Reminds me of sagat from street fighter

What a thing of beauty.

That’s actually not a bad comparison.

 

[RichardHarrow]

Anyone who fights Poatan must not let him gain momentum and rhythm, his opponent has to be light on the feet and keep him guessing. Being of range with a decent jab to disrupt Poatans ethic will also help. Pretty much Adesanya.

One dimensional rigid strikers is all he has faced in this division. Apart from Adesanya i don’t see anyone beating him unless Ankalaev smartens up and grapples with him.

Jan tried to grapplefuck Poatan but couldn’t. It’s not as easy as people think, Pereira is constantly springing in his stance loading up the knee if they shoot in. It’s dangerous. With that said, I want to see how Poatan would deal with a guy like Ank.

 

[Dorkman]

Sagat clearly natty

 

[Qays Stetkevich]

Yuuup and nice. He clearly (already) had Roundtree's distance and reach figured out, and then just went on offense while putting his defense on autopilot. A true pro.

 

[Nobru]

the aggression matrix

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Impressive.. specially given the fact that he is a +230lbs guy.

 

[ImTheTypeOfGuy]

A thing of beauty, apart from the comedy double ear slap attempt at the end.

 

[spinup]

Looking good but that's not flow state, that's a wounded, half blinded opponent throwing easily predictable desperate haymakers.

 

[TriangleMonkey]

The size difference sure helps in evading those haymakers and plugging in your own counters w/o moving out of distance too much

This is a case of why they call them the championship rounds. His ability to do this is more about Khalil being done than it is about Alex being in the matrix. Still remarkable performance from both men.

Alex' plan was, literally, to be careful in the first two rounds — and then to pour it on in the later rounds — which is exactly what happened.

The other element to Alex' game is the pressure he puts on opponents.

Alex weaponizes pressure and pace — always putting himself directly in front of the opponent, making him work, and gassing them out.

It's what he did in the first out of Adesanya fight, and it's what he was doing in the second MMA fight, when he got caught. Had he been more careful, and waited a couple of more rounds, he would destroyed Israel in that second match up as well.

 

[Pequeño Corey]

Did Alex yell something at the end? Haven't watched the broadcast version yet. Wondering if Alex was just fired up so he yelled at his slumped opponent, as fighters do sometimes.

I think hall is not rigid or 1 dimensional, even though he does favor striking, he has solid grappling.

 

[2004 account]

Love how he like swats a fly above Khalils' head after uppercutting him

No it's not because he entered flow state when he "TKO'ed" Izzy to win the belt off him too
