We are looking at an all time great...and his name is Brian Campbell with the BDE
BC is the GOAT
Bc is the next picasso
I don't see how you can deny it if he beats Hill but if he then goes onto to beat another big name or even get a HW win - he's got "Best Combat Athlete" ready for his CV
Wish I could say that esp since I hate the other guy in about to mention with great passion (how can anyone like him as a person?) - Jon jones. He is now HW but he’s arguably the UFC goat and he still looks over the LHW division….meaning any LHW champ that follows just won’t get the credit. I think it’s the same with Daniel Cormier since he’s done so much in the ufc yet jones still shadows over him unfortunately.
@@lordkira9791 I specifically said combat - you're disregarding his entire Kickboxing career. No one's done what Alex has and to the level Alex has / would have by then.
IF you Google “Pereira double combat athlete” It tells you that he is the ONLY Fighter in HISTORY to win 2 belts, in 2 different weight classes, in 2 DIFFERENT Combat Sports mma(UFC) and mma (UFC) 1st simultaneous Double Check e in Glory history and 1st in the Glory Hall Of Fame and headed to the UFC’s. There’s no fighter in the UFC that has these accolades, not even 1 ☝️🗿
Yeah, no
Literally spit my drink out when Luke suggested we call this fight the “bang bus”
🤣
im still agitated poatan got himself ko'd, when that could've been avoided 100%
Facts, he had Izzy beat
If only he had you in his corner
To be fair Poaton only had 7 fights in mma when he came over from Glory kickboxing and he had 40 fights there (also squeezed in the mma matches) so an experienced striker against guys like Jason Wilnis, Simon Marcus, Vahitov, real elite strikers etc. but it took a little while to adjust to the nuances . Things like the little 4 oz gloves are hella smaller than the 14oz kickboxing gloves he was used to blocking with etc, so shots that normally would get blocked etc. now get through, hits harder etc. His defense with his build and dimensions has always been to back away 1st avoiding most of the shots then pary the rest, set up the counter etc. He also had to learn takedown defense and ways to keep people off him. If he had 1/2 the ground game he does in striking, he would be serious problems all the way around ☝️🗿
@@jsavage9134no he didn’t, he’s always been rockable, Izzy had him on skates in the first round of their first fight too - definition of saved by the bell
Bro Campbell is the goat…I don’t give AF about contracts and networks..bring the man back online and let him speak on the sport…enough with the BS bureaucracy
Really pumped for 300 as we draw closer
The buc-ees shirt takes BC from handsome man to absolute sex symbol
He’s already an all time great as it stands right now
BC making it look EZ
*silence*
Luke: you’re fired, gtfo the stage 😂😂😂 I’m stoked for this card!!!
Island BC 🖖🥳
He’s a fan favorite that’s for sure.
Pereira ✊🏽👍🏽🫵🏽🌞🌞‼️
If he wins this fight. Dang, he's undeniable. Very tough one to pick, I'm a little dubious about Jamahal's injury though.
not even close.
IF you GOOGLE “Pereira double combat champ” it already tells you he’s the ONLY fighter in HISTORY to win 2 belts, in 2 different weight classes, in 2 DIFFERENT Combat Sports mma(UFC) and Kickboxing (Glory) and is already 1st in the Glory Hall of Fame and obvious for the UFC’s. You can’t name 1 fighter in the UFC that carries these accolades ☝️👍
Chaaama is the best
He already is....
…not
MKKKKKKKKKK!!! 😍😍😍
Comment for the algorithm
Is this the BC "kiss of death" 😂
brian def gonna end up meeeting chris hansen
FUixne luve this show!
Hill is a bumbling fool and Alex is about to walk through him.
Not in the least.
U til hill knocks him out this weekend
On the path? He already is an all time great. He's a double champ. 🤣
bar conor, he’s had literally the most catered to path. Dana white privilege
Does he have any defenses yet? Let’s see him rack up a few defenses then evaluate
If he had to navigate his career like everyone else he gets nowhere near a title fight. Someone like Brunson or Vettori takes him down and embarrasses him on the ground. He’s had a massive amount of favourable treatment, and nobody in the fanbase seems to acknowledge it.
Literally everyone acknowledges it. I've never seen someone not acknowledge it in a serious discussion.
Jamahal will end all the hype.
So you’re going to discredit a world class kickboxer that took every fight they offered him, beat their MW Golden boy then starches Jiri Projaska in 2 rounds to win another belt. Izzy beat Vettori and Cannonier and Poaton’s TD defense is much better since working with Glover. Your just making assumptions based on bias, Jan wrestlers, got beat , Jiri wrestles, KO’d in less than 2 rounds. You guys sound so Jeolous a retired kickboxer walked in beating 4 Champs in a row while winning 2 belts….. The hate is real and you’ll still be talking bs when Hill becomes the 5th. CZcams schills knocking a world class fighter ☝️🗿
@@mikemosley2948 your acting like that MW golden boy didnt send him running to the weakest division in the sport after getting sent to the spirit world. Its not like poatan even defended his middleweight belt. He beat a guy he had already beat twice and then got knocked tf out and left the division to take a vacant belt in a terrible fight vs Jan, a 50 year old kickboxer btw and not a wrestler. Jiri has a glass jaw and has been koed or rocked in every single fight hes had in the UFC. LHW is weak af but still Hill is his first real test at LHW and if he beats him then he can start building something cause so far hes not done anything worth talking about. If poatan is going to have any sort of reign it starts at UFC 300, if he loses his name wont even show up in a google search 5 years from now.
@@LWT80 listen bum ass Tik Tok kid, Izzy showed up with a PED Titty the size of California and everyone knows it and Pereia cut 45 lbs for that fight. Izzy got 1 Win in 4 fights with an ass full of Juice, then Strickland trained with Pereira and literally BEAT IZZY’s ASS all 5 rounds. Poaton didn’t even come out of the cage before Izzy was screaming 1 and done, that’s history, I laugh last bs Then Pereira moved up because of the cut. Izzy will never touch another belt again and Jan smothered Izzy and Alex beat Jan’s As_ then KO’d Jiri everyone was calling a god in 2 rounds. Poaton was already famous for being Glory’s only 2 weight simultaneous champ in history and leaving Izzy on oxygen beating him 3 times. beat Izzy’s as_ so bad in Brazil Izzy immediately ran to the UFC and got hunted down like a BITC-☝️ go back on Instagram cornball 👀😂 you MF’s are hilarious 👍😂😂😂
🦫 👍🏼 👕
I like Alex but it doesn't hurt that he's been given the golden ticket to be great. He's had more chances than even Conor. You'd see a lot more double champs if they had the same opportunities. He's held his end of the bargain for the most part at least.
Kid Conor got no chances what little Frankie Edgar was going to give him problems at featherweight ? He literally styled on the dude that knocked rda out in 20 seconds , and then came back and fought khabib and then Dustin (best resume in the history of lightweight) literally you guys just don’t have any idea about what you’re talking about . And as for Alex how has he been given easy match ups , you understand that ankalaev doesn’t wrestle right he doesn’t have the energy to do it the wrestling only comes out of panic , he beat Yan whose beaten literally every body else in the division I don’t know who would of been a tougher test , and before the fight with jiri every single one of you casuals was saying jiri is going to embarrassing him and it’s because you guys just don’t have any idea about what you’re talking about , what you think Whitaker who couldn’t take down izzy would of been able to take down Alex 😂 kid Alex would of folded Whitaker in half in 30 seconds Robert has never learned to not point his fuckin chin in the sky every time he blitzes into range it’s literally insane that he still does that shit , Alex folded jiri in half because of something you guys don’t seem to be picking up on and it’s not his power it’s his calf kick he doesn’t need to turn over his hips to throw it and it’s punting these dudes lead legs out from underneath him but please besides anakalev tell me whose this fighter that the ufc did such a good job at keeping Alex away from ? And if you say chimaev you don’t get to ever comment your opinion about mma again . Oh and about the Conor thing if Tony fought Conor at any point Conor would of literally seperated his head from his shoulders if you wanna see somebody that was protected by the ufc it was Tony Ferguson who literally got exposed the second he had to actually fight elite talent because he can’t box for shit and cannot wrestle to save his life , granby rolling outta single legs don’t work in the top 10 you actually gotta be strong enough to shrimp or hip bump to get up from the bottom
Well, he has earned them.
Obviously he got a big push at MW cos of the Izzy story, I think for LHW he got extremely lucky that the belt was yoyoing around with injuries and he was popular enough to step up
@@vinceventura4453 He's not going to see this and f*ck you, dude
@@stephenstuckeyHow exactly?
I think Hill brutally ko’s him in the 3rd 👆👆👆
I don't like him or Hill, so I'm hoping for a Double Knockout.
How do you dislike him? All he does is say “huh” and “chama” 😂😂😂
@@jordanlewis4308his fans - they are so delusional and obnoxious
Not a single fight i am DESPERATE to see.
Everybody talked about 200, 300 is silent in comparison.
Because the UFC does not have ANY real stars. These dudes are now a bunch of cornballs with no ‘it factor’.
No we are not, and the fact that you guys are trying to make the case is fucking sad. He got favoritism from the UFC and still couldn't hold the belt he was supposed to walk in and take with no effort. He's good, but pretending what he's done makes him an all-time great already only makes you sound foolish. 🤦
I'm not a huge fan of Izzy or Alex, but why would he take the belt from Izzy with no problem?
@@matepavic6929 Based on their matchups in Kickboxing, Alex was supposed to be Izzy's Kryptonite and was hyped to be able to be the only one to walk into MMA and destroy him effortlessly. We all saw how it actually went, but that was the hype he had coming into his transition to MMA.
@@ImNoJoe No. Their first fight was extremely close, many feeling that Izzy won. And in their second flight, Izzy was actually winning and almost finished Alex before getting caught.
@@matepavic6929 I'm well aware. I've covered all of their fights pretty extensively. But this was the hype surrounding Alex when he made the transition.
@@ImNoJoe Hype doesn't mean shit, tho, does it? They can try and promote someone anyway they want, but if you look at fighters and their style and skills, you can see for yourself how good they might be, no matter what promotion tells you.
No we are not. Practically every fight he has had in the ufc aside from the ones with adesanya have been structured favorably for him. What this is like his 2nd fight in a row fighting someone coming off/still having major injury. Fight befoe that fighting a 39 year old guy last minute at high altitude?seven fights in the ufc, not one real wrestler? Get outta here with this nonsense...hell jiri is tailor made for his fight style and ot still took him a minute to put him away.
You sure bruh?
