Izzy now “I beat that guy ONCE” 😂😂
First time I’ve heard anyone say that 🙄
We get it it’s getting old Izzy’s the greatest middleweight and Silvia
@@Coldartmaker These people don’t know the meaning of something getting old. They will endlessly repeat the same joke that everyone else has already made until the end of time.

Pereira is unbelievable. This dude came over to a sport that involves grappling and takedowns in his 30s!!! In 8 fights he has become a champ in two separate divisions. I don't think the average UFC viewer understands how fucking unreal that is. There's only a handful of fighters that have achieved champ status in TWO divisions, especially moving UP instead of down.
Everyone knew that Hill was gonna get KOd? He was the former champion and a lot of people were picking him to win beforehand.
Alex was slightly favourites.

@@JohnDoesMMAare profesional fighters and UFC Champions and former champions casuals too? Only CZcams users that you agree with are non casuals? 🤔
That comment makes zero sense so most legit fans are also hype chasers ? Because they picked Alex over Hill? First off some people are just fans and pick who they pick because they just WANT to see their guy win, and others picked because Hill straight up said said he was going to just stand and try and bang with him. Get a clue buddy.
Yeah I noticed that as well. Total nonsense. Obviously, everybody didn’t “know” that Hill was going to get KOd when you figure that Pereira was only a slight betting favorite to even _win_ the fight at all, let alone win by KO.
As a person coming from alcoholic induced genes I find Alex’s story amazing . if that makes me casual while I watch every fight night so be it
The only run that you can compare it to was the Jon Jones run after becoming champion. Shogun. Rashad. Rampage. Machida. Vitor. That was five prime LHW champions in a row, without counting a Glover win that aged like wine. Bader win holds up pretty good too considering he became Bellator double champ.
Now imagine Poatan and Jones meeting.
Except the fact that Jones went through the gauntlet instead of being gifted shots & also had match-ups against all fighting styles instead of cherry-picked favorable bouts. Jones is the real deal, Pereira drowns the moment someone is actually willing to take him into deep waters instead of having a gentlemen's stand-off.
@Nykandros who are the UFC champions he has ducked? We're just talking about strings of fights against top championship level guys. Alex hasn't ducked anyone but obviously there's elements that make Jones more impressive from certain POVs. However its feeling like cope to say Alex is being gifted fights.
True, though Jones' win over Rampage woulda been significantly more impressive if he had faced Jackson a couple years earlier. By the time him and Rampage fought, Quinton was at the tail end if not even possibly a little past his prime. I mean, not by a lot and certainly was massively diminished in any sort of way, but by that point in his career you could tell he wasn't quite as quick and explosive as he was once was while also having become quite one-dimensional as a fighter by that point in his career. Nowadays people remember Jackson largely for his slams, rather than the fact that he had some of the best boxing the UFC has ever seen, due to both having great technique and striking defense along with being one of the most devastating punchers to grace the octagon. Still extremely impressive what Jones did to him, just wished it had been, like I said, a couple years earlier - it would been a slightly better fight imo.
@@8301TheJManRampage himself said that when he fought Jon he was the best he ever was.
@@7reasons617 That dont mean he was, that said, even if he was at his best - Jones still woulda beaten him. I shoulda made that clear. Listen, i dont like the dude, but prime Jones was on a whole other level. I just think it woulda been a bit better of a fight regardless
Great video brother
He is a Hall of Famer for sure
To be the GOAT he Needs more title defenses in LHW or move up to heavyweight and Capture the Heavyweight Championship and maybe just defend it once 🤔
i don't think anyone in 200+lbs can stay good at 185. and why everyone was suprised alex slept in rematch?
your lungs will be broken but alex can still make weight and still can fight. it's terrifying
and, i love strickland so much. i'm not suprised strickland won over adesanya bcs nothing to lose. he defend the belt with the most active champ and finished alex with super spectacular style.
Sean strickland also had to fly across the world, change timezones, and cut to championship weight for the first time (his worst cut). All on short notice. Destroyed Izzy.
Jab machine merchant *
Poatan, the best of The best .👊👊
Pereira was born to antagonize adesana lmao
only izzy fans, hop on the Alex train then go back to Izzy again.
One thing I find odd about most fans of either fighters and izzys logic is.. in the two kick boxing fights, izzy says he was winning, the second especially was about how he was winning exchanges and then got knocked out luckily, and the mma fight was just the same thing.. so he discredits alex in all those 3 fights. But in the 4th where alex is slapping him around the ring, for izzy to land a incredible knock out is a valid win ?
One cannot discredit another's success and then claim the same success in similar circumstances..
The other dumb argument is its a different sport so it's 1/1 ( izzy also uses this argument in a round about way) but no actively competitive person will accept this argument.. regardless of sport if someone I see as a rival beats me in it, you might aswell have scored it on the same tally... it's 3/1.. not a great ratio people..
Jan could've won if he just used some of his control time on the ground to cause damage. Unfortunately for him and fortunately for Alex, all of that time didn't matter much in the eyes of most judges and that's probably why Alex won. They were pretty even striking wise, but Alex had landed better strikes. It was much more of a fumble for Jan than it was a robbery against him, and Pereira was lucky for that
Alex goot Alex số1 Alex mải đỉnh Patan
HAS ANYONE SAID " I BEAT THAT GUY ONCE HAHA IZZY " AM I FIRST?
Yk ppl will shit on his legendary status but you can’t lie he is the most prime person to ever be a triple champ
and his not done yet
Shouldn’t it be “Alex Pereira IS Having The Best UFC Run Of All Time”? Lol
Bro can we work together on MMA channe?l i just need your voiceover, if you interested please reply
Chama!
Jan definitely not win the fight , in that fight Jan fight backward and gassed out bad
Lost your credibility when you revealed you genuinely thought Jan won. Pereira clearly won that both damage wise and statistically
All I keep hearing is “ba-hairra”
"Pee-ai-ra."

HAD? Dudes in his prime and this kids acting like his career is at the end...
Good video, but some mistakes were made by you.
Adesanya NEVER managed to take down Pereira, it was the opposite. Pereira took down Adesanya in round 2, then he tried it again in round 3 and got reversed on the way down. He wasn't confident in his BJJ at that point so he never tried to get back up to not get submitted by mistake.
Jan meanwhile didn't dominate Adesanya, he won every round but not dominantly, and he only chose to take him down in the last 2 rounds, Jan simply $ucks at grappling hard, has "some" offensive grappling but $hits the bed (literally) against anybody with some prestige in BJJ, forget about Glover melting him in 2 rounds, Jan was terrified of washed up Jacare Souza taking him down thus the fight was as close as it was. And lets be honest his ground game was 2nd rate, he took Adesanya down and wet blanketed on him except the last 10 seconds of round 5.
Also Alex NEVER needed time to bulk up, he was already the 2nd biggest light heavyweight out there after Johnny Walker. Alex was already 232 pounds while fighting at MW, cutting an absurd 47 pounds. Apparently all he needed to do to recover his brain was to just not cut 47 pounds.
And don't pretend mate just cause you had no idea, I picked Sean to dominate Adesanya, you guys overrated Izzy to the moon. His striking is complete $hit, he can't throw a punch without telegraphing it and Gastelum boxed his face off at times... Freaking Gastelum. Sean got KOd by a technical all time great (in terms of landing untelegraphed punches) in Pereira, doesn't means Adesanya beats him.
You missed the part on round 1 Izzy waited and caught Poatan at the bell. Izzy was planning to do that again on 2nd round and Alex took him down when he heard the 10 sec clap. Ol
Izzy sucks at striking? How ridiculous
Come to daddy.
Had??? It’s still going what you mean “had”
Actually I think Izzy is better at kickboxing but Pereira has a style that'll beat more people.
Yeah Izzy is the more technical fighter, but Izzy needs to be perfect for the whole fight in the other hand Alex only needs a moment.
Izzy has 10 years more kickboxing experience. Alex started on his 21st.. Where is izzy better. Izzy hasn't won any big kickboxing title. He couldn't become glory champ while fighting there at the same time Alex fought there with way more experience. Alex became a 2 weight class glory kickboxing champion.. In what scenario is izzy the better kickboxer can you tell me that cause I'm pretty curious. I live in the Netherlands where glory is from the moment izzy said nobody knows him he was a champion.. Izzy is trash. His only memorable ufc win is against Alex and even that was luck
@@HILAL19564 I agree 100000000%
@@williamcarbajal8823Izzy has genetics that enable more finesse so he looks more technical but they are both very technical fighters
Nah Izzy is not better than double glory champion. He has more flaws than Pereira. Pereira is not as fancy, he plays more with fundamentals but he is extremely good at it. Izzy is great at range. But his boxing is lacklustre. That’s how Strickland dominated him. Pereira’s boxing is much better.
Getting KOed aint it. He still got slept in his first MW title defense and ran from the division afterwards
He "ran" to the more dangerous division?
That was over a year ago, today He's the undisputed LHW Champ and Defended It as well, so what's your point? You have to give props when It's due 🏆
A sus split decision? Jan dished out hardly any damage rewatch the fight pal.
Idk how how MMA grades grappling but I hope effective grappling/wrestling is what should be looked at. Not what Jan was doing in this fight 😭🤣
It should be of 5 rounds that shit was kinda draw to me
