Alex may not be the all time GOAT, he certainly isn’t far from it and he deserves to be the most respected fighter of all time for fighting anyone, anytime. The man just wants to fight and compete with the best before age catches up to him. He’s already considered old in the fight game and that’s how bad ass he is.
Honestly he has that Fedor & Jones demeanor, the all time bad mfers dont have to act to make themselves seem like something they aren’t. Stone cold killers.
@@i.g.7098 he would keep posting a picture of him knocking Izzy out everytime Izzy would win a match. He also let his son do that sleeping antic, which was very disrespectful. He didn't correct his son & basically encouraged it. That's not good sportsmanship. I believe there were a few other things as well
@@joedemaio1342 yeah Jon Jones isn’t like these other LHW’s that Alex has fought. He doesn’t need to try to prove a point by out striking when he knows he’s a beast at wrestling
True. But those lower devision are so deep in talent it’s like fighting a top 5. In lhw hw there’s typically a gap in talent between say 9th and even 5th
@@BobRoss-wm3lcjust because you didn’t get hired to run the circus doesn’t give you the right to be mad at him.. last time I checked clowns don’t usually beat volk..
@@SeanstrickIandvswomensmma yea because he’s being forced to.. If it were up to him (which it’s not, even though he hilariously thought it was) he wouldn’t have given him a title shot, he literally said it himself.
@@Choom89can’t imagine Alex saying that unlike Jones. Most champions wanna pick and choose like Topuria doesn’t even want to fight a top 5 contender bruh, the only other champion who will fight anyone is Islam but he doesn’t fight as frequently as Alex
@@user-uc7qb1su4eIslam still defends semi frequently. Definitely no Alex Pereira pace though, which is crazy considering heavier fighters need more time to recover.
@@TheStraightestWhitest Not that surprising considering he’s taking no damage currently. What surprised me more is that he recovered so fast from the Israel KO and actually gained momentum after that, I thought he was done after that considering his age yet he’s beaten 3 former LHW champs in a row.
I just hope they don’t give. Ankalaev the fight in abu dhabi Alex deserves to defend his title back home in Brazil I also think Alex would put him to sleep and leg kick him to death Jan showed the blueprint on how to beat magomed Alex has way more superior leg kicks and will get the job done
He’s already one of the greatest. But to be THE greatest is a long road. Alex has a better shot of being overall GOAT than being LHW GOAT funnily enough.
Ankalev wants to fight in abu dabi at the end of this year While Alex wants to fight right now. Since his last 2 fight Alex didn't even take little damage. He is ready @@msdtpt7225
@@jeepsrtslw The problem is, Izzy has proven he's quite a bit better than Alex as a technical striker. Over the course of their saga (including kickboxing), Izzy is up substantially in rounds-as well as strikes landed. Alex just has the nuclear option that most fighters don't. I'm not saying who's better or worse overall, I'm just saying that Alex hasn't done anything to warrant people saying Izzy isn't capable of beating him anymore.
Yeah well I wish he would get some flower ear before one of these wrestlers comes and beats him . I want to see him keep dominating , it’s a great show.
Dricus fight anyone tho, same with Leon. Leon accepted everyone thrown at him for 300 but everyone denied. Dricus also fought everyone on the come up. Now he’s fighting his nightmare matchup at 305.
@@masbodycheck3219that’s cap. If they wanted to fight everyone then they’d be fighting frequently as Alex and Islam do, not sitting back picking and choosing people to fight.
@@user-uc7qb1su4e they both just accepted fights man, ufc 305 and 304. And dricus did fight 4 times in a year in 2023. Now that he’s the champ he doesn’t need to fight as often, but he will.
@masbodycheck3219 ddp and leon both had opportunities to step up and save a card and didn't. Leon fights once a year. Granted ddp did fight contenders on his way up. Now he seems content to wait and not fight Sean but izzy who is like 1 and 3 in his last 4 fights. He also mouth kisses his coaches. They could definitely learn a thing or two from Alex
Ankalaev and Pereira are the only real elite in this division everybody else are ridiculous tbh, Pereira the antenna fighter or Hill the crybaby fighter or Glover the oldest fighter lol.
Of course theres always that one person who keep on doing the "Oh i bet he cant beat Jamal hill" "Oh he beat Jamal? Nah rematch with Jiri lets see if his rlly the champ" "Lol This man is ducking Ankalaev i knew😂" This is exactly what Khabib said.. There's always that one person that cant wait to see your Downfall
@risottonero4501 and am I missing something? When did Alex said he didn't want to fight him. He clearly said ask dana then said he'd fight anybody. How is this proof that he is ducking him? I'm genuinely asking
@@chrisherrera1106and yet, people seem to forget that Ankalaev, not Jamahal, were supposed to fight Alex in the 300 card. And it was Ankalaev who ducked.
You do realize Styles make fights you guys are holding his win over Jan how crazy does that sound you're not holding a loss against him you're literally holding a win against him that's crazy he was being cautious in that fight because of the takedowns we knew it wasn't going to be a spectacle but what has he done since you guys said that he would not survive in this weight class and he has went there and done just amazing Jon Jones is a beast but I don't think John would want to stand with Alex to be honest he would use his other tools Alex's striking is way better I know you guys probably won't see that but if you actually pay attention you'll notice
@@randywoods8657 No f*** that. Unfair advantage for Ankaleav. Hes not champ he doesn’t get to put those rules. Plus Alex just fought and f’d up his toe
@@youngmarius5875 a toe takes 4 weeks to heal And the UFC like oil 🛢️ money Abu Dhabi pays good money Trust me Perera vs Ankalaev main event Khamzat vs probably Whittaker co main
@@youngmarius5875man fight happens inside square circle it doesn’t matter where you fight, Ankalev never demanded a fight in Abu Dhabi I’m not sure where you guys are getting this information
@@JAIWHYyou calling him a casual it sounds more like you’re just a hater. Ankalaev knock his opponents out has wrestling and grappling. He actually defeated Jan in my opinion however the fight between Jan and Alex was clearly a win for Jan but judges gave it to Alex. Jan outwrestled Alex, and Jan got mauled by Ankalaev when it got to the ground. Do you see your casualness now lol
Alex is the real definition of a true fighter he doesn't make excuse of cutting weight or doing Ramadan, he's ready anytime anywhere against anyone. Nobody absolutely nobody is like him. He's beyond religion and excuses when it's about the job .
I love that that he is down the fight arguably the worst stylistic matchup he can fight and he just says anyone can get it what a legend and if he pulls it off then he passes Jones in the goat conversation he didn't take steroids
Why will he mention his name ? BumGalaev is a nobody. He got the title shot and then fumbled. Illegally knees Johny Walker and now wants title fight again after beating Johny ? 😂😂
Ankalaev’s most recent significant win is against Johnny Walker. Alex doesn’t need to call anyone out, he said I’ll fight anybody, meaning Anka isn’t the biggest fight for him.
Have to say.. this is the only champion right now that is doing it right. He takes whoever wants it. He will go down in history if it continues like this for sure
@@koalawithchaingun53 I wanna see his cocky ass get smoked standing if he thinks he can take a dude with more than a decade of kickboxing under his belt Mighty Mouse keeps saying don't fight an elite kickboxer standing, it's a mistake and you'll pay for it.
@@honorylealtad5596 what ?? The only one who ducked Pereira is Ankalaev… not only one time but 2 freaking times…. Pereira said he wanted to fight sooner than when Ankalaev wanted to do it…. He refused UFC 300 and 302 if I remember correctly, he even faked an hand injury… See where is the problem with this Dagestanis or this Russian Muslims ??? They talk a lot but they just want to fight 1 time in a year and only if they fight in their mum’s backyard… They act like they are ready to fight anyone anytime, but in reality they agree to fight only in Dubai o Abu Dabi with all the fans, the odds, judges, doctors etc etc in their side…. They ain’t no warriors, especially compared to the most active fighter in the whole UFC and the guy who had the fastest gold run, become 2 division world champion…
@bluesoul7163 ru-vid.comzNPnrNOAnxA?feature=shared The proof ankalaev never refused pereira at 300. A grown man having such a huge fanatism for another grown man that makes him inventing narratives. So sad lil bro
@@honorylealtad5596 you are talking to a mirror… because the fanaticism shown by inshallah casual MMA users, since Khabib beat Conor is off the charts.... I can link you to videos or pages that say the exact opposite... the point is that I don’t care, with the difference that it's you and the Dagestani or Muslim Fighters like Chimaev, who set tongues wagging and talking about others.... when I repeat the facts prove otherwise.. . that there are those who speak while there are those who have become the most active fogter of the federation... You can’t say “I am ready to fight anybody anytime….” Than when they offered you the challenge, you started saying “well only that precise month, only in Dubai or Abu Dabi bla bla bla…” If you are ready to fight you even accept short notice fights, as Pereira did… no bs, no talks, just facts… and 2 belts as well… Keep crying sons
Ank already got his title fight just 1 fight prior . Why would he gets the fight after beating Johny ? It is not that he is undefeated either. He lost to Paul.
This new generation “I’ll have to go back take time off and talk with my couches and maybe we can see what the ufc wants to do, but idk” Ruining all momentum and hype, and not lining up their next job. Brilliant.
That never backing from a fight attitude comes from his vast Kickboxing experience. The guy has faced so many heavy hitters, nobody feels like a threat to him.
Alex P. is the embodiment of service. That’s what this job is, to put on the best show the world has ever seen and become something people will not soon forget. Pereira honors the title by fighting any challenger worthy enough to lay claim to it.
This man is going to go down in history as one of the best if not the best hats off to a person that will fight anybody at any time love this #bigballs
Imo this is Pereira’s hardest fight yet. But he’s kept winning in stunning fashion so I don't see why he won't do it again. He’s a dangerous man! The respect and admiration will only go up if this Pereira’s his next fight. Pereira seems like a good man and is definitely influencing people with his positive masculinity.
Khamzat vs Poatang would be crazy in a fantasy world. One is a stoic hitman and the other is a bloodthirsty barbarian. Both are absolutely fearless and willing to take on anything in front of them.
All the other champs going after money fights have really helped boost Alex's image in the ufc as a guy who's not in it for the money but just to prove he's the best
He’s not even saying it in an arrogant way, he’s literally saying “Yeah they all deserve a shot, I’m gonna fight whoever is next in line,that’s up to the match makers not me” when was the last time we saw a Champion actually be that respectful and honest? He’s a great Champion Would love to learn a bit from that man #ThePeoplesChamp
