Detail. In addition to Ankalaev or Blachowicz being an option that doesn't have 5% of the value of moving up and trying to triple I'm not exaggerating. Winning against Ankalaev does not mean 5% of winning against Aspinall or Jon Jones Besides, it's not like Ankalaev deserves a title shot He has one victory in 2 years and 4 months until November and against WALKER an NPC Clearly the UFC has to put Poatan against Jones or Aspinall and do title eliminator at heavyweight BECAUSE THERE IS NO ONE AT 93KG ON THE LAST TWO YEARS The best said has a victory in two years. In fact, Ulberg with 4 knockouts in two years is higher than Blachowicz and Ankalaev and Rountree with 4 wins also in the last two years ANKALAEV VS BLACHOWICZ RAKIC VS ULBERG JAMAHAL VS ROUNTREE It's the fights you have to do to generate new challengers

Ankalaev didnt do shit to get a title shot, he’s a nobody. Hill is trying to get hype enough by hating on Poatan on social media to get a rematch. Since Jiri is out for god knows how long, make Ankalaev vs Hill around September for the title shot and Jan x Rakic. Meanwhile Alex waits and see his division and the HW unfold with Aspinall x Blaydes and Jones x Stipe, making his debut as a HW in early 2025. And ONLY AFTER that defenda his belt in LHW. Alex deserves this. Triple champ incoming.

@@annna6553 Yeah 2 fucking years ago, and since the draw he has only TWO fights (BOTH against JW). Fighting JW that was #7 in January (I think), doesnt get you the title shot. That was SIX months ago. Since then he spends his time tweeting about poatan and trying to speak his way to the title shot instead of fighting some real competition, maybe he is afraid he wont beat Jan in a rematch. IMO Ankalaev needs to fight against someone that is a top competitor in 2024 in order to fight Poatan , make it a rematch against Jan or fight Hill or Rakic idc. He does not deserve a TS right now and shouldnt get it by spending his time on Twitter instead of fighting.

Any fight Poatan takes from now on is a win win. If he wins it’s another title defense if he loses he’s free to move up to heavyweight
Ankalaev is on a 1 fight win streak, took 2 tries to beat Walker, and straight up refuses to fight unless he gets to pick the time and place. He acts like he's the champ. He ain't shit.
Just the fact that for the first time we can have a triple champ is enough for me to root for Pereira. He can even get KOed to oblivion after that, don’t care. Just want to see the circle on fire and something crazy happening on the sport!
how many more wins does the man need to get until Chael gets his last name right?
I would love it but Dana really really really wants John Jones to be the goat for some reason. Not sure if its the steroids or the wifebeating that makes JJ so relateable to Dana. But he does not want a wholesome guy like Aspinal or Pereira to beat JJ so he won't let them fight

@@mrmolloy That logic is dumb. This ain’t the WWE, the UFC is the most prestigious MMA promotion. Why have rankings? Why have belts? You would have some sense if that weren’t the case. There’s rankings for a reason. Look at the heavyweight division with Jon holding it up. Aspinall should be up next 100%. If champions constantly moved up after 1 title defense and or none. It would hold back divisions. It’s all reward not much risk. You get to not cut as much weight, create more buzz, make lots of money, and still be champion in your division. Along with the built in pity excuse “being like well he moved up and dared to be great.” Not saying they gotta have 12 title defenses. They should at least have 3 in my opinion or if excused any lower it’s cause the division is more or less cleared. Your right situation does matter. Though to say the fans need to agree for another man’s occupation and fight is crazy entitlement.
fastest way is beating Ankalaev then he would have beat pretty much everyone in the top 5. winning that third belt would probably finally get Chael to respect him enough to learn how to pronounce his name. lmao just call him Alex if its so hard to pronounce it i dont get it lol
Jon Jones fears Aspinal. Aspinal publicly claims Alex believes he can beat Aspinal... Similar to Jiri, somehow Alex got into Aspinal's head.. Makes me believe Alex can beat Jones, despite the obvious mismatch in styles.

This analysis is gold lol
Ankalaev is not a threat to pereira. Alex will knock him all over the cage. If Stipe doesn’t retire, he will have to defend against the interim champ. If he retires, which I think he would and should, the timing is perfect for Pereira. I don’t think Alex will be too enthused about fighting Blaydes, though. Blaydes is way better than Ankalaev.
If anyone we’ve seen can do it this dude can. He’s got the ambition drive and talent.
I think he should do the same thing he did with izzy, whether he wins or loses the ankalaev fight he should move up after it
Excellent point Chael! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

''things are not as simple as you might think but things are not as complicated as you might think'' Proceeds to get a stroke. ''Ankalayn'' Good jon uncle Chael
If he wants to be a heavyweight he just needs three bottles of pistachio flavored Jocko Molk.
Uncle Chael's take might be incorrect on this one. Alex's route to HW goes this Ankalaev, right, but not necessarily by a loss to Ankalaev. Alex said win or loss after the Adesanya fight he was going to LW
Losing at MW and then moving up to LHW did not really hurt Pereira’s stock. I think the same would go for if he loses at LHW and then goes up to HW. If anything, it’s better for the company if he does it that way so he doesn’t holdup either division. He should clear at LHW definitively and if he loses, who cares, move up to HW, we’d still love to see it.

He just needs to get through Magomed and that division is clear, no point him fighting Rakic, he’s too far away at 5 especially with losing to Jiri
Pereira beats Ankeleav, Izzy beats DDP, Pereira beats Aspinall, Izzy beats Sean, Periera beats Jones, Izzy beats Jan, therefore avenging all of his losses. Then Alex and Izzy both weigh in at 185, fight for all three belts, and finally these two settle the MMA rubber match and becoming the greatest rilvary in UFC history. Pipe dream for sure. But could you imagine.
Uncle Chael is on that white powder
“A division full of sandhagens” is absolutely and utterly absurd… 😂😂
People don't want alex at heavy weight they want alex vs jon which won't happen if alex loses at 205.
The guy was a freak at Middleweight. A guy that size its a miracle he could make Middle. He could well be the first Triple Champ.
Alex is a black belt bro lolll
Dana already said publicly that he believes Pereira is too small to compete as a HW. Only reason he got fast-tracked at LHW was because he dethroned Izzy and severely cannibalized his body to do it. He isn't exactly struggling to make 205.
Chael you forgot an extremely important detail. Ankalaev WHO SAID he was in high demand to be next? He only has one win in two years. The idea of being the challenger is based on the assumption that YOU'RE RECENTLY ON THE RISE WINNING FIGHTS Not the case with Ankalaev. Until October when he said he wanted to fight, he would have 1 win in 2 years and 4 months, how could someone like that compete? We can contextualize it further. HE NEVER BEAT A TOP 5 IN THE CATEGORY. His only victory in 2 years is Walker, who is a fighter better known for delivering knockouts to his opponents that winning fights Clearly there is a need to do a title eliminator now. And in the meantime there is time for Poatan to move up to heavyweight Rountree and Ulberg have 4 wins in recent years, they are on the rise and in the top 10. Clearly they need to put them both against top 5 guys to generate new challengers This is what the UFC needs to do NOW 1) Blachowicz vs Ankalaev 2) Jamahal vs Rountree 3) Rakic vs Ulberg 4) Nikita vs Volkan Here is material to generate the next 2/3 challengers

I want him to try it. What does he have to lose? Try to win the heavyweight belt then if he does he can just fight big fights at either weight. He would be the Goat!!
The reason why its different now and why the past doesn't matter is simple. Alex just saved the UFC'S ass twice in a row and they owe him a big favor. Oh and then you also have Rogan and the masses demanding it and we all know what matters most in getting traction with a fight.
DC fought Stipe while being Champ, Alex winning in the best option.
I think he wants to hold both belts at once like he did in glory
Adesanya , volksnofski was already champions and attempted double champ status.. Personally I don’t like the idea Alex step up in hurry , I think he has to prepare himself properly before , maybe a year and not return in LW
Fight Magomed, then challenge Tom for that interim belt. Thats the play imo
Ank says he gonna stand with him , I’ve heard that before somewhere.. He doesn’t duck anyone . He’s gonna make short work of Ank . Simple .
I think Alex Pereira is an amazing fighter. He just wants to fight whoever and doesn't care. You can tell it gives him so much purpose. He doesn't care who he fights next. He should fight whoever he wants. He will literally fight whoever the UFC puts infront of him and with pushes from Joe Rogan and also the giant payday that comes from the Jones fight win or lose it is something that would happen in the future if he can win his next 2 fights the third is Jones. He basically just says put whoever infront of me. The attitude is hoenstly the only genuine person I have believed this from with the way he says it and does it. He clears this division, fights once in heavyweight and then takes on Jones. That is what I see and all the while he keeps light heavyweight and defends it. I am a fan of him. I also love Izzy. I just like fighting to be real but in all honestly Pereira is one of the few guys who I see wants to fight again and again because he loves it. He wants to fight 305 for Pete's sake.
I love looking at history as the greatest trajectory for the future.
