte rápido e preciso, Tramontina 😅😅
We want Pereira in boxing,
😂 bro
God damn lmao
You can tell he wasn’t even trying. Just going through the motions. You reach, I teach.
Все просто, пропустил, получил, встал, продолжил.
Goddamn😂
Sorry but Alex really overacted here,
The kick was very soft and not thrown at full speed without power. To give this man a straight like that is from his ego.
He doesn’t check but simply pushes your leg up with his leg right into his hand, he does a lot of stuff different compared to everyone else
He does check lol, you’d never reach for a kick like this in a real fight, maybe if it went to your body but deffo not your leg
"There is no greater counter to a leg kick, than a straight right down the pipe!!!"
Jiri will dust this tool.
Poatan x Jones
That’ll work 😂😂😂😂
Question asked and answered. Next! 😂
La cara de Alex de : qué cojones , se levantó como si nada 😮
No pad it’s not the same. Shin bounces differently w no pad. Catching a calf kick is not easy lol
