It's not fair and doesn't make sense to get to skip the line over guys in every division and get to fight for the belt straight away off one win in a lower division. Alex needs to defend the belt a couple times before he moves up.... and I'm sure he can and will move up to heavyweight after.

@bane3991

2 ай бұрын

@JordanAlbert-fu9jz He's 36 years old about to be 37 soon. He isn't the youngest guy on the roster. This is when a lot of guys start leaving their prime. It's fair that he skips the line because he earned it. He earned it by beating 1 of the best middleweight to ever live to get the belt and winning the belt a weight class up. He most certainly has earned it. He only lost 1 time in his ufc run. I would agree with defending the belt a few times before moving up in weight. However, he already has 2 titles to his name. He wants to make history. He deserves this.

@lakaka5169

2 ай бұрын

for me 1/2 title defenses would be perfect. That way his status as a dominant lhw champion would be secure. After that he should take his time to gain weight because he simply looks too small for heavyweight rn. That way he can give his best shot at heavyweight and still be known as a dominant champ with solid title defenses even if he looses. If he fights at HW once and instantly gets a title shot and looses by an early finish he would loose so much respect

@bane3991

@lakaka5169 But he's getting older and this is his chance to make history and be the first ever 3x championship holder. I don't think that's a good move for him. He looks really big even at 205 so he doesn't really need to take time to put weight on like that.

@DraconianD

2 ай бұрын

Def not a mistake… Its a money decision and I get it. I’d rather see Alex defend his belt 4-6 times before he makes another move through divisions. More strictly divisional champions, the more PPV card toppers… After all he claimed vacant belt against someone who wasn’t champ, had just two 2 LHW defences while he was a one time MW belt holder. I don’t agree with postponing the LHW just for the sake of a historic opportunity, an opportunity I don’t think he’s earned yet. Everyone wants to see it but it doesn’t make sense for his career, the company or for any of two heavyweight champions to take a side quest when they’re rightfully supposed to be fighting eachother. But hey Aspinall periera is the easy and best option, interim doesn’t mean as much when there’s still a championship bout signed and ready to go for later in the year.

everyone is at least 10~20lbs heavier when they fight, Alex took weight cutting to the next level he used to fought at 185 lbs.

He didn’t say he wanted to go to HW definitely, he even said he was happy in LHW, he only expressed the desire to fight in Brazil. As a title fight is complicated to promote in three weeks, he said he could climb a category for the opportunity.

He didn’t mention Stipe 😂

At some point you've got to give him the chance to go for greatness.

We all want to see him go up to heavyweight!

Personally, Pereira needs to work on his ground game a lot more! Having a heavyweight on top of you would be crushing! Pereira is a beast in the ring, but heavyweight is a whole new game

There's zero chance Alex would beat Tom or Jon.

Having champs constantly hopping weight classes lowers the stakes for everyone else, because either the contenders have to wait forever to get a title shot, or there's a risk that a title fight features one fighter coming off a loss (like Volk v Tapuria). These situations are bad business for the UFC.

They are too heavy for pereira. One bullrush and the fight goes to the ground (if they are not stupid enough to keep it standing)

I would LOVE to see Alex as the first triple champ, but I also dont want either Top or Alex to lose to one another since I like em both.

Still weird comparison. Max was not known as a hard hitter at FW and got clobbered by Poirier. So natural to assume Gaetje would do the same or worse. Pereira hits harder than the whole ufc roster. He’s about Stipe height/weight. It’s not a crazy move up by any stretch. Only 2 guys that could give him issues are JJ or Aspinal imo. Rest of them get shadow realm’d.

it doesn’t make any financial sense to let a champion hop between divisions… when will we see the LHW defended next? if he fights out of his division, it’s definitely for the interim belt then the undisputed… anything else would be pointless.

I would be damn excited to watch jone vs alex

I love Pereira, but lets be real here, he isn't becoming a three division champ while Bones is still breathing.

Alex Pereira vs Cyril Gane in heavyweight could be interesting. Two kickboxers.

I think Alex should have one or two more fights in LHW. If he wins those fights, then he should challenge Aspinall for Heavyweight gold.

only thing that can stop Alex might be a wrestler like Ankalaev

Bruh he brought max but his example just supports the argument even more for alex to go up

‘You got Jones, you got Aspinall. The list goes on and on” the list does not go on.

He’ll get taken down and man handled by most guys in heavyweight

Being a sniper is one thing. Put him next to Derrick Lewis, the size will be evident 😂

I did, Max is a beast ...

I been wathing this since Tyson & Holyfield and went to "This" I did think Max Would/ Did Show Up JS.

He’s probably saying that because Alex will actually fight more than once every 3 years. Heavy weight got held up for 3 years by stipe and DC and now its being held up indefinitely by Jones and Stipe. Heck who knows if or when they will fight, and then who’s to say when or if whoever wins will defend their belt. Aspinall is gonna be 40 years old and retired by the time Stipe and jones finally fight.

Lol the miss direction 😂

jones vs pereira tho🔥😮‍💨

It's not the size of the man in the fight but the fight in the man.

Pereira needs to stay where he is. He fights Aspinall or Jones is gonna be a wrap. They have such a huge advantage on the ground they won't risk standing with him. He'll be grounded.

Jon vs Alex would get so many ppv buys

Poatan coming to our bones down finally

First time Dana has mentioned tom

Pereira and Gane would be an interesting fight. If Gane was champ it would make a potential title fight fantastic. However, I don’t see how Perfeira ever faces Jones, and after seeing the Volkov fight I have to wonder about his chances with Aspinal as well.

Perreira vs gane would be fire no lie

Toolbar said “I wrote it” Did u think Dana was gonna give u a car dipsh!t? He asked that because the majority thought max would lose including me 😮

Let Poatan fight for HW, it will be history if he gets the triple champ status. C'mon Dana,

Dana basically saying he doesn't want Jones bullying his last few good fighters 😂

Dont underestimate Pereira

Alex wins by 1 punch knockouts there a 0% chance he does that in heavyweight he’s screwed if he goes to heavyweight I haven’t seen anything special from Alex other than him getting one punch knockouts and that’s because he’s going in the octagon weighing 200 plus fighting light heavyweights

Pereira vs Jones

man alex is the greatest one dimensional fighter

He don’t want the LHW division to be absolutely ass. Cause if Alex leaves then nobody is a true lhw champ

I wanna see Alex and Aspinall fight Or jones and Alex…

Alex is special

Gotta keep the Jones record intact, for now.

Dana is careful with his words here. Specifically asked about 301 and heavyweight, but he only focuses on the latter. I have a strong feeling Pereira will be fighting Jiri at 301

I don't like him moving to heavyweight either but I'm not gonna doubt him

I think alex could beat Jones and spinal. I've been watching this sport for 30 years, and it's mma. You never know what's going to happen. Max is a perfect example of that. Styles make fights.

I would love to c jones/alex

Izzy is like me when I slayed the Elden lord one time after getting whooped 20+ times. Izzy is now staying in hus lane at middleweight while Alex slays LHW and now potentially HW’s.
