Probably the craziest example of Pereiras dynamite Left Hook. Incredible speed and power.
It looks pretty short, too. Did not expect a knockout from that, wow.
Bayrak KO was the craziest imo.
Its the technique powering the strike. All that torque
BRAZUKA DANGEROUS
Strickland was a good one too. That left hook was picture perfect on Sean and just ended him damn near instantly.
Powell said he has nothing to lose. Except consciousness.
Or his life…
hahahaa !
😂😂😂😂 don't do him like that! 😂😂😂😂
Quase perdeu a vida
He'll never lose consciousness. But consciousness can lose its body-brain connection, for sure. lol
One of the most beautiful KO’s on Alex’s career. Literal poetry in motion.
Prostrate syndrome
there are great knockouts from Alex in Glory kickboxing
The crack of the punch and instant KO is beautiful. He was out cold for a solid 2-3 minutes. Deadly power.

One of the cleanest knockouts I've ever seen.
shit is scary
Ever ever? Ever ever? 🤔
Its not even clean. Its disgusting lol
Scariest might be the sleep paralysis that he gave Izzy in their second fight
yeah
Very rare to see a knockout like that with a single hook. Alex has scary power he’s really a freak of nature
Freak
The opponent had already been kicked on the other side of the head, our brain shuts down so as not to cause major damage.
poatan means "stone hand" in the tupi (indian tribe) language
No need to try and discredit his power.
That kick was blocked nicely.
The left hook landed flush@@matiasouza
@@matiasouzawhat I’m saying it Alex did it as he was backing up and it was only a check hook, but he has that much power that it not only knocked out his opponent but he slept him baaaaad. Usually only see knockouts like that from a clean kick
Sean Strickland talked about how painful it was to take a shot from him. Insane power.
Says a lot about izzy to take the immediate rematch and going into the fire knowing more than anybody how dangerous this dude is
@@salvador6356Izzy deserved an extra belt for putting Alex to sleep. Alex looked almost a weight class above and moved pretty quick and landed shattering leg kicks plus those nukes in his hands.izzy looked half his size to be honest.
pizzy has no belts
@@undergroundriptiles7005 pizzy has a few belts, one with like 10 ruby’s in it.
@@vantablack68093-1
It blows my mind how Alex can throw head kicks without moving the rest of his body.
He’s built different
I can just about do it to the chest level. But it really hurts the hip joints.
He has a technique he calls “shortcut kicks” Where he turns the angle of the front foot to preload so he can throw without a step or telegraph
very good flexibility/balance and long ass legs
Alex stays on his toes to avoid injury and deliver a powerful kick. The result of a well-executed kick is in the technique. Marreta had strength but no technique, today he has several injuries and cannot use all his strength.
Even when Pereira leaves the cage, Powell still on the floor...wow that was scary
That is scary. It sucked the excitement out of the whole place.
he was out for 5 min! That is how scary the guy is..
Bro I felt bad for Powell this whole fight. That man didn’t deserve that. Hope they paid him well.
Ya, right from the start. front kick to the guts was the end.
Mano é uma honra passar pela mão esquerda do Pereira, só do fato em dizer que já lutou contra esse monstro janta tá no lucro 😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂
Probably got paid 20k max
@@jheisondesa3205Lutar é uma coisa ser saco de pancada é outra pô.
😂
@@BreastMilkEnjoyerX20k?😂 dude probably got paid 17 bucks a Gatorade and a pack of mint gum 😂😂😂
I see Pereira recreating the same exact sequence against hill next saturday. Hill loves to drop that gaurd
You were right
Damn you were right, there wasn’t a high kick but the left punch was very similar
celebrated , watched replay, waited for official decision, left the octagon, and bro was still sleep😂😂😂😂😂
lmao.
its scary
Most likely he regain conciousness only 4 hours later.
Imagine throwing a punch, and then you wake up in the hospital
Scary af
I heard they sent him home with the luggage.
Having a physique isnt going to save you against Pereira 😂
It's not a body building contest.
😂😂😂😂
Doesn't take much psi to the face to put someone to sleep. I guess the rule is to try and accomplish that first.
no, it is a body contest though@@tadficuscactus
yehhh@@tadficuscactus
Bro got announced as winner and talked with his team and left and Powell was still sleep unbelievable 🇧🇷🦍🔥
For those who don’t know, Powell was out for a good 5-6 minutes after that left hook from Alex.
He also ko jiri with his left hook. His power is different
How do u know?
Considering how short that left hook was that is craaaazyyyy
@@damienoptc7222he more KO’d Jiri w elbows to the side of the head the left hook dropped him tho
His power is crazy. It doesn't even look like a hard swing but then it hits like a truck.
exactly. I don't get it. doesn't look different than left hooks that get shrugged off. almost casual.
He's HUGE. His fist is bigger and he has denser bones. You cannot appreciate just how big he is until you see him in real life.@@mejohn101
@@mejohn101it’s the torque from the hips
It is not power it's insane technique
I love poatan
Take note of that beautiful split second feint on that left hook, it's very easy to miss but he makes his combo off rhythm by not firing his left hook IMMEDIATELY after the kick lands. Straight after the headkick Powell puts his guard up on his right side as Poatan feints the left hook, leading Powell a split second later to walk directly into the ACTUAL committed left hook. Fuckin beautiful knockout.
Good explanation
I did see that too. Perfect!
Not enough people talk about this, it’s so subtle but had he not feinted it wouldn’t of had the same effect.
Genius. I’m gonna try this in sparring but with less power
Perfect example of state of the art striking
Alex was stalking the poor guy like Jason Voorhees.
The replay at 5:42 illustrates the feint perfectly; Powell reacts and Pereira's left hook follows. The power of feinting, and establishing patterns in an opponent's behavior.
Trop fort Pereira.👍
Yep and it doesn’t look like his opponent saw the hook coming. Part of the reason it was so devastating!
One of the scariest KOs i have ever seen🗿
Izzy knocking Alex was scariest

This was a murder. Talk about a mismatch my goodness
Even the commentators were anxious
Grappler vs striker

Murderous left hook larry
He just wasn't prepared for this kind of fight. He's tough but had nothing in his arsenal for Alex
Alex já tava em casa vendo o replay da luta quando o Powell acordou kkk
Kkkkkkkkkzzzzzz
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk... essa foi boa.
Qual é cara .. 😂😂😂
O Poatan saiu do UFC?
@@leonmenezes8491não
That left hook is so amazing. It doesn't even look that powerful the way he seems to barely move his arm but damn.
Not really saying Alex looks bad here or anything, but you can really tell just how much Alex has improved in MMA from here to now, despite this not being THAT long ago.
what? was this not a flawless victory?
@@FlakBoxing it was convincing, but against a relative nobody. Contrast this to being able to fend off Jan at 205 in the wrestling and grappling department. He looks much more clean and disciplined now, is all I'm saying.
@@yonokolol i get what your saying but it’s completely false in this context, there was only 1 grappling exchange and he easily denied the takedown attempt. now if he had made some mistakes or something, your point would be valid but Pereira didn’t.
there were multiple grappling exchanges what are you talking about? There was one clinch against the cage and even though thomas couldn't do anything he still struggled escaping.@@FlakBoxing
@@guy229 that’s literally the only notable grappling exchange and that’s what i was pointing out when i said there was 1.
there was a moment where he shot for takedown and caught some knees to the cranium if you would like to count that🤦🏻♂️?
That feint left hook to open the defense is a thing of beauty.
Alex Pereira was a rubber worker in São Paulo, he had to repair heavy truck tires with a sledgehammer, he had to generate a lot of force in a small space and I'm sure that contributed a lot to his punching power.
Damn that was one of the scariest ko's ever
Alex is a beast!! His power is just insane i hope he stays at light heavyweight it’s definitely a good spot for him and soon i hope he goes to heavyweight cause he just massively tall
What? 193 cm LHW standart height.
@@MsLukasrodriguez thanks for letting me know 😄 I’m not sure what 193 cm is but I’m guessing he ranges somewhere in the 6’ area still pretty tall though thats for sure
193 cm is the height of Pereira, Prochazko, Smith, Reyes, Rakič and most of the LHW fighters in the UFC.
@@MsLukasrodriguez got it 😎
jiri is 190cm reyes is 194/195 same with pereira smith is 190cm and rakic is 193 thats the real heights@@MsLukasrodriguez
Poatan é simplesmente fenomenal !! Marreta na mão esquerda, ele foi forjado em uma borracharia em SP com consertos de pneus de caminhões...😂
The whipping sound his left hook makes is just nasty. Absolutely disgusting
He generates enourmous amounts of power in such a short distance. It's honesty so impressive.
Best left hook in the game
This left hook should be banned or Alex could use it once in the fight, I'm a doctor and this can cause a lot of damage , Alex is a psychopath shouldn't be in the sport
@@Henrique-ro3pgwtf you talking about ? It a lead hook. Fkn casual
cala a sua boca
I'm truly happy we all get to watch this man fight in combat sports 👊
Agree! I was thinking about that. We can see an athlete doing his best, but this man could still be repairing tires in another destiny.
You just felt bad for Powell, those punches from Pereira are something else.
This shows how much better UFC fighters are and why Pereira now is in UFC and became champion so fast. They are on a whole other level
This shows the difference in the level of striking between real world class strikers and every mma fighter, ufc or not.
@@PoatanCombatSportGOAT Yeah, but in order to be in the UFC, you need to have SOMETHING special, and they are all on a higher level. Otherwise whats the point of it. Always nice to see newcomers or current guys become better and better, cheering for them, see them lose or win, the atmosphere, they hype, trash talk, UFC is awesome. But did you mean that Izzy isnt a world class Striker? To me he is
@@KEV19019 Adesanya is a world class striker and that bolsters my point. One of the best strikers in mma lost to Poatan 3 times and couldn't come close to accomplishing what he did at the highest level of kickboxing. There are a few great strikers in mma but there are still levels to this and Poatan is the highest level.
@@PoatanCombatSportGOAT cream of the crop always come to top
That hook took the soul out of Powell. They had to shut all the doors and beg it to get back in his body.
So corny
I feel bad for Powell. He was out for a minute. When I watched this live I thought he died.
😢😂😂😂
😢poor powel
A min is too less
Shitt the way his ass sleep would’ve thought the exact same shit.
He was out for a litle more than 5 minutes actually.
4:05 That head kick started it, and rocked powell a lot more than it looked. Right after the headkick, he stumbles and plods for a second.
Headshot kill
Poder - Precisão - Timing
Simplesmente assustador!
Chama 🔥🔥🔥
Porrada
Espero que pegue o Jiri em um nocaute bizarro tbm🎉
Unbelievable left hook. Pretty much as clean as it gets. Hard to watch him drop like that, I barely saw what hit him at first. LFA's show looks great.
he has one of the most lethal weapon across combat sports but you'll never catch him bragging about it
God gifted him that left hook.
Perfection !
The faint just before to create a dead angle, the shot that you don't see will knock you out
Perfect technique, perfect power, perfect speed and precision. Powell went out immediatly, incredible !
Blah blah blah... We're not blind dude.
@@MVPMcGEE Sorry, i wrote my comment for blind people only
@@kennykent5336niiice
Dropped him like he hit him with a rock. That's a well practiced move. I been watching him set that left hook up all day. Binge watching him knock people out.
that punch looks like only about 40% lol
One moment you are fighting, the next you are floating through the Milky Way having a joint with God.
Estou congelado, já havia visto este nocaute do Poatan, mas agora revendo com calma, percebo o quão brutal isto foi, realmente a preocupação minha com Powell foi muito grande...Merda ele não estava acordando. Muito sinistro mesmo, espero que ele tenha se recuperado sem sequelas.
Como o amigo do outro comentário disse, a gente meio que se sente mal pelo coitado do Powell kkkkk Espero que tenha sido pago bem
Sequelas? O que causa sequelas são socos atrás de socos. Não um baita soco que te apaga. A força chacoalha o cérebro e ele desliga, mas não deixa pequenas lesões mais que 200 socos levados em lutas e sparrings. O perigo do boxe não são os nocautes sofridos, mas os milhares de socos que vão sendo levado durante anos.
@@jacqueshenrique3864 para cara. Até parece que um foguete desse na cara seguido de uma queda inconsciente no chão não gera sequelas. É OBVIO que não se leva um nocaute desse todo dia, então não são eles os maiores responsáveis pelas sequelas, mas dizer que um golpe forte não estraga teu cérebro, ai tu ta vendo muito filme.
This guy is something else. The fact that he was moving back while he knocked him out with a seemingly effortless hook is insane btw. Generating power while moving back is very difficult let alone enough to knock someone out.
Nocaute incrível, Alex é excelente na trocação.
Porra
O cara é um espetáculo de lutador, perceba no chute e depois no cruzado que a cabeça do Poatan nem se movimenta, é muita potência cê tá doido.
Mando p moreno para o Jardim da infância lkk me acorde amanhã as 7:00 kkkkkkk
Monstro. Agora duplo campeão!
O negão sobreviveu?
kkkkkk
flawless victory for pereira🥊💯
Watch how he loads his hips, like a corkscrew. Thats where the power is generated.
Alex had his interview and everything and the powell was still out cold 🥶
That high right kick to set up the left was a work of art
"Right hook hospital, left hook cemetery" probably Alex Pereira when he learns to speak english 😂
Você inverteu as coisas, ele usa a grande maioria o gancho de esquerda onde acontece vários dos nocautes dele, quando ele usa direto de direita a pessoa fica desacordada durante muito tempo
He’s gonna sleep hill like that
absurd, he doesn't gain distance, he doesn't gain speed, he simply touches the guy and the guy dies.
3:59 - 4:00. 4 punches in less than a second! the fluidity , the power and the range of the combo fascinates me the most.
mans left the octagon and the guy is still laying on the ground unconscious fucking hell
I can't believe they announced him as the winner when the guy was still on the ground
Isso é hilário!
Alex
Assisto de Moçambique 🇲🇿
Dude was still asleep when Poatan left the octagon lmao
I thought he may have unalived him man. He was legit stone cold out for 5 minutes. Brutal man. Never a more fitting nickname.
Hope he sparks Jiri like this.
To určite ne tohle bude válka kamaráde nás Jirka mu to jen tak neda🇨🇿
That clean shot reminds me of Tyson. If you watch Tyson during his prime, he'd hit his opponents with shots like their hands were down by their side. Takes timing and accuracy.
Sometimes I think of being a mma fighter then I see this and change my mind
He barely let that left go. Such power
Damn Adesanya look kind of different
Early stoppage. Powell was pulling corpse guard.
@@markasread4349 they robbed Powell of a comeback victory
O Alex é realmente inteligente ele deu o chute já sabendo que o cara iria bloquear mas plano era soltar o soco certeiro
Exatamente! Tem video dele no youtube explicando como ele usa o chute, ou joelhada, p carregar o cruzado.
Best left hook in the business
You guys are really stealing the UFCs thumbnails huh? 😂😭
É impressionante como Poatan consegue por força em movimento curto.
Ref was checking his pulse bruh 😂
Excellent Commentary...Respect to both warriors...
Punch looked so soft!!?? 1” death punch!! What a beast he is.
Pra quem não fala português o poatan ficou preocupado com o powel pela demora dele acordar os treinadores deles falam pra ele manter a calma que vai dar tudo certo tipo o powel vai ficar bem.
Aí tu explica isso em português

One of the scariest dudes on the planet
Alex just said on Ariels interview that Powell was down and out for 8 minutes...Scary.
Dang he sent Powell to the spirit realm to meet his ancestors for a minute 🏹🎯😱😱😱
I’m just wondering if anyone knows where the power is generated?
Also did it kinda resemble a corkscrew or bull whip?!
Right! How bout one more time...
I may have heard that somewhere before
That powers all in the hips and shoulder
To throw any powerful strike first it starts in your footwork. For example a lead left hook like what Alex here likes you would first wind your hips up slightly left then, turn in your right knee and foot slightly to the right, creating tension between the knee and hips and planting yourself firmly in the ground this creates the corkscrew/bullwhip effect mentioned, as you release the corkscrew, you rotate the shoulder over and the 2 motions compound to generate power, this is the key. There are lots of ways to compound momentum to generate extra power. To hit someone with out using your legs and hips is to just hit them with your arm, what Alex does so well is he hits people with his entire body consistently, its very hard to hit that hard with a technical approach in competition, its unique to him a few others like Fizzy. Hope i helped a bit gl.
Also, pihp.
bizarro!!!! a luta durou quase 5 minutos mas o powell ficou desacordado uns 6 minutos, mais tempo dormindo do que lutando O.O foi muito tenso até ele se recuperar
5:47 a finta para o Powell precipitar a guarda foi genial
A forma como o Poatan condiciona o adversário antes de aplicar o golpe fatal é foda demais. Maluco é cerebral
Finta fenix porrada
Please check the quality of the video, Powell disappeared from the screen from time to time.
How is that guy even in there with pereira? Looks like an nba player playing against a high schooler
Double champ Glory and UFC 💪☝
Looks like Louis Lipps was talking to himself right before the fight started 😂
