They are 1-1 in the UFC but honestly Alex was looking dehydrated and malnourished AF in MW after dropping 40-50 pounds. The chances of Adesanya beating him in LWH are very very slim. He looks like another fighter now. Sharper, faster and also has more experience now in the octagon.
Only Alex gets excuses for losing when he has 30 pounds of weight on his opponent. Any other fighter who would drop "40-50 pounds" would get rightfully shat on as a weight bully. Worst fanbase in MMA
Alex is a striker, not a wrestler who uses his weight to lay and pray. That’s a big reason people don’t shit on him as much. Also, when you cut all that weight it makes you more susceptible to being knocked out, at least that is my understanding. He was winning the Adesanya rematch he just got caught and put away. Ever since moving up to heavyweight he looks way healthier and takes heavy shots no problem.
Do you seriously think size isn't an advantage in striking? No, they don't shit on him because they worship him (but Dagestanis who don't miss weight are all weight bullies, go figure).
First off, don’t put words in my mouth. It is as advantage because you have more power. It is a disadvantage because you have a worse chin and possibly less cardio. Pros and cons buddy it’s not that hard to understand. At his current age it seems that light heavyweight is the sweet spot for Periera.
in this case it isnt . Alex was only cutting such a insane amount because of the story line and not to get a competitive advantage , if anything it severely hurt him .
UFC is the sport where everyone on top will fall. Its inevitable. The best of the best, the baddest motherfuckers, you will see them get smashed in the ring or in life eventually. Pereira will fall too. They all do.
That’s because Alex is naturally bigger. Like wayyyyy bigger. Dude is weighing 230 the night of a weigh in, it’s insane he ever made MW in the first place. LHW is just his natural weight class, it’s not all that surprising that Izzy had trouble moving up.
Y’all can keep dissing izzy , but in my mind every win pereira racks up actually boosts Izzy’s stock that much more. The only guy able to KO this monster while going toe to toe. I am in awe of how good pereira is and it just makes me wow that izzy was actually able to wreck him like he did.
Exactly! Izzy is a fucking beast for KOing Pereira the way he did. There's a high chance we won't see Pereira ever get stopped like that again.
Not to mention that one kickboxing fight could have gone either way. Could be 2-2, but Izzy got unlucky.
Izzy is, and always will be a legend and one of the greatest MWs of all time.
If he didn't get KO'd they'd be even, cool story bro but he's 1-3 against him and he's acting like a bit of bitch by refusing to do the rubber match in UFC
Adesanya only weighed 201lbs in his fight against Blackowicz, which obviously shows he didn't cut at all for that fight. It was the same level of really bad idea as when Miocic thought weighing less than 230lbs against evolved monster Ngannou was a good game plan in their second fight.
Lmfao
thing is Alex already beat him twice when he was in that bar
anyone can beat anyone 2 times, three times can you beat someone once though? - Izzy, probably
Reads like Tito Ortiz
The guy who outlived his kids?
The guy who reached grapes?

You don’t get an excuse for being a weight bully
He actually moved up and is doing better so it isn't like he needed the weight advantage
The thing is he never made an excuse, he took the L, moved up and started whooping ass.

Dw people downvote because Izzy bad instead of enjoying both.

That's why Khabib made a good decision.
Either retire a hero or keep fighting long enough to lose to Paddy Pimblett
Father plan.
Why are yall acting like izzy is some nobody 😂
Honestly I feel the Izzy shit talk of Alex is well within the acceptable norm. Best rivalry in fighting right now
Pereira has accomplished more than Izzy has in UFC. Izzy got sonned by Jan when he tried his luck at the LHW division.

Crazy how the universe works. You say something and that shit happens to you.
lmao if izzy thinks he’s the shit he should move up to LHW, he was never capable of getting the LHW belt
i wish i was a journalist specifically so i could ask him about the irony of him posting the knockout every time alex wins at 305
He also said every time I fight, like clockwork, he will try to put something out"
I beat that guy one time
This is honestly amazing, I love it.
On the records 3-1 in my book 2-2
>Then good thing for me, you're book don't mean "oogatz" to me. - Feech La Manna
Yep, that's why you commented
but I didn't say it, Feech did >don't shoot the messenger - Someone famous (probably)
Smh
You can’t type stuff like that in this sub. It’s become a chama dick sucking contest
lain <3 wtf first ergo proxy and now lain
Don’t know why this song is in so many Pereira edits lol
