Who is we? Lol I had Pereira winning. Nobody in the ufc can stand with Pereira. Nobody. We're talking about a properly hydrated Pereira at 205. That punch barley landed and it knocked hill out cold. Imagine if it landed flush. If Pereira fights Tom at heavyweight he will win if tom stands up with him. The way tom wins is by taking Pereira down and either ground and pound or a submission. But I think Tom's ego will want to stand against Pereira and this will be his downfall.

It's not just ego, beating Pereira on the feet would also just be a massive boost to them as fighters and their personal brand. It's one thing if someone fights Alex and smothers him on the ground the whole time, it's basically what people expect. But if you can be the guy that beats Pereira on the feet, that'd instantly elevate you into being a superstar. The man who beat the monster at their own game. For Izzy it didn't really count since he was already a dominant champ and both him and Pereira are basically considered to be in their own tier of striking apart from everyone else, but for everyone else it's a chance to plant their flag.

His fights are menacing because he's really patient. Doesn't brawl or lose composure, just systematically breaks opponent down. Only time he's timid is if the opponent is a takedown threat like Jan, if you just stand with him, he hunts you down and waits for a split moment where you lose focus then, left hand.

Damn you gotta love Chael. Such a great guy.

Uncle Chael you always hit nail on the head with every division with every fighter!

Chael pronounced Marco Ruas perfectly, I'm not used with this.

Gets kicked in the groin Herb tries to stop the fight Alex waved Herb off, "let me cook" Alex knocks out Hill not even 10 seconds later Dude's a walking highlight reel

Greetings from Brazil, Chael. Marco "King of the Streets" Ruas is our GOAT. The pioneer in terms of cross-training. The first MMA fighter ever. Besides that, he became UFC Champion fighting 3 opponents in one night, Larry Cureton, Remco Pardoel and Paul Varelans. Winning the first two by submission and the last one by knocokout. A fucking savage. He's a true warrior. Humble, kind and a great example for the brazilian athletes. And now, Poatan is building a big legacy in UFC.

Damn. I watch ufc since the first edition. I can remember every fighter and fights that he talks about. awesome

What are you talking about? Some of the most successful champions in UFC history only defended takedowns so they could force you to strike with them. Anderson Silva, Chuck Liddell, Israel, Adesanya… Alex Pereira is just the final form. He’s literally built perfectly for a fighter. Exactly like Jon Jones and Sean O’Malley and GSP and Even Conor McGregor for featherweight. Super tall with a strong chest and skinny arms and leg legs makes it really easy to make weight and Use that size for under hooks and to counter takedowns. They don’t need know how to wrestle, just to keep you away from them and then under hook and toss you when you try to shoot. It makes to get super close against the super dangerous opponent that can use all eight weapons

The difference is those that you mentioned also had grappling. Being taken down, in most cases wasn't a worry. Or considered a weakness. Not saying that we can say it is Alex's weakness, because He hasn't been finished on the ground. But We know his background on the ground comes nowhere close to anyone else you mentioned.

Chael you're a madman!!!! Great stuff and great points man! 8 fights an amateur who could be the 1st 3 division champion is insane!

i think we all should revisit the conversation about "if anthony joshua and francis Nnganou were to have a rematch in MMA" Main argument was always "what's AJ gonna do against a grappler?" My response was always "strike. WTF, he is a boxer FFS. As long as his power shot lands before you clasps your hands, the rest does not matter" And we all saw just how fast he is against Nnganou. And here we are, having a similar debate about Alex Pereira. And even if ALex were to face an elite wrestler, foot work goes a long way. Ducking under to shoot or level change can be very dangerous against a striker with crisps technique, high level of fight IQ, and pin point precise strike. The whole point of MMA was never to see what styles mesh together, but to see what style is the best or has the best application/applied the best by a fighter.

Striking has been the dominant type of hand to hand combat for thousands of years. The UFC popularized MMA with a rule set that favors grappling and wrestling. Effective strikes are limited and often barred. There is a discussion on banning side kicks to the knee. Bam all effective strikes. The UFC bans small joint locks. A simple tactic that neutralizes a lot of grappling. MMA rules, favor grappling. But striking, is the superior form of fighting. And it’s been proven multiple times, by people like Alex Pereira, who are strikers with minimal wrestling and grappling skills. Striking is the most important skill in a fight

I was a young dumb street fighter back then and today after all those years of experience, I am now an old dumb couch fighter.

It's nice to hear that you're aware we haven't seen everything Poatan has to offer yet. The light heavy weight division is really exciting because of him. I wasn't a big fan of the UFC when i began my kickboxing journey but Poatan drew my attention to it more and more. I want to transition into training MMA soon now.

Great analysis Mr. Lethal Hands. Well, Marco Ruas, Wanderlei, Alex now….Brazilians like to push the next level when comes to fight! Chama 🔥

I think the ruleset of having rounds and breaking up a fight when grappling reaches it peak level of necessity destroys its quality. The longer a fight, the longer a round, the more the vitality of grappling is present. Alex pereira is a black belt jiu jitsu competitor for a reason. He is a fantastic grappler and supreme striker

Chael is the master of narrative spinning. All strikers that make it to the top of the division have excellent td d, Alex, Holloway, Adesanya, even gane, but he was fighting bones

I saw it from a mile away. Jamahal hasn't beaten anyone and had no business in that ring with Pereira. Jon Jones left a power vacuum when he left. Filling his spot in an aging division led to a truly novel sequence of events which let a 40+ year-old man ascend to the title. Jiri put an end to that nonsense - but he was fast-tracked to the title. Similarly, Jiri gets injured, leaving ANOTHER power vacuum in a talent-starved division. Desperate for an actual contender, Jamahal was fast-tracked to the title - which he got by beating up an old man. Tough guy, big accomplishment... If the UFC had enough warm bodies for a legit top-10 at LH, Jamahal would be a gatekeeper. Now the division has someone who's an actual champion.

I love Chaels history lessons so much. Throwing shine on Marco freakin Ruas like that. What a throwback fighter. Why was he so relevant? He was one of the first guys to throw it ALL together. Could he grapple? Hell yeah. Did he have subs? Sure did. Could he strike? With the best of them. Did he have a backup plan against 300 lb Paul Varelens? Yep! Foot stomps all night! Goddamn what a glorious sport. To watch the evolution from Gracie to Ruas to Coleman to Liddell to the spider to GSP to JBJ to Mac to O malley and on and on. We truly are witnessing evolution in real time. Great observation Uncle!

rooting for Hill but betting on Alex is a reasonable take. You cant bet with emotions.

I still think get someone on the floor and know the locks and the strangles the jobs nearly done, it helps if you are a good striker, but you need to know to do on the floor.

What makes huge difference in mma compared to striking only is how the fighter crosses the void or no mans land between them. Think about boxing they can put there foot a cross the void lean back, but mma you are in a good take down stance. As we fight with no gloves at all on one has to control the hands contact force, so void stays more empty, an the fighter has limit contact.
