UFC 300 was AMAZING but Who do you think Alex should fight next?
Dana already said he will be staying at 205 so he wont face Aspinall
I'm as big of an Alex fan as you'll really find but Tom would take him to the cleaners 9/10 times. He's just too big and too well rounded. Alex is colossal for a middleweight, above average for a light heavyweight but he'd be on the smaller end of heavyweight, he has a huge frame but he isn't anywhere near as filled out as Tom.
Next Pereira vs Ankalaev. If Pereira win, go to Heavyweight Division🗿🐐🔥
@@daquist18 Alex needs to win only 1 time. It does not matter whether Ass-pin-Anal can win 9 times or not
You know nothing man. Alex will sent Tom to shadow realm. Tom has a belly of a toddler and leg of a chicken
Steven Seagal taught him that left hook
Nah, just a spinning pigtail.
😂
Actually it was me who taught him.
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Don’t be a douche, find your own material.
Alex is a warrior. Love the fact he doesn't say too much and let's his fighting do the talking
He says a good bit, you just can't understand a F word
@@Mcfc2Richno, he doesn't.
He can't speak English. That makes communication hard. Stop making a fuss about nothing.
He literally refuses to learn English. He doesn't give a crap about the fans because he's a dog's Anus.
@@nxo91this is why he's one of the people's favorite due to the language barrier. He seems mysterious in that way.
The power he generates from these short hooks is insane
Whilst I agree, the shovel hook is probably one of the most powerful punches you can throw. Amazing technique and timing though!
@@ugurcankayalanded with about 2-3 knuckles too lmao.
Steven Segal taught him well
@@SlimShadly he did only with the pinky one lol
at least Alex Pereira isn't like all other champs who fight once every year and a half
"all other champs" Bro - Volk, Izzy, Strickland etc were all super active. Come on now.
@@hellowell3743he just loves alex in a different way then most 😂👀
@@super2984yeah lol
That’s Leon Edward’s
@@hellowell3743Leon, Stipe, Jon Jones, Usman
Periera vs Ankalaev
But Ankalaev gets a staph infection and pulls out !!!
Volkanovski pulls up on 2Weeks Short Notice .....
I met a strange lady she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
volk will then cry after the fight and say he got knocked out cold into a shadow realm because he has "depression"
And she said
"Do you come from a land down under
Where women glow and men plunder?
Volk is too busy bulking to heavyweight to be the backup fighter for jones and stipe in 2029
A heavy weight fight is the best move. He loses no stock win or lose, gets a big payday, and keeps his LHW belt regardless of outcome, with anothet huge payday fight at that weight. Not to mention the opportunity to become a 3 divisional champ. Its win/win.
OK but if he gets knocked out by a heavyweight, that could really affect his career and his health. This isn't a video game where you can reset.
Alex needs to stop ducking wrestlers and prove himself against Magomed
@@systemicchaos3921More likely he'd K'o UFC Heavyweights.. would love to see him against Heavyweights especially Jones
@systemicchaos3921 I could have sworn it were a video game. Man! Thanks for setting me straight.
I think Alex can knockout some heavyweights for sure. But if he can make 205 just make the weight unless he adds 10-15lb to help absorb shots let alone imagine him being laid on top by a Curtis Blayde. Let’s not forgot at 185 where he walked in around 208 fight night Israel had his way on the ground.
Dana says it's not a good idea for him but the fans will want to see it for sure.
We will all be disappointed because Aspinal is more than likely to be wrestle him to death because he weighs much more
It is a mistake to fight Aspinall now. He should feel the waters and fight more in heavyweight before contending a title.
@@intelligentbot944 That wouldn't be disappointing. If Aspinal can stick to a gameplan and execute props to him. Jamahal Hill's plan obviously didn't work for him on this night. Sweet dreams are made of this...
@@LuizGustavo-fo5mr He should fight Gane
Probably, right…. Dana said the BMF belt would only happen one time also also.
I think he wants the Brasil fight to be a heavyweight because he doesn't want to cut weight and also doesn't risk his lightweight tittle pretty smart if you ask me
We also found out Jamahal isn't 6'4" unless Alex is like 6'5" or 6'6" because Alex was taller then Hill every single time they were next to each other before the fight, during the fight and after the fight.
6' 2 1/2" is listed at 6'4" in the UFC. Remember Shane Carwin? Shane was legitimately listed at 6'5" for quite awhile (I remember seeing the graphic presented by the UFC) and he was only 6'1". The UFC's official stats listed him at 6'5".
Exactly.
Alex is tall af, you see that pic of him next to Tyson fury? Yea the angle I know, but he is tall
@@PhoenixBlacke Alex just grows when he is next to people that are taller than him. Nah but you're right. He was pretty much as tall as Fury, Fury's listed as 6'9 but he spits a lot of BS so Alex is probably around 6'5 - 6'6 goddamn giant of a man.
The Achilles surgery shortened him by 2"!!!😅
Bisping, admitting you were wrong in your prediction confirms why you will always be a champion. CHAMA .
Yup he is casual mma viewer, has the brain of a chicken and forgets really fast all of Max and Pereira achievements and think a never seen a belt fighter with arguable KOs (ex:chandler glass chin) or picking Jamal for his incredible KO power (again Johnny Walker goes out even if a flie hits his chin a bit faster), and fought some grandpa for the belt:)))))
How many of us predicted that though? Max via ko😅
It's happen. Forget it...
What else could he have said? 😂
I mean, it's not like he could deny it.
Holloway vs Pereira book it.
*Appreciate everyone that understood that it was a joke.
The weight class isn’t even close . Not going to happen
Nonsense you are....
Hahahahahaha. Nice idea
u wanna kill max halloway ?
Science Fiction😄 !
Just like we forget anybody striking with Peirera is stepping into his world a highest level wrestler at his size like Aspinall, Jones or Ankalaev could probably demolish him, he is still a kickboxer with rudimentary wrestling and grappling defense
yep exactly..its funny that alex has only 1 fight so far in the ufc were he fought a true mixed martial artist which is jan blachowich and that fight was really close..he has only fought former kickboxers and wannabe kickboxers so far in the UFC..
Magomed anklaev deserves to fight for the title now. I can't wait for that fight and if magomed ankalaev uses his brain he can win against Alex.He should definitely not stand up with Alex. He should wrestle to win.
He will 100% wrestle because he has no match against Pereira's striking
@@woodmanbeingreasonableha ha ha is that why Izzy knocked him the fk out 😂
@@user-jw8pw4ht8yyeah because Magomed Ankalaev has the same slick striking acumen as Izzy Adesanya…
@@user-jw8pw4ht8yonly took him 4 tries 😭 even a blind squirrel finds a nut eventually 🤡
but every round starts standing up.
Should be Ankalev, that is the toughest fight for Perreira hands down. Ank will likely be the favourite as well.
Good joke. Bro did draw with number 4th and won over number 7th. Why would he get title fight? First defeat Hill or Jiri before crying for Pereira.
He won't be the favorite, Alex will be the favorite in betting odds because of his stature. But Ankalaev is going to beat him
@@fangru7294he's undefeated for a number of fights. Had a unfortunate draw with jan but beat Walker convincingly afterwards. Ankalaev is the contender for the title, making him fight again for the top contender is kinda bs.
@@IK7. How the hell can you be contender for title without beating anyone in top 5? You can be undefeated all you want but it does not matter if you did not even defeat even one title contender...
@@fangru7294 you're speaking like a casual. Stop all BS hype job. Alex never fought a real contender. He beats cage rusty Jiri and Hill that coming of serious injury after 15months. The UFC continues to shield the hype job like they did with Sean because the Russian got hold of him😂😂
Hill thought he could knock out Alex like he did his brother.
JAMA
Alex should stay a LHW for now. Defend at least two more times I'd say. It's not worth it for him to move up to HW when he'd be fighting the interim champ. He should wait until he gets a shot right at the real champ belt, be it Aspinall or Jones, or whoever, then he'd be a true three division champ IF he won.
This stuff keeps the "Ultimate" in UFC.
That's why you take a fight at HW, no risk to the belt and it doesn't need to be Aspinall. Fight another high ranked HW with a more favourable match up
Why take the risk if it’s not for the belt. A random heavy weight win does nothing for his legacy
@richardcharleston2547 I wouldn't say it does nothing at all... that's silly!
Winning both belts, knocking out Hill, then 3 weeks later fighting and beating a HW in your 3rd division.
The UFC is all about moments now. That's how you build legacy and secure large paychecks.
@@khanwebb172 His only reason to go to HW would be for a belt, especially with HW being in a gridlock, it would make no sense at all.
Dude a 3 week turn around alone boosts his stock, dipping his toes into heavy weight definitely boasts his stock as well
@@Eagle_SFM It's quite obvious he wants titles not "stock".
It would also make zero sense to take a short notice fight at HW, that does not reap huge reward...
He'd be better off getting another defense at LHW. That would have a lot more stock behind it than some random heavy weight.
The HW division is in shambles at present, it has two worth while scalps, Aspinal and Jones.
NO one else even matters in that division at this point. No former champions, at best you've got Blades, which would be a dumb fight to take on short notice for someone like Poatan.
(Stipe doesn't count, he's on his way out and only wants Jones)
He should fight Magomed Ankalaev.
Mikey let his allegiance to Anthony Smith and Hill scramble his common sense.
yeah that was so dumb, actually embarrassing
I wonder if Khamzat will have the balls to call Alex out IF he wins against Robert.
Bit of a stupid move. So fight a no.1 contender fight against a Middleweight and then go and fight the LHW champion? Where's the sense ?
You are not making any sense bruh
But he already called out alex when he won the title against jiri
@@toufikjamalsk3411he already called everyone.. that dog is lost in his carreer..no focus at all..
If Jake or Logan Paul want to fight in UFC, Dana white would give them direct title shot on whichever weight class they want. Star power is more important to Dana White than being number 1 contender, see the likes of Belal an Merab.
Love your vids! Thanks for the content, keep it up!
I knew it was going to happen,just not that quick...damn there is no stopping Alex now
He'll get stopped in his next fight and fall off. That's what everyone is worried about.
'you can fly your own Dagestanis' cracked me up
I totally agree… he could spend 2-3 weeks in Dagestan grappling and man he will be unstoppable
@@BrunoPOWEEERhe won't learn anything from a couple of weeks. It takes a long time to be a good grappler
Both Magomed and Tom are interesting fights. If Magomed gets a hold of Alex, he could be in real trouble with the Dag pressure. And Tom has the speed, defense, and grappling experience advantage in that fight also.
Thanks for the pic at MGM ✌🏼
Excelent video, thruths well spoken, thankyou for your great analysis
That left hook he hit Jiri with was from a super close distance. Pretty insane
Its kinda insane that he was able to knock down Jiri with that. I can’t think of a single other fighter that can generate that much power in that short of a hook
Oliveira v Chandler
With Jiri was a right hook...
Bad move for Alex to face Aspinall he would absolutely crush him
Seriously, Tom is 260lbs and a crazy strong grappler. That’s just a bad idea for Alex.
😅nope Alex wil catch him also
@@draggoon9121 Your man got KO'd by a lean Middleweight.
Aspinall is a Heavyweight, weighing 30lbs+ more than Pereira and moves quicker than he does, along with KO power and high level grappling. The fight would likely go to the ground and we both know who has the advantage there.
Yeah the grappling's the problem, I think Aspinall will try to stand with Alex and at 230 pounds Alex is far faster than Aspinall.
@@Obiodum_ your missing the point… that’s the challenge that Alex wants.
ya that was a nasty shovel hook
This is the best analysis from you Michael. Great job. You keep getting better at speaking just like you always kept getting better at fighting.
You completely right!! I love your analysis
I say give him a shot at being first ever 3 division champ
I want Alex vs Bisping 😂😅
Bisping will be sent to shadow realm with in mins
He will lose his other eye
😜👍.
😂@@jericho-tube
Bisping, bring back the live chats. I miss you commenting on up an coming prospects like Dickson Sider.
Everyone before UFC 300: AP will knockout Hill within the first 2 rounds
Most UFC Experts on ESPN: I'm taking Hill!
😂😂😂 why does everyone dislike AP so much? A once ina lifetime fighter who has turned Izzy from Anderson Silva 2.0 to 'the guy at the bar that beat me one time'.. AP is the best P4P fighter in the UFC today.
beautiful take but i don’t think he’s 1 on p4p but in the top 5
Not sure about anyone else but we were 6 playing poker and we all called Poatan knocking out hill. Still didn't expect in that fashion though
After beating all these Champions you still doubt Perreira? Cmon mate the math dont make sense. The man is currently challenging the GOAT status of Jones.
The most ridiculous thing I've read today.
@@Obiodum_ Jones would smash alex but he is going for goat status
Bro wtf 2 division champ and 1 title defense vs 2 division champ and 13 title defenses? Yeah no the math ain't matching
Also only ever 2 division champion in glory kickboxing, beaten only champions or former champions for the past year and most importantly has not hit a pregnant woman with his car or popped for peds
@@herohunter5961 How many champions did Pereira beat and in how many fights? Hard to compare that. and If he takes the heavyweight division also. he will be in a class of his own. he coming for that GOAT status. CHAMA
Heavy weight is the most fun move for the fans! And an excellent point about his age... He isn't gonna stay in the sport forever, give the fans more legendary fights!
Wisdom words. Congratulations for honesty.
This is out of context but just got off a flight and watched the documentary of your career.
Huge respect for your mental strength from a young age in your career. Very inspiring, true warrior 👍
Poatan é orgulho nacional para nós brasileiros. Homem de fibra.
🇧🇷👍🇨🇱.
No one can talk like Bisping .❤it bra
Ankalaev is next, that would be exciting fight
Bro I watched the whole video and Bisping just keeps talking nonsense.
Alex Pereira literally ASKED FOR a heavyweight fight. NOT Tom Aspinall. Just any Heavyweight fight.
I watched the whole video waiting for him to suggest an opponent and he keep carrying on about Ankalaev and Aspinall. Those two aren't even in the equation.......and it's not what Pereira was suggesting. Wtf.
Talking about how the shovelhook was the difference maker because it goes under the card while showing jamahal hill with his hand by his hip was peak comedy
this episode better be good - i just tuned it & had to watch 2 loooooooooooong *ss commercials (adverts for the mates across the pond) 😂😆😂
If Alex fight in Brazil is only for Heavyweight.
No need to cut weight again.
He needs to gain 20lbs to have a chance against Tom
@@edwardtran1974 only needs two leg kicks and a left hook
@@SpiderS4TO Right. Tom will just stand there. Listen to uncle bisping. Surely he knows more than you
Aspinall is a different beast, his movement for a heavyweight is frightening and his knock out power is vicious. Alex is very rigid and stationary which isn’t a good style when coming up against somebody who is very fast and light on their feet like Aspinall is, no doubt alex carries a lot of power too but i think avoiding tom aspinall would be his best move.
I agree. Best play is let jones and alex fight, if alex wins give him Tom or jones Tom and then Tom probably wins and makes Tom a bigger star from their star power and success and his own legitimate ability to beat either of them! That would be then ultime time line haha
Who has tom beat?
@@Mnkey_D_ZoroIt seems like you don't keep up with this sport.
Jones is going to fight Stipe and retire afterwards. Even if he was going to stay around, why would he fight Pereira when Aspinall is the current interim champion?
Same shit was said about ciryl gane when till Jones beat him easy
😅 what is just going to be another kickboxing match and he wil take that belt also
thank you Michael Bisping.
🔥 CHAMA
I’d like him to fight Jiri again as it was an early stoppage the first time.
Even if i think Ankalaev should be next, after rewatching his resumee he hasn't any win in the top 5, if we go back in time when he fought Jan it wasnt be for the belt but it was for the nr1 contender before Jiri got injured and he didnt even win so i think he should get a win against any top 5 first like a rematch against Jan
I love how Bisping still not convinced about pereira and yet again picks against him
Dana wont allow that happening to his biggest star.
His biggest star is Bo Nuckles
“ I dont want alex to fight aspinal because im scared “
😂😂
He is safer to go fight with Aspinal instead of fighting hugger
@@dolod777 as a jones fan, aspinal is a different type of heavyweight 😕, made in a lab
@@super2984 even if P loses, still better than spending time with hugger from Dagestan
Bisping v Hendo get it done Dana ✔️
bisping has both artificial knee joints in him installed, he won't wight
@TyroneBiggins-tj2ho Cole me on the panny sty, baby, I'm going to sine your pitty on the runny kine: he not long ago, if I'm not mistaken, doing an interview with GSP, he explicitly said something along the lines "yeah, I would love to at least compete in something like JJ here and there, but you know, I had my both knees replaced now, hence realistically fighting is over for me". I'm sure if someone violates him on the street he will knock a couple teeth out, but he himself said he won't fight as a sportsman.
Great takes
Am I wrong or did spinal just say he weights 240 a week or so ago? They are the same size. Spinal doesn’t have the advantage everyone thinks he does. I think Alex still has so much room on his frame. He could easily add 10-15 lbs of solid muscle to his frame in a year if he wanted to. If he really wanted he could do the John jones approach and add 30 lbs, 15 muscle and 15 fat. If he did that he would be 260! He could do that in 6months if he committed! Could you imagine Peoria at 260 and how much power he would have if he didn’t have to diet to stay lean. Having a little extra body fat actually makes you a lot stronger. In reality he’ll probably stay lean and fight at heavyweight 10lbs higher than he is now and be about 245 solid. That still a big man. He’s used to cutting a ton of weight and still performs like crazy. Imagine how good he would feel not to cut a single pound.
You can't just add 15lbs of muscle in 6 months or even a year guy. Not humanly possible. Unless he takes a large quantity of gear.
The thing you don’t understand is that he’s not used to handle 260lbs beasts in the octagon. Thus far he only bullied smaller guys who barely break 200lbs off camp. Hill weighted in at 204.5 ffs. Aspinal is a massive dude with incredible speed and serious knockout power. And he has been fighting other giants for years. You seriously think Pereira’s punches will have the same effect on a legit HW as on a small dude like Strickland? He couldnt even ko a washed up Blachowicz who was outwrestling him easily. Imagine what a prime HW like Aspinal will do to him.
You think this is a game? You can’t just add 10-15 pounds of muscle in a year that’s not even humanly possible
@@fernard8985 Nope lol hill weigh 235 glovier walkss around 230 as well as jan walks around 230 as well evey light heavyweight goes a a crazy diet some like rakic and jonhhyn walker have to diet 2 months before because they walk around 245 pounds all muscle
@@whatchusayintv what are you talking about? I’ve been bodybuilding since I was 14 and it’s absolutely possible. Alex,a frame is huge and is capable of holding a lot more size. You’re limited by your genetics as to how much muscle you can hold and Alex is constantly dieting year round to keep his weight low on purpose. If you’re already maxed out and have been lifting for years and trying to grow then you can’t add that much size. NFL athletes regularly add 10-15 lbs of muscle during their first off season which is only a few months. I’ve personally seen many people do it. If you don’t have good genetics and or don’t know what you’re doing then I could understand why you would think that. But when you’ve been purposely holding your body back you can absolutely grow. He weight 235 so he can still make 205. He’s not bulking to 235 he’s holding himself down. He’s already bigger than Glover. Lots of guys that size do good at Heavyweight. Look at stipe he’s only 240, basically the same size as Alex is right now and Alex can add more size easy. The combination of genetics, training and diet he can add 10 lbs of solid muscle no problem. Look at Holloway, he literally just did it and Holloway doesn’t have the same muscle building genetics as Pereira. Holloway was thick as hell and solid from neck to calves.
Prochazka should be next for Alex. Let Aspinall fight Jon Jones.
No. Alex already beat him it should be Ankalaev
I can't tell if people are stupid or are simply ignoring WHY he asked for a HW fight for 301.
Pereira wants to fight in 3 weeks WITHOUT having to cut weight twice in less than 4 weeks.
He didn't ask for Tom or Jones. He simply asked for any HW fight. The importante thing for him is to fight in Rio
Agreed. Tom would sell the most tickets out of available heavyweights though. I wanna see Alex fight at Hw 301. Take my money I’m buying it. If it’s aspinal I may even put money on aspinal to win if he’s a underdog, but secretly, I will be rooting for Alex to win, than challenge bones and win. Would be AMAZING
@@tdawg6877 is Sergei booked? I can't recall. That would also be lit.
@@jayn6943 not sure when he last fought, maybe vs aspinal. That would be a good fight too. Or ciryl gane would be good too. Nice striking opponent would make more sense than aspinal for Alex on short notice too. I like the way you are thinking.
@@tdawg6877 it would be a "stress free" fight for a last minute thing. A good way for him to try his hand at a potencial new division and a certain K.O finish for either fighter.
If Pereira wins it would only raise the PPV for when he does fight for the belt which would be a win for UFC, Pereira and Tom/Jones. Everyone would win
The leg kicks are going to be brutal for Ankalaev.
i want alex vs ankalaev
But wasn't Jamal Hill on paper would beat Alex????
Na most ppl literally picked alex bc on paper he makes sense 2 division glory kb champ, he has extensive experience in striking and has developed experience and skillset far above anyone in the ufc, so against any othee striker in the ufc, u have to favour alex on paper, no other strikee has his accolades
Don't try and change the narrative now...
They always hype the matchup bro for views and ppv that's it cause casual fans and people have not the idea of fighting 😅.
Bisping, you need a beach vacation! See you in the Philippines!🏨🏨🏨
Amazing card. Mike, I always say that you are to most fair, balanced and inteligent in your analysis. All agreed.
The only time I disagreed with you before the fight, was that I believed Alex had more power that Jamaal. You probably did not see the post as you get a million of them.
But Bisping your forgetting pereira is a black belt 😂😂😂😂
That fraudulent belt coronation confirmed that a large number of MMA fighters are fake black belts.
ALEX VS JOHN JONES!!! IMAGINE THE MONEY!!! SCREW THE RANKINGS!!!
Jon Jones . I don’t think it will happen . Jon been in shit so many time with the cops so many drug test etc . Cops are still investigating Jon and the drug agent assault. Every yr u will hear Jon getting in trouble
Dude, i´m surprised that the figthers coundn´t see that coming
Put him against Ankalaev!
Ankalaev ducked him @UFC301
Aspinall trains with the best kickboxer on the planet Rico verhoven so alex,s kickboxing wont b a problem for tom to handle he'll close the distance grab him and f... him up 😂😂
Heavyweight Skills don't match with lower weight class. Skill for skill heavyweights are the weakest.
And also Tommy has a toddler body with chicken leg that will give up after few kicks from Alex 😂
@@jericho-tube Daniel Elden here to talk nonsense on his fifth alt account. Taken your meds today?
@@jericho-tube Lower weight class 😂 Alex fought at light heavyweight in glory so not exactly a welterweight 😂 literally the weight class below Rico ....dont forget Alex only dropped weight when he joined ufc to target his ex kickboxing rival izzy 😂😂
In January of this year, Poatan published a photo of his normal weight (230lbs). Considering that the guy is quite slim for his height, I believe that in just over 6 months he could reach 250lbs without a juice diet. At that point, there would be no more discussion about being qualified to face heavyweight opponents.
Aspinall vs Poatan in the UK would be awesome!🔥🔥🔥
Alex should clear the light heavyweight division like jones, giving the top guys their rematch opportunities and defending the title at least 10 times, before moving to heavyweight. He's already showing the egoistic delusion of jamahal hill, thanks to these LHW fighters giving him the stand-up fight he wants! - tom or jones will be his great humbler, choking him out.
He is 36 bro, chill
Why he will clear the division ? He beat all top 5 except that Dagibuma who wants a title shot but did not beat any top5 guy
@@jericho-tube he beat them...once! Former champions deserve the chance to gain a victory over him. There seems to be a double standard for Alex. People crying that Izzy beat him once..should apply their logic to him..he beat Yuri, Jan, hill..once!
I was hoping Pereira vs Ankalaev would happen in UFC 300
Ankalaev is on the UFC shit list he's going to get zero favors from the UFC.
@@westsidera97 why?
I saw Tom's training..
He was seeking his edge to get next level..
He might be GOAT in heavyweight division.
Holloway vs pereira for the bmf belt, rock paper scissors for who bulks or cuts to either weightclass
All respect to you Mr Bisping . However whomever you pick to win a main card title.fight I pick the opposite...as in the Hill v Pierera fight 😂😂😂
Love your podcasts by the way❤👏👍🙏
Alex said he wants to fight at Heavyweight probably not to cut any weight and risk losing the belt on short notice. This is just a bonus fight, an in between fight to save a card. Give him any Heavyweight striker so he doesn't have to cut weight
Great question, glad it’s not gonna be me! 😅
Go get that heavyweight belt Alex
Pereira vs aspinal would be a super fight and I do want to see that one bad but I’d like to see Alex beat magomed first and officially clear out all the contenders at LHW
Hasn't cleared anything out, in fact, he isn't even the real champ until he steps into an octagon against Anthony Smith
I think it is necessary to have a bmf belt for heavyweights, and then it would be interesting for it to be contested between alex and a heavyweight champion...
Im surprised how I havent seen one person mention why Pereria dismissed herb so quickly. I mean he doesnt even look at him or move his eyes off Jamall. This is because he was in the midst of measuring distance and was about to land his shot, thats why he immediately throws it, because he knew he had the distance and timing on point. Hence why he didnt even move an inch when herb tried to breakup the action.
Yes, Alex is a force of nature, he is the embodiment of fire. 🔥
Great common sense Mike ! Preach brotha.
I would actually buy the PPV if Alex vs Aspinal was made. 1 stoic dude with skills vs 1 chill dude with skills and massive, it would be one hell of a show.
Ankalaev vs Alex in Abu Dhabi or MSG
Ankalaev vs Jiri as new Saudi co-main
He said he wanted to fight at heavywright but it didnt need to be a titoe fight, so against Cyril Gane it woulf be a good fight
I understand moving up to heavyweight, but not to fight Aspinall. He faces a similar problem to Izzy when he moved up to fight Jan, where even if he has vastly improved his takedown defense (a skill which Izzy is better at than Pereira) Aspinall can still lay and pray because of the size advantage. Now obviously Pereira has an off button that Izzy does not. But Aspinall is a better grappler than Jan. He should fight Ankalaev and then he has cleared the top of the division. Then he can get a heavyweight fight against someone like Gane, Pavlovich, or Volkov, and if he wins go for the title.
I think he said he’s not going for the HW belt right away, he just wants a HW fight in 3 weeks which makes sense because he won’t need to weight cut. If he took a LHW fight in 3 weeks he would need to weight cut again.
If he ain't gonna go for that triple title now it probably ain't ever gonna happen at his age. He's got the best chance of doing it out of all the fighters. Fuck it, Go for it!
I doubt he was even thinking of Tom when he said he wanted to fight at heavyweight, probably just a random maybe top 15 guy for the Brazil fans and so that he doesn't have to weight cut again. Would love to see him vs Tom tho!
what a guy
Option is a focusing,and timing
Where is the podcast Bisping
UFC should have challenges for strikers who cant wrestle. To fight straight stand up. Instead of 3 rds automatic 5 rds. Close fights can opt for 1 additional rd. It would be way more Justin/Holloway fights.
Alex is currently my favorite MMA fighter. Not gonna lie he really has been doubt over and over and has over come the ODDs. Man came from kick boxing and is already goat status whether you like him or not❗️💪🏼
I think Alex should stay a light heavyweight because Aspinal just seems unstoppable
HAHAHA.... You said ding dong. 😄😂🤣
Alex fighting Tom would be absolutely bananas but Tom has great grappling which is Alex's true weakness. Tom and Jon are big and have top tier grappling as powerful as that left is of Alex he would be in biiiiiiiiiiiig trouble against those guys.
