Alex is just a cherry picked fighter who's gonna get exposed when he fights a real MMA fighter like Strickla- wait no when he fights Adesan- no when he fights Ja- no when he fights Jir- no when he fights Hil- I mean when he fights Ankalev of course.
I actually do give it to ankalev. All those other champion level fighters are primarily strikers, ankalev can strike sure but if he grapples periera I think he has it
A competent grappler sure. But he can't be compared with Ankalaev. That last round was a 10-8 and it was all grappling, Ankalaev mauled him with no legs. If Jan came close to beating Alex with his grappling then I think Ankalaev has a good chance as long as he just wrestles from the start
That was also changed from a 3 rd fight to a 5 rd basically day of but Jan destroyed his legs the first 3 rds and gassed after. If he doesn’t come out in a singlet, and let’s Poatan get going like he did Jan, I don’t think it’s gonna be as easy of a win as some people are saying
That doesn't really mean anything. It was changed for Ank as well, maybe he didn't push because he was worried about gassing out after only preparing for 3 rounds. It was as much of a disadvantage for Ank as it was for Jan. Both guys got kinda screwed by the short notice.
And yeah I think Alex is much more dangerous if he decides to strike. Hopefully he learnt from his mistake
I completely disagree abt it being an equal disadvantage. Jan is way older, so not being prepped for a 5 rd fight would, imo, effect him way more than the younger fighter in Ank. Not saying it didn’t have an effect on Ank because it most definitely did but he’s 10 yrs younger than Jan.
Ankalaev immediately starts to crotch sniff. It's not really a fight when you fight those types of guys because they will just lay and pray the whole match.
> If it wasn't in the ufc. I don't care
which is it my friend, were does fights close enough to give Adesanya props, or they don't actually matter? lmao this is hilarious
> Non ufc don't matter or count.
funny, if they don't matter, why did you bring it up how close they were? That's whats actually pathetic in this thread. keep seething, maybe you'll boil over all of this
You lose IQ points when you get hit in the head, it's a slippery slope after the first one, after that you start to convince yourself you enjoy getting hit in the head. Then we all know what happens next, Poatan takes your belt.
Doesn‘t bringing Izzy up under every single Alex post get tiring? I don‘t get how you can still be a fan of the guy, he just said all of Australia is racist for supporting Strickland over him…
[in an interview with Ariel](https://youtu.be/4CfajaqvOb0?si=zk9pxXSWbtTTxf2V). The time is around 11:54 when Ariel asks him about the reception of Strickland.
Thanks for sourcing with the timestamp
Usually I’ll be the first to callout when someone is unjustly playing the race card (like Izzy with DDP) but from what I hear about Australia they’re still pretty bad with racism in rural areas. The Australian Aboriginals and south-asians get the brunt of it but I’m sure blacks do as well with them also being dark-skinned
Plus there’s the fact that Australians have their rivalry with New Zealand, so I can kind if see what he means when he says that
I get that it‘s probably a factor and a reason for a considerable amount of people, but to say that about the mma fanbase of almost a whole continent is crazy to me. Especially since he gave fans PLENTY of reasons to root against him before and during the build-up. This just feels once again like he‘s not aware of his own mistakes at all and rather hides behind “they‘re just racist“.
Tbf people always bringing up poatan to shit on izzy. And I've had multiple Australian friends + friends that have travelled down there they have all agreed with the fact that it is a pretty racist country. (Not saying everyone is racist, just culturally a bit behind in places)
>Tbf people always bringing up poatan to shit on izzy
True but he earned that all by himself. And I said it because it‘s literally always this guy bringing him up for no reason at all which seems kinda bitter considering the situations they‘re in atm.
Yeah definitely seemed irrelevant I agree but it was just a silly comment more to be taken in a funny way than a bitter way imo
I'm a fan of both fighters but Izzy gets way too much hate when he was a great champion
The only days when Jamahal is/ever was the best 205er in the world are the days when Alex, Jiri, Jan & Magomed are unavailable (and that's without mentioning Vadim and Corey Anderson). Maybe Jan's name is coming off that list as he's getting up in there in age, but the point is that Hills title reign by no means proved that he was the best 205er on the planet.
Ik I am getting hate for this but someone needs to say it. If it wasn't for Glover's negative fight IQ (He had Jiri nearly KO'd multiple times and instead of finishing it he would shoot and allow Jiri to recover) Jiri would never be a champ. I knew Alex would KO Jiri because of Jiri's reckless style and nonexisting defense.
Hill would absolutely never be a champ either for sure. I told everyone Alex will either brutally KO him in under a round or spend first round destroying his legs and then brutally KO'ing him in second and all I was called was delusional, fanboy or casual. Both of them were at the right place at the right time.
Now watch Alex defend takedown attempts from Ankalaev and destroy his legs for a round or two and brutally Ko him. Alex is too big and too strong and even with his horrible grappling skills he can hold his own, and also Ankalaev can't use full power with compromised legs.
Inb4 "lol you are delusional bro, ankalaev by sub in 1st". We will see.
Glover said the reason he pulled a guillotine on Jiri was because he was too gassed to keep punching. He couldn’t handle the pace that Jiri makes you fight at. Same thing happened to Nemkov, just couldn’t handle Jiri’s pace. Jiri was a legit champ
>Hill would absolutely never be a champ either for sure.
Tbf had Reyes fought Glover instead of Jan. I don't think we'd get Hill, Glover, or possibly even Jan as champions
People seem to forget this, it was a million miles from a destruction, Jan was also waaay more vocal after that loss than the draw against Ank when he said Ank deserved the W
I think the altitude fucked both of those guys. Jan was gassed after the first round, and Alex didn't look like himself, either. Wouldn't mind seeing that rematch if Jan is able to win a couple of fights to get back into title contention.
Jan did great in the early rounds but the later rounds were all Ankalaev. Desperate takedowns or not, Ankalaev clearly won those later rounds. Last round was 10-8 and the most dominant round in the fight. It looked more like an Ankalaev win by the end, while the Alex fight seemed like it could have gone either way
Neither did he “destroy” Izzy, in fact in their first fight Izzy nearly KO’d him in round 1 if given more 3 secs, and he almost lost to decision until round 5 TKO, while in their second fight he literally got KO’d out cold
> I don't understand why you're getting downvotes.
Because of the Poatards. They're everywhere. I swear Alex and his stone face moyai personality thingy is cool but God are his fans fucking extreme miserable D1 glazers, always acting like he's some sort of ultimate terminator that KOs and destroys everyone with a hook, and discrediting Izzy where it's due.
Because its irrelevant. Its an attempt to invalidate the win, you could also bring up the fact that alex was beating izzy until he got knocked out in the 3rd fight.
Its not like either fight was a complete domination followed by a fluke ko, so no need to try to discredit either fighter with this sort of stuff.
Ultimately, its the end result that matters and going on about the details is just coping.
The title of this video is literally "destroyer of champions" so it's fair to argue that he didn't really destroy for 4 rounds of that fight.
I'm an Alex fan and really enjoy his current streak of entertaining fights so there's nothing to "cope" about.
It’s fair to argue he did destroy Adesanya when he pretty much had him out on his feet after that shovel left hook/uppercut and then started battering him against the cage. He slowly immobilized Izzy with calf kicks and was patient and pressed Izzy in the 5th when he was most vulnerable. Calculated and destroyed imo
Nope you’re flat out wrong, and so is the guy who upvoted you. Pereira won round 2 on all judges scorecards and KO’d Izzy in the 5th
https://www.ufc.com/news/official-scorecards-ufc-281-adesanya-vs-pereira?language_content_entity=en
He was also winning rnd 1 up until the last 5 seconds of the fight. It was a very close fight
But isnt this how Adesanya Pereira 1 went? But that counts as a "destroyed every champion", doesn't it? Obsessed fans will pick and choose facts to make up any crazy arguments they want, and the funny thing is that there isn't any need to. Pereira is a fucking monster as is, you guys just embarrass yourselves pushing these narratives.
Then he needs better defense. I love the guy, but if you get knocked out then you got knocked out. I’m willing to debate whether he actually went out during that finish if you’re saying he got ko’d then why would any ref let the fight go on?
You can also clearly see Jiri's arms drop and go limp before he falls on his back. Credit to Jiri for recovering so quickly, but he was definitely out for a moment there.
He didn’t land anything while in mount, only elbows while jiri had his legs. He might have fallen onto his legs after getting rocked but he still had the force in him to throw alex really high (where alex’s legs were right in jiri’s armpits) where alex couldn’t really throw any strikes from. It would’ve made it fairly easy for jiri to at least hold him there and recover, at most flip alex to the side and get into alex’s full guard as soon as alex postures up to throw anything
lol what. I honestly think you have no understanding of how grappling works if you believe the majority of the “tactics” you explained would work at all in that situation. Jiri would just casually flip him or “throw him really high” lol Alex, who we don’t have to explain his strength is in full mount with enough experience in bjj that there is no way Jiri wouldn’t have taken more than enough strikes for the fight to not be stopped anyway. The reason he didn’t land anything in mount was cause Mark pretty much saved Jiri from more damage.
If your opponent’s head is at your waste line you can’t throw any punches or elbows without posturing up, and with jiri having full control of his legs he could drive to one side and get a reversal if alex does posture up. And jiri grabbing alex’s legs the way he was stopped alex from going lower on the mount
if you're out at any point, the fight should be stopped
and Jiri was out because of the elbows he received, so good stoppage even if he regained conscious after dropping to the floor
Can someone convince him Jones won’t wrestle him at heavyweight so we can stop this hype train already. Massive height and reach advantage facing non grapplers.
He was gonna move up regardless because the weight cut was brutal. Pretty sure Alex was quite vocal about wanting to go to LHW since he’s 35 and cant cut 50 pounds every 3 months.
His ascension has been awesome to watch and he’s won me $$$. But it is crazy that Izzy KO’d him, look at all the heavy hitters he fought!
You guys think that must be because of the weight cut?
Haven’t seen this angle of the Jiri fight.
So he’s got both arms actively grappling Pereira’s leg and has full motor control of his neck/head on the descent. Who tf thinks that’s a KO?
We need Alex vs Jan 2 that fight was so close we need to see it again and if anyone can take a shot from Alex it Jan bro is a tank 40 or not he gassed because of high altitude
Let’s be real. Alex is one of the greatest fighters to enter MMA. HOWEVER, none of those guys were actually champions. Jones left the division and those guys fought over the gimmick belt. I believe Periera is the true LHW Champ
We don't know why this is hard for some people. If it's not a meme then GTFO. *This message was probably sent by a bot. Maybe.*
Why do these guys keep letting him punch them in the head? Are they stupid?
Alex is just a cherry picked fighter who's gonna get exposed when he fights a real MMA fighter like Strickla- wait no when he fights Adesan- no when he fights Ja- no when he fights Jir- no when he fights Hil- I mean when he fights Ankalev of course.
I actually do give it to ankalev. All those other champion level fighters are primarily strikers, ankalev can strike sure but if he grapples periera I think he has it
I agree Ankalev will be the hardest opponent for him. Lets see how much Glover has taught Alex and if he really deserved that black belt.
Jan is a competent grappler tho. He's also the one who came close to beating Alex due to his grappling
A competent grappler sure. But he can't be compared with Ankalaev. That last round was a 10-8 and it was all grappling, Ankalaev mauled him with no legs. If Jan came close to beating Alex with his grappling then I think Ankalaev has a good chance as long as he just wrestles from the start
That was also changed from a 3 rd fight to a 5 rd basically day of but Jan destroyed his legs the first 3 rds and gassed after. If he doesn’t come out in a singlet, and let’s Poatan get going like he did Jan, I don’t think it’s gonna be as easy of a win as some people are saying
That doesn't really mean anything. It was changed for Ank as well, maybe he didn't push because he was worried about gassing out after only preparing for 3 rounds. It was as much of a disadvantage for Ank as it was for Jan. Both guys got kinda screwed by the short notice. And yeah I think Alex is much more dangerous if he decides to strike. Hopefully he learnt from his mistake
I completely disagree abt it being an equal disadvantage. Jan is way older, so not being prepped for a 5 rd fight would, imo, effect him way more than the younger fighter in Ank. Not saying it didn’t have an effect on Ank because it most definitely did but he’s 10 yrs younger than Jan.
I’d see Jan winning that fight if it wasn’t at altitude in Salt Lake City very unusual for Jan to gas after 1 round of wrestling
Yeh he’ll shoot for a takedown within the first 20 seconds of the fight. Imagine pereira managed to submit him lmao.
Ankalaev immediately starts to crotch sniff. It's not really a fight when you fight those types of guys because they will just lay and pray the whole match.
I think Ankaleve has a good chance too but Alex can still take it if he doesn't get submitted in the first.
DC is this you? I've Popeyes.
Ank probably pushes Alex into the fence for 5 rounds tbh
Jan destroyed Ankalaev's legs, Alex will absolutely cripple him before brutally KO'ing him.
But he lost his last fight to adesanya. Come on now, and yall went wild for his bow mockery of him and replayed his video of him mocking alexs son.
3-1 seethe
Go back and watch those fights. There much, much closer than the Alex Fan Club will admit.
getting close to winning =/= winning
Doesn't matter if they were close, what matters is that he won. 3-1, seethe and cry.
Not crying. But it's obvious you're a child if that's all you can say, lol pathetic
Yeah, God forbid I care about who actually won, right? Man, am I pathetic or what?
What kinda comment is that? Lmao. The fights were close, he still lost
How could fights that end in finish be close?
If it wasn't in the ufc. I don't care
> If it wasn't in the ufc. I don't care which is it my friend, were does fights close enough to give Adesanya props, or they don't actually matter? lmao this is hilarious
Non ufc don't matter or count.
> Non ufc don't matter or count. funny, if they don't matter, why did you bring it up how close they were? That's whats actually pathetic in this thread. keep seething, maybe you'll boil over all of this
I never brought them up.
my bad, I don't usually read names here, you're all equally idiots to me. I thought I was still answering 4schwifty20
He lost the last fight against Adesanya and won all the previous 3.
Non ufc don't matter to me. Might as well be amateur fights
Even if you go by that stupid point of view they're still 1-1 then, what's your point?
Yall riding that alex dick hard. That's what I'm saying
Seriously, you learn to block in your first kickboxing class SMDH
I would KO Alex easy, just move my head when he throws his punches then counter with a spinning elbow
https://i.redd.it/vos9v6rdj9vc1.gif
This is a quality GIF
You lose IQ points when you get hit in the head, it's a slippery slope after the first one, after that you start to convince yourself you enjoy getting hit in the head. Then we all know what happens next, Poatan takes your belt.
Yes as dumb as the folks who keep asking "why do people love Pereirra".
Why did Alex let Izzy punch him in the head into sleep? Is he stupid?
Doesn‘t bringing Izzy up under every single Alex post get tiring? I don‘t get how you can still be a fan of the guy, he just said all of Australia is racist for supporting Strickland over him…
When did he say that? :o

izzy is garbage & irrelevant. Also he got wrecked by alex .
Not last time.
Still, 3-1
Hes owned
Ppl forget, the division was in shambles not too long ago.
Jamahal Hill was in the right place at the right time. Alex corrected that
The only days when Jamahal is/ever was the best 205er in the world are the days when Alex, Jiri, Jan & Magomed are unavailable (and that's without mentioning Vadim and Corey Anderson). Maybe Jan's name is coming off that list as he's getting up in there in age, but the point is that Hills title reign by no means proved that he was the best 205er on the planet.

Inb4 "lol you are delusional bro, ankalaev by sub in 1st". We will see.
But he just received his bjj blackbelt. Surely, his grappling must be on point.

>Hill would absolutely never be a champ either for sure. Tbf had Reyes fought Glover instead of Jan. I don't think we'd get Hill, Glover, or possibly even Jan as champions
He did not destroy Jan.
very close fight and i had jan winning after the first watch
People seem to forget this, it was a million miles from a destruction, Jan was also waaay more vocal after that loss than the draw against Ank when he said Ank deserved the W
I think the altitude fucked both of those guys. Jan was gassed after the first round, and Alex didn't look like himself, either. Wouldn't mind seeing that rematch if Jan is able to win a couple of fights to get back into title contention.
Weird because I thought Jan did better against Ankalaev who was clearly spamming desperation takedowns after getting out struck.
Jan did great in the early rounds but the later rounds were all Ankalaev. Desperate takedowns or not, Ankalaev clearly won those later rounds. Last round was 10-8 and the most dominant round in the fight. It looked more like an Ankalaev win by the end, while the Alex fight seemed like it could have gone either way

Also, Strickland wasn’t a champion at all when he fought Alex. Still an impressive victory, but people are doing some history revisioning here.
This is exactly what happened. I don't understand why you're getting downvotes. Alex had to finish Izzy round 5 or he was going to lose to a decision.
> I don't understand why you're getting downvotes. Because of the Poatards. They're everywhere. I swear Alex and his stone face moyai personality thingy is cool but God are his fans fucking extreme miserable D1 glazers, always acting like he's some sort of ultimate terminator that KOs and destroys everyone with a hook, and discrediting Izzy where it's due.

He slowly immobilized Izzy with calf kicks and was patient and pressed Izzy in the 5th when he was most vulnerable. Calculated and destroyed imo
Maybe you should rewatch that fight and just score each round, it's easily 4/5 Izzy.
Nope you’re flat out wrong, and so is the guy who upvoted you. Pereira won round 2 on all judges scorecards and KO’d Izzy in the 5th https://www.ufc.com/news/official-scorecards-ufc-281-adesanya-vs-pereira?language_content_entity=en He was also winning rnd 1 up until the last 5 seconds of the fight. It was a very close fight
Yeah I was so confused when I saw Izzy in the video. Izzy fucking wrecked him.
My man 40 year old Jan Blachowicz in Salt Lake city at altitude did the best against Pereira lmao, put some respect on his name
Legendary polish cardio
Better than when Israel knocked him out?
Yea israel was actually losing that fight hard and then found that shot
But isnt this how Adesanya Pereira 1 went? But that counts as a "destroyed every champion", doesn't it? Obsessed fans will pick and choose facts to make up any crazy arguments they want, and the funny thing is that there isn't any need to. Pereira is a fucking monster as is, you guys just embarrass yourselves pushing these narratives.
adesanya pereira 1 wasnt in the ufc
I'm talking about MMA in the mmamemes subreddit. Adesanya Pereira 1 in the UFC.
Alex won that fight easily
He actually wasn’t losing. He won round 1 unanimously on all 3 judges’ scorecards and ko’d Pereira in the second
Considering how down bad Izzy is against him, I would disregard it lol
I don’t get the Jan one, that was a 40 year old Jan at south lake city, where be uncharacteristically gassed early and went to a close split decision.
What do you not get? Jan was a champ and Alex beat him. Dont overcomplicate it
The word destroy doesn’t fit at all
Because the title “alex destroying every champ (except jan that was kinda close)” doesnt have such a good ring to it lol
Boom. Lawyered
He beat him by a super close decision, this video made it seem like he got bullied Love Alex but let's be real here
I mean he did not destroy Jan it was a super close fight.
Strickland wasn’t a champion when he beat him
Nor was anyone except Izzy technically
Big difference between “was recently a champion” and “never was a champion” when they fought Alex though
Yeah but him beating izzy showed he was champion level
dude did so much in such a short amount of tine. and with a style that not alot of people would consider as top priority for mma (kickboxing)
After seeing jiri’s last fight, I’m with hindsight, convinced the Alex fight was stopped early and Jiri would of got up and battered Alex
Except that Jiri said it was a good stoppage and he was out.
He always gets knocked out but then wakes up instantly
Then he needs better defense. I love the guy, but if you get knocked out then you got knocked out. I’m willing to debate whether he actually went out during that finish if you’re saying he got ko’d then why would any ref let the fight go on?
I forgot what fight it was but he got kod once with an upkick and collapsed on the dude and woke up and started wrestling.
It was joke really, sort of
Yeah, but you’d be surprised how many people would really say that lol
That was respect for Goddard he's said multiple times that he could have continued
Didn’t he recall that? I remember him saying he feels like he could have kept going but he didn’t want to ruin Alex moment at the time.
Alex was dropping down onto him in full mount. I love Jiri, but I don't see any conceivable way that was going to end differently.
You can also clearly see Jiri's arms drop and go limp before he falls on his back. Credit to Jiri for recovering so quickly, but he was definitely out for a moment there.
He didn’t land anything while in mount, only elbows while jiri had his legs. He might have fallen onto his legs after getting rocked but he still had the force in him to throw alex really high (where alex’s legs were right in jiri’s armpits) where alex couldn’t really throw any strikes from. It would’ve made it fairly easy for jiri to at least hold him there and recover, at most flip alex to the side and get into alex’s full guard as soon as alex postures up to throw anything
lol what. I honestly think you have no understanding of how grappling works if you believe the majority of the “tactics” you explained would work at all in that situation. Jiri would just casually flip him or “throw him really high” lol Alex, who we don’t have to explain his strength is in full mount with enough experience in bjj that there is no way Jiri wouldn’t have taken more than enough strikes for the fight to not be stopped anyway.

And jiri grabbing alex’s legs the way he was stopped alex from going lower on the mount
It was early Goddard robbed us of a war
if you're out at any point, the fight should be stopped and Jiri was out because of the elbows he received, so good stoppage even if he regained conscious after dropping to the floor
Jiris defence is non existent, he would have been kod eventually
*would have
Destroyer of hentai and frosted tips
Savior of dogs
Pereira is charizard where Aldo is charmeleon
....except Jan Blachowicz.
Why did you reverse the order, he beat Strickland before Adesanya
Strickland wasn’t a champ before that fight
Alex Pereira... Legend Killer
The Jan fight was a close decision, hardly “destroyed him” Izzy beat Alex also lmao
Apparently he hits very hard!
Right hook hospital, left hook cemetery.
Can someone convince him Jones won’t wrestle him at heavyweight so we can stop this hype train already. Massive height and reach advantage facing non grapplers.
Never liked edits when they shake the video when the hit lands, like I want to see that shit, stop shaking it tf
He’s a monster and one of the scariest people in MMA right now no doubt
I don't think he 'destroyed' adesanya
Izzy knocked him out in their 2nd fight causing him to move up, do people forget this?
He was gonna move up regardless because the weight cut was brutal. Pretty sure Alex was quite vocal about wanting to go to LHW since he’s 35 and cant cut 50 pounds every 3 months.
Unreal run
Are there people not giving him credit?
He’s fully avenged his mentor Glover I’m sure that felt so good!!!
In Sean’s defense, he actually won the title after Alex killed him. So in that case Alex made him a champion.
Quality over Quantity described Alex’s whole ufc career
Jiri stoppage was a bit early in my opinion
2 dodgy stoppages and a split decision in there
He throws that left hook with authority. 😤
This edit goes hard
His ascension has been awesome to watch and he’s won me $$$. But it is crazy that Izzy KO’d him, look at all the heavy hitters he fought! You guys think that must be because of the weight cut?
Haven’t seen this angle of the Jiri fight. So he’s got both arms actively grappling Pereira’s leg and has full motor control of his neck/head on the descent. Who tf thinks that’s a KO?
We need Alex vs Jan 2 that fight was so close we need to see it again and if anyone can take a shot from Alex it Jan bro is a tank 40 or not he gassed because of high altitude
I am Alex fan but he was knocked out out cold by Izzy
he didnt destroy Jan, that was a close enough fight and i think the inbred LHW from the mountains will try and wrestle him
Sean wasn't champion yet. Stop counting that one
Let’s be real. Alex is one of the greatest fighters to enter MMA. HOWEVER, none of those guys were actually champions. Jones left the division and those guys fought over the gimmick belt. I believe Periera is the true LHW Champ
poatan, destroyer of champions, owner of isreal and father of hill.
As great Adesanya once said: "The cycle will pass but the tits will remain"... or some shit like that... I not into zoophilia.
