#UFC #UFC291 - Sport
I was impressed with how Pereira was able to stuff most takedowns in the fight. He’s definitely improving
Tbh he stuffed takedowns because Jan gassed himself after having Alexs back
Rewatch first round, Alex did poor with his grappling
He won 2nd and 3rd but that first round grappling was worrying
@@imma5761bruh still he has improved as Jan's wrestling is pretty good and Alex didn't let him submit him even having his back tho yeah he still needs imporvement in his wrestling
@@imma5761Alex didn't try to grapple...he was smart...
He didnt waste his energy by trying to grapple against Jan.
On the 2nd round controlled the distance as much as he could and defended really well the takedowns.
@@henry247 when jan took him down in first, alex quite literally froze for few seconds and that allowed jan to tie him up and work on him at the fence
I wanted Alex to win and im happy that he won, but against better grappler he would be finished in first if it gets to the ground
Also defend his neck well vs. A blackbelt in bjj
This wasn’t the best fight for the fans but for Alex it was massive. You can tell he’s really put in the work to be better on the ground. Good for him.
Think everyone wanted to see one of Alex's insane Kos but now realising this is good seeing how much he has improved
@@zach4936 yup. Awesome to see. If he keeps this up I don’t see to many LHW’s that can beat him
I was just happy to see his improvement. I feel like this was a big moment for him to prove himself and he definitely did. More so than if he just got another easy knockout imo
Jan won
@@Sumea_Saukkono he didnt go cry somewhere else.
Brazilian here. His coach translated "contas a acertar" at 2:24 as "business to solve", but what it means is closer to "a score to settle", clearly referencing Adesanya, after he becomes LHW champion
Oh yeah we didn't miss that Jizzy Gynobender wetting his pants right now 😂😂
2:07 what did he say here? Is the same thing Oliveira yelled when he beat Dariush?
@@emanuellopez8578sponser and yes is the same thing
His coach is an awful translator
Which is weird, cuz he's still 3-1 against Izzy. I guess it's how the marketing machine works.
I love how quickly Alex has become a star in this sport. One of the things I love about UFC is how quickly the tides can change.
This man did it in only one year at his age. So inspirational
Robbery
@@georgeeast9271cope
It's cuz he was linked to the biggest star the UFC currently has
@@LuqmanderWeisefr Alex has only been training MMA for like 2.5 years now wtf and he could already defend against Jan and not get submitted its crazy even Izzy couldnt. Imagine if Poatan started Wrestling at like 12 years old like all these other fighters lol it would be OP dude could have become one of the GOATS, he only started Kickboxing at age 21 aswell while stile being an alcoholic. Dude is the best combat Sport athlete of all time behind GOAT Bones ofc first time ever Glory Kickboxing Double Champ, defended both belts, the MW belt like 5 times fuck is that little midget Henry still talking about😂😂 dudw fought in a Talent pool which has like 10% of MW lol and he has like 2 or 3 title defenses and nobody cares about that trash ass Gold medal lol we saw that Aljo literally outwrestled him if Alex actually wins the title its more than official
Alex' leg kicks are just ghostly, very impressive to do this to Jan
Except that he lost the leg kickibg game, but to be fair its hard for a casual to spot a checked kick 🤡
@@mikeedwin1905 Jan had giant bump on his calf you are blind bud
@@mikeedwin1905 Guessing you didn't see Jan's leg during the fight 🤡

Jiri vs Alex for the light heavyweight title is the closest thing we will get to Mortal Kombat in real life.

That pop from the crowd when Alex name was announced shows his star power.
It sounded like a football stadium after a goal scoring
they love him
I saw that multiple times what an epic cheer that was
they knew he wa making the fight. JAn wanted to hug him hence they happy the guy who came to fight won
He’s a easy guy to root for tbh
Alex ground game is really improved, I hope he improve more his grappling game for his next fight. No KO but he really showed us on how he improved as an MMA fighter.
A prime Jan would win.
@@theeuropeanmanjan is still a beast, the altitude was a problem
@@theeuropeanmanmas esse nem é o Prime Pereira 😂 ele vai evoluir muito ainda no MMA, são apenas 10 lutas.
Pereira coming off a huge knockout 3 months ago he needs to recover
His ground game was miserable??
Poatan beat the only man who beat Izzy besides Poatan himself. Let that sink in.
yep izzy got a fluke win😂
Izzy is a better fighter its common sense, Can't wait till Izzy humbles Alex at light heavyweight Alex was very slow in this fight.
yea beat by being potato sack in the bottom and doing heel strikes from bottom
@@draco2xxfr He made it sound like it was a masterclass all along..he got hurt real bad and swung for dear life . Whatever happened to "I think I'll fight him 4 or 5 times ? " 😂 He's like the kid at the playground after losing 3-0 He was like best of 5 ? 3-1 ? I'm done last guy laughs 😂😂😂 yeah sure Alex been laughing for a decade 😂😂
@@JT76912don't forget the altitude.
Besides improving his ground game, Alex also seemed to have learned restraint. He didn't go crazy like he did with Israel when Jan was up against the cage. He only threw one or two strikes at a time while waiting for counters. He definitely learned a lot from that loss.
Yeah, Alex was so patient when he had Jan on the fence seems like he is growing quickly in MMA. God I wish this guy joined UFC 3 - 4 years earlier we could have had a good well rounded exciting KO artist in our hands delivering crazy fights.
It looked like Alex had a chance to finish Jan in the second. We expected him to resume that attack in te 3rd. Jan was more aggressive. You can see Alex is also gassed out well into the 3rd. But was it conservatism or exhaustion that Alex didn't go for the finish in the 3rd? Everything is a balancing act. Not too much or too little of anything. I hope it was exhaustion, not caution when he needed to get the finish. All fighters need to get their finishes so it isn't in the hands of the judges. (Flip side is... he knew he was close to finishing Jan and got that tunnel vision, but this time with more caution, of only focusing on that single punch he needs... instead of going for more body and head kicks or the flying knee we were all begging for?)
Tbh going aggro against opponent who is up against the cage was alex's biggest weapon and weakness as well.
@@v.jinesh3151 Then he wouldn't be a legend in the kickboxing world. But i guess we're MMA fans, right...
@@eduardowood8502 I am not a hardcore Kickboxing fan but I have watched all of Alex's and some of the famous kickboxers in glory. Yeah, he wouldn't have been the striker he is now if he joined ufc 3 - 4 years earlier I completely forgot about that.
Jan said he wanted to test his standup against Alex, but then he would immediately start wresting him first round.
Good ol bluff
And still couldnt do shit lmao pereira proved himself in this one for ufc, ofc we dutch kickboxing alrdy know what he capable of
Fr it was just a bait it was clear glad Poatan won as deserved and Jan made himself look like a clown with the Statements of testing his stand up and he will try to knock Alex out..😂
If I was Jan I would've done the same, why striking when you can sub the guy? Jan was smart but he didn't had the cardio and Alex did great
@@emanuellopez8578 exactly he did what no ‘mma expert’ thought he could and won on decision. The odds were crazy for that to happen. Everyone said he wouldbt survive if someone wrestle him.
Poatan is known for his left hook but his leg kicks otherworldly... It's unreal how much damage they do when it looks like he's lightly tapping the opponents leg.
Yeah it looks like he's not even putting any effort into it and the next thing you see is his opponents struggling to stay on their feet
Dude out leg-kicked Jan of all people, that's a special striker.
Except he lost the kicking game. Got half his kicks checked and Jan was blowing out his legs from underneath him. But since you only listen to the commentary you wouldn't know about that would you 🤡
And he has his own technic, he kicks with the heel, so nobody has a sparing partner to emulate that. That's the kick Adesanya said he need to learn from Alex.
@@Ashukesharwani Well said. Exactly spot on. He's so effortless, quick, and fluid with those leg kicks and they carry so much power. Surely his opponents know what's coming, but they don't really understand how quick he is with it until it's too late
Jan" i won't wrestle from the first round" Błachowicz
Yeah 😂 whatever happened I want to test my striking
I really think this was better than Alex getting a first round knockout because we got to see his ground game tested (in high altitude too).
Look okay, but not good. He had a hard time wrestling jan who is a striker. But he looks better at least. Just keep him away from khamzhat
Jan was wasted for wrestling lol
@@Alexg94 it applies to both fighters
@@mpforeverunlimited well he’s at light heavyweight so I think he’s good😭
@@mpforeverunlimitedJan has a bjj black belt
In all seriousness , can we just stop and think about all the ways Alex Pereira is getting into Last Gearbender’s head ? He now defeated the guy Adesanya lost to, and if he is successful with getting LHW title and come after Israel again would be a hell of a show
Thanks you Alex for shaking ufc !
Hell yeah ! Gynobender shitting bricks now 😂
We should think about the ways that the last gearbender is in your head, that's a much more interesting question.
It's last "genderbender" guys, get it right sheesh 🙄
Why are you guys tripping? Izzy wanted Alex to win and was even supporting him/ giving him advice on his youtube and in person.
@@infiniterer287 It's all good man..The ladyboy has many names Gynosanya, Gynobender, GenderBender, Jizzy take ur pick 🤣
Not the greatest showing, but physically he looked really good for 205. Gimme him vs Jiri every day of the week.
Yes that was a awkward fight jan looked really slow and exhausting and alex's strikes were not looking like alex's strikes
Tbf he got knocked out called 3 months ago
@@dakshchadha6159Jan tired himself out in the first round trying to take alex down and sub him.
It was kind of predictable were this was going.
it was also the altidude
It was also his first fight at LHW, and his grappling has improved tremendously. He didn't strike enough imo, but at altitude, he was also gassed, just like Jan, so understandable. Don't know if Jiri or Jamaal will let that pass though.
@@dakshchadha6159I noticed that I believe he was scared of the takedown.
Alex's athleticism is really showing, I'm looking forward to seeing his career progress and develop as a fighter.
Jan gassed the fuck out trying to wrestle him all that time 😂😂😂😂
I gave it to Pereira but Jan's tough
Pereira is showing evolution at this point of his career and he didn't rush for any left hooks , he knew Jan was gonna block for it so he kept picking him apart from the outside.
Jan clearly won 2 rounds and had what? 6 mins of ground time? Jesus causal
@@TransitionedToAShark jan did no damage 2nd round or tried for a submission😂 then alex gets up and starts going off on jan🤣
Half of the half of the 6 mins was from the 1st round which Jan won and after that Alex stuffed most of the takedowns and was winning on feet😂
@@TransitionedToAShark Causal 😁
It seems we're all casuals after all
Wow, what a crazy improvement 👏 His ground game and defence was so impressive. So happy to see him win and hope he succeeds in everything he puts his mind to. 💪
It was kind of surprising seeing jan shooting for a takedown right away when he said all week he would try to knock alex out.
He’s scared
He saw Alex for a 1 minutes when they announce the names and said no fooking way
@@cricketcavalry1824 😂😂😂
WAS SOO IMPRESSED WITH ALEX'S TAKEDOWN DEFENCE

@srr3097 he didn't actually, when u got somebody laying on you not doing shyt its not dominating 🤡

Bro that was cuz Jan was gassed.
Good fight tho but he's getting dominated by the young guns

so glad Alex won and seems to have fully recovered from the KO against Izzy. i was worried it was too soon and as a long time fan was worried for him. Great job Alex and team!
Guess you never fought in your life ❗...
Although I hadn't been never knocked out (and even close) , but you don't even know how it works at all❗
I think he benefited. He showed more restraint. He's not being reckless.
yeah he took a couple hard punches from Jan as well, he looked good
... what
This was hella impressive by potan. The way he survived the 1st rd and defended the other td against Jan who’s a great grappler shows hes coming into his own as a mma fighter…I think he’s got a legit chance against jiri💯
100% if jiri doesn’t wrestle and he won’t i think poatan is much better striker and i see him koing jiri
Yeah, I thought Alex's only hope was to keep it standing. Jan is a black belt under Kamil Umiński & Radosław Turek.
He loss rounds 1 n 3 but go off sheep
@HellBlazerMNE07 he’s literally bjj black belt
@HellBlazerMNE07tell me you're a casual without telling you're a casual
Jan was scared AF to go toe to toe & strike with Alex...😂😂... Congrats to Pereira on defeating a former champion in Jan, something Izzy FAILED to do.....
Barely
@@ThePopchampIzzy wasn’t close
He landed the better shots though, they both looked pathetic though LHW is such a joke since Jones left.
Izzy ko technique
@@ThePopchampNot at all
We finally got an answer to the question what would happen when the best (sneakiest) leg kicker goes up against the best leg kick checker.
Hopefully he gets a title shot next. I think that Jiri is the best option for him.
He got promised a title shot if he wins vs Jan, when is Jiri fit again is all im asking man cause Alex barely took damage Jiri should be ready in 4 months or they should give it to Ankalaev or someone Else it would be unfair to let Alex wait that long tbh
And Jamal is out for atleast 8 months maybe even 10
Or rakic
Jiri is the only option at this point, if he’s not fit give him Izzy again
But is it?
Alex actually showed good ground defence
Always loved pereira as a kickboxer! Nice to see he is improving so much! Very humble fighter and a beautiful human being
True warrior !

@@math4827 What
Jan looked really slow and exhausted there I think age has took a toll on him
you do realize he was at high altitude right? he gassed out by the 2nd round. he was slow cuz he was exhausted.
altitude.
I don’t even think it’s the age just fighting at higher altitude is what did it specially if you don’t get there weeks early to prepare for it yea that’s why he was gassed after 1 round
He gassed himself in the 1st round.. he spent a lot of energy trying to hold Alex down.
Jan has always had cardio problems, and the fight was at high altitude which made it worse.
Just saw the main event ko, Herb Dean is the goat for being so quick with the stoppage

one time he did something good
early stopage

Effective Striking and Grappling. Finally works.
Good freakin fight that was !!! Pretty close, I agree on the decision, while Jan had two good takedown, the last one was not enough, if he had took him a bit earlier in the round I think he would have won it .
But man Alex is something else at LWH, the power was real .
Jan clearly won the striking exchanges in round 3. This was a robbery

@@georgeeast9271 Alex deserved the win. Besides he makes 205 much more interesting. Nothing against Jan but he had his time and moment of glory.
Clear victory btw. His submission defense and ability to get up was very very impressive. And only 3 months after getting knocked out. His chin looked good without the strong weight cut. I think he’ll be the next champ.

I think jan knows that he'll not win on stand up so he poured it on during the first round with his wrestling. But he failed miserably and gassed.
Pereira has crazy recovery. How did man got through this fight after being finished bad 3 months ago….His cardio is fr and his leg kicks are death. Lets see what he does with jiri. Without altitude and the threat of takedowns this fight screams banger
That was close!!!
Alex stuffing the takedown shows greatness.
His cardio is impressive
with glover in his corner and the rate that alex is improving, he could be one of the greatest combat sports athletes
Alex defended amazing against the grappler really improved on the ground he was able to stuff takedowns and get up to stand and bang it out for the win
The pop when the winner was announced man people really loved pereira in utah. N also this is one of the longest octagon interview joe rogan was asking question after question
Much love from Germany Alex ❤
Real man 🖖
Looks like he's jumping straight to the front of the line or title shot. Imagine if the UFC is doing that to set up the fifth fight or a 11teen with Izzy that's a crazy match up 🧐🤔🤨😮😳😉😊😅😂🤣

Alex great performance. That first round showed your growth . I thought you pieced him up on the feet too
Hell yeah. Amazing improvement on the ground. Parabens Poatan!
UFC needs to stop having events in high altitude places. Both were tired, especially Jan, feels like we were robbed of a good fight
That is a good point but these guys know where the fight is and should take enough time to acclimate themselves. Minimum 3 weeks at altitude

I like them both, felt for Jan and so happy for Alex.
And Alex what a story, His first time fighting LHW in MMA and he beats a tough former champion, amazing
He has beaten two UFC champions within 6 UFC fights. wow
as a big pereira fan i must say that we all expect a ko from alex But sometimes it is better to play it safe. it was a very close match, alex showed that he can defend himself better in wrestling. Alex played safe he did not take a big risk, other than that any match after you are ko beaten in such a way as alex is most likely that your performance will be less in your first next round. his next match he will be even more aggressive and take more risk and hopefully even go for a quick ko! chamaaaa
Great to see Alexs defence on ground. He survived rear naked choke that's highly commendable. Jan was fucking scared for a stand up fight with pereira not surprising he went for a take down very early in the fight but that cost his endurance.
Alex's ground game seems to be getting better. I'm sure chocking Glover in that brokeback mountain situation did wonders for him
On another note, it’s awesome to see Pariera and Adesanya both shine in their own respective divisions. You don’t see that often for two guys that have fought each other as much as they have.
I still have no clue how Alex gets down to 185ib. The dude made Jan look small.
@@dillianwhyte443Nope, Jan was bigger but not by much.
I think that fast improvement at the highest level is the definition of an athlete
Congratulations Alex
It showed that Alex Perreira trained hard agaisnt the takedowns especially training with a legendary wrestler like Glover
It was a good MMA fight not just stand up fight. I m glad alex won. Would love to see him against jiri or against magomed ankalaev.
Congrats Champ. Can’t wait for the next fight. Chamaaa!
Yes so happy for Alex
Anyone saying this was a robbery, do you know how fights are scored? By this logic Jack della madellena lost his last fight. A takedown with no damage does not get scored very heavily. The first round Jan hung into him and did nothing that is in no way a 10-8, 2nd and 3rd clearly got out struck and was on his back foot exhausted. That takedown at the end was so pointless the judges probably didn’t even take it into account. Alex did all the damage in the fight and is the clear winner. You cant get a couple of takedowns do nothing with it and cry robbery, that’s ridiculous
if it was a 5 round fight jan would definitely be ko'ed my man was exhausted while just sitting on alex. Congratulations alex👍👍
future mma double champ🏆🏆
Pereira's ground defense was so good
Alex deserves more credit for actually being more cautious this fight and he was able to defend takedowns.
Am I the only one who feels for ankalaev, like he didn’t even get mentioned as one of the potential for the vacant title, if anything it should be Ankalaev vs jiri if he’s ready or Alex for the title
Close fight but Alex defo deserved the win, wouldn't complain if a rematch was made
It is so hard to give Pereira a loss;and he has proved it to those who didn't know!
Pereira leg kicks are so underrated
Alex win fair and square control and no damage = no win
What damage did Alex do to Jan besides Jan gassing himself out??
This fight was a good mental prep for his title fight, especially with passing and walking through the uncomfortable.
Congrats Alex
Congratulations Alex Pereira!! Those low leg kicks did serous damage 🦵👏👏👏🇧🇷
30-27 Jan.
And I was rooting for Alex before and during the fight.
I had 2-1 Jan.
I mean Izzy won against Romero only on leg kicks... Alex landed huge kicks tho. Round 2 and 3 Alex
I had it 30-26 jan. 10-8 first round
Jan deserved this loss. I know this is mma but if you wanna wrestle. At least do something with your takedowns. Glad that Alex won
Yup Jan just laid on him.
Jan is Snorlax Cosplayer 😂😂 boring asf
Fax Islam did exactly the same to Volk but somehow they gave him points for his control time with no damage and no dangerous Submission attempts I dont get it Volk clearly won more sig. Strikes, look at Islams face dude could not even stand on his own feet after the 5th round his Team Held him up while Alex looked like he could have fought 5 more rounds..
But fuck yeah you are completely right
That was not the same thing bro. You can tell Jan didn’t want that fight on the feet. Alex should’ve broke his face. Islam at least went toe to toe with Volk on the feet and landed damage. Even Volk said that he underestimated Islam’s striking. Still they need to run it back
Jan was chilling in standup. Did Alex drop Jan or something? nah
Alex❤❤❤❤
Alex!!! Man is Just Amazing
He didn’t have a dominant performance at all but it was a very impressive performance. Beating Jan and being able to deal with his takedowns was something I didn’t expect
In the first round, Jan was a backpack, he didn't do any damage to Alex. Alex won the second and third round.
yea those heelstrikes from bottom !
Congrats Alex..warrior
Gaethje with the knockout hells yeah
YEEEAH
🥲🥲
Why herb Dean hit Dustin with elbow drop after lmao
Dustin got Usmaned 🥲
Beautiful kick!!! Gaethje is the man! 💪 Can't wait to see him do the same thing to Islam
Very happy to see Alex improving his overall-game. Excited to see what the future holds for him but Ngl.. feel bad for Jan. very close fight none the less
Congratz pereira.. wow
