Media Alex Pereira currently weighs 228,4 lbs / 103,6 kg

[SeattleFightFan]

I'm all for updating rules to stop systemic massive weight cuts for all fighters. I've been arguing for it for years. I can support my arguments for widespread policy changes with data and logic.

But until said updates, I refuse to pick on any one fighter who does what most of them do, but a little bit more so.

I'd like to see Alex fight in all three divisions. He could definitely beat Jiri at LHW to be champ champ.

I'd root for him against gane or something too in a year or two.

Can you imagine a 260lb Pereira?!

lol

 

[GUY]

It's funny because he could actually beat Jiri and Ngannou

 

[Tweak896]

All the people who say if you cut too much weight you get bad cardio or a bad chin need to see Pereira. The downside isn't as bad as the upside hence why they cut so much.

 

[Xoleth]

Big frame, but he doesn't have big legs

He was skinnier in the past
He probably went on 5x5 or Juggernaut

Jiri maybe, he has a chance in that one. Ngannou would just wrestle him. Too big too strong.

not that I think he definitely wins. But they are both brawlers and Alex is more technical and able to KO any of them. Btw you mention Ngannou would wrestle him, but Jiri just submitted Glover last fight, could probably have a path to win there.

Oh I definitely think Jiri can wrestlefuck Alex. No doubt about that, but Jiri is very hittable and that's a problem.

and Ngannou is not?

 

[Nobru]

Izzy has more speed than Alex.
Jiri doesnt. Neither Ngannou.
If they decide to stand and bang, Alex most likely KOs both of them, same night. Their striking skills are CENTURIES away from what Alex does. If its just stand & bang, Gane is a harder matchup for Alex IMO
If they decide to grapple and can do it well/fast enough, Alex may be in trouble

Just 6 days after he made UFC’s middleweight limit

Your MW champion everyone...

What a stud...a HW hiding at 185lbs

Meanwhile Izzy barely made 205 against Jan..

That said ..if you sign to fight and you lose it is what it is


My choice is HW...why cut weight if your 6'4.. A 235lbs Alex would be a problem

 

[MMonk]

Bisping admitted in interviews he ate up to 230+ as well, so it's not unheard of

WTF

 

[Domitian]

and Ngannou is not?

Refer to post #87.

 

[GUY]

Refer to post #87.

I meant very hittable

 

[Azure]

Who Cares

 

[Captain Insano]

I dont get how he makes weight, hydrates back and manages to go hard in the 5th round of a title fight to get a TKO....

Is there actually an IV ban b/c I don't see how this is possible

Boxers have way better cardio than MMA guys.

Go watch Mayweather's YouTube and you'll see him putting in serious roadwork and gym work.

 

[Kommit]

Where does all that weight go? the guy gains 10kg and looks identical

was about to post that lol

 

[welcometohavoc]

Same weight as Miocic was in Ngannou 2 fight, and it's not like Pereira is carrying more muscle mass than Miocic was in the Ngannou 2 fight.

Dude has a HW frame.

So does Izzy

 

[SalvadorAllende]

I still remember when sherdoggers used to say that Anderson walked around 235lbs. lol
