He is not saying that at all. Maybe watch the video again. He is implying that Jiri Prochazka could be injured and Smith would be the replacement, which he would be if something happened or has happened to Jiri. Maybe Chael knows more or just saying it could be something that happens because of all of the pull outs. He never implies deserved at all.
I disagree , Anthony hasn't done anything deserving of a title shot. He's been in the UFC longer than Alex and hasn't fought Hill , Jiri or Jan.

Poatan also has great defensive skills that might actually nullify Jones's oblique kicks, which would be something to see.

That would be amazing, however he has no chance of beating Jon jones, stipe or tom aspinal. They will grapple him and he will be f’d. Alex has done well enough to keep 185 lb striking guys from beating him with grappling. The heayweight division is a yuge jump up physically and the three best guys are great grapplers. It’s incredible Alex has done what he’s done, he’s a legend already. But there’s a line and this is past it.

I find it funny when you say he hasnt got double digits and has an amateur record but he still had some real battles in kickboxing against good strikers.

Wow, what a backhanded compliment! Chael : “Alex is one win away from being the greatest of all time!” Also Chael: “He should fight Anthony Smith!” In what world does it make sense to match up the greatest ever against a never was? I’m on the edge of my seat when Alex is about to fight. I don’t even care if I see Smith fight. Just because Anthony says some ridiculous stuff on his podcast doesn’t make him a viable opponent.
Does Muay Thai count? Cause about a month ago in Thailand.
right man, right place, right time.
If there was ever a guy that deserves an actual piece of ownership in the company instead of PPV points and extra money it's Alex Pereira. The guy has saved two cards now this year alone and been the biggest draw on like 2-3 others.
No matter what happens, the fact he has only displayed 1 skill set and likely only has 1 skill set is crazy considering his success. Alex seems to be a fighter who wants to prioritize fighting and not the other aspects of the sport. Big fan now.
