Alex Pereira and Jiri Prochazka are top 3 scariest guys in UFC

[Spacebadger]

Poatan scary? Lol, he got bullied and pushed to the fence by owlface, wouldn't stop whining about it and wanted change of rules.

Yes, and his comeback will be shocking... I'm someone who sees things you don't through inferences and pattern study. I study the promotion, the fighting itself. He'll be back and you all will realize...

Yet Ank, who's a "jack of all trades but master of none" well-rounded fighter found a way to beat him. And Poatan wouldn't be Top 3 when Jones, Cormier, Rumble, Davis, etc. were in their primes in the UFC.

He is a very good fighter, but I don't see him beating Aspinall or cleaning out the HW division at his age and with no size advantage against 250-pound guys.

No one thinks he is going to clear out the HW division.

The question is can he move up and get a belt?

nt
try to sleep after looking at this:

Looks like he grabs children in the forest

He'd clean out the HW division likely lol. I think he's good enough to TKO Tom, and the pace HW fights, I think he can defend his belt many times there

wtf haha.

 

[Luffy]

wtf haha.

Lol it's kinda crazy yeah. But the UFC is a promotion, a business. And if someone sees fighting patterns, probabilities, analysis, fighters' behaviours, co-promotion when those fighters go into those trips, the dissection they do of "smaller fights" like Juliana Pena vs Kayla Harrison... It's a pattern that if someone follows everything, they can get...

Alex also said : "Ankalaev won, respect to him. But when people ask me, I don't think he's better than other guys I've fought like Adesanya, Khalil, Jiri. I've felt his power in the first match and have rewatched the fight. In the rematch, I will have some weeks to rest, get my body refreshed, and then I feel I can do whatever I want to him"

you believe that crap?

lmfao this new avatar has you in a whole new mode

 

[Luffy]

Nah, I think Ankalaev is among the best. It's the best fighter right now besides Alex Pereira imo... And maybe DDP, idk. I think Ankalaev is JJ's level when in LHW. I think Alex is slightly better than Big Ank tho

 

[Luffy]

Yeah, those mingo's glasses can see through everything

Btw gotta add that's my opinion ofc ppl will believe what they think makes more sense. I'm not saying I'm speaking facts, treat me like the right way when I speak like that, just someone crazy lol it's for the best

 

[kuroro]

I think Alex is slightly better than Big Ank tho

losing to people is a really smart way to prove that you're better

 

[Luffy]

Ok I'm not gonna repeat what I've said 1000x it doesn't go anywhere

 

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

Alex maybe, Jiri? no way.

 

[markys00]

Yea, no. Ain't no manlet with one eye scaring anyone

 

[Tokoloko]

Yeah. He's definitely top 5 in the can beat anyone list. But Alex Pereira... Firstly it's unlikely there'd be a trilogy but if there was, that's someone that is beyond Jiri's reach. Like, he can defeat almost anyone, but Alex Pereira is one of those who we have seen them fight twice and it may be more competitive but Alex is better overall.

I think Jiri can beat Ankalaev though, but he'd need to put out the best performance, like, he'd need to be better than he was vs Hill. I think Alex is slightly above Ankalaev, but still a noticeable edge IMO. And I think Jiri can beat Ankalaev in a very hard fought decision, but against a fresh Poatan, I think it'd be still too much.

Ill bet big on Jiri if there is 3rd fight between him and Pereira. Like Pereira can knock him out...but Jiri can beat absolutely anyone, the problem with Poatan was Jiri's confidence...in first fight Jiri had Poatan on shovel, if he listened to coach, he was going to finish Poatan in my opinion...but Jiri refused to go for free TD. He simply wanted to beat Alex in his own game, refused to go for td when Poatan caught and was backing to cage, in next sequence Poatan landed left hook.. Second fight was pure Poatan domination, literally worst performance by Jiri ever...by far.

So Majority will call this stupidity, but i believe that Jiri will get him 3rd time...Poatan is getting older, Jiri is getting better and smarter...

BTW remember that Jiri's health was compromised in both fights vs Poatan and in second one it was also one week short notice. + Jiri was literally in dark room fasting right before he accepted fight...

Nah, I heavily disagree. In the first fight, Jiri went for the takedown which he rarely does and he got Pereira down and landed two hard elbows. But he couldn't keep Pereira down. In the second round, he clinched a few times, specially when Poatan landed a partially blocked left hook and tried to work on takedowns again but Pereira avoided from letting Jiri get to his legs. The right + left hook combo was perfectly calculated by Pereira. He said he timed right when Jiri would go for for the one two, so Pereira said he backed out on purpose to draw that movement and get him with the right left cross combo.

In the second fight, it wasn't Jiri's worst performance. He simply met what Pereira is when Pereira is 100% (no injury, fresh, etc)... Not to mention an imported version of Pereira who had trained wrestling way more so since he had already tested Jiri's wrestling abilities and gotten better in grappling, he was way less reactive to the threat of the takedown. So much so Jiri tried many feints that Poatan didn't bite because he didn't fear being taken down by Jiri. In fact, when Jiri tried the takedown, Pereira defended effortless with Jiri clinching for about a minute , trying to get to Pereira's legs... And then Pereira just shove him off. And that Jiri said before the fight he was in his best shape and surprised that Pereira accepted the fight on short notice. Jiri was called a week earlier, and he said yes. Then Pereira said yes a week later. Jiri said he was surprised since "Pereira has everything to lose and that he was feeling very good physically"... Both were called on short notice, and that was right after their 300 performance (2 months and a half later... Pereira had defeated Hill with that badass left hook, and Jiri had beaten Rakić in one of his best performances... He even said he was ready to lose one leg if that meant defeating Alex Pereira, he was as serious as he was vs Rakić)

Jiri is younger on paper. In terms of overall career, Pereira may be younger. Jiri has had 38 MMA fights, that weigh A LOT... Alex Pereira has had 15 mma fights so far. Granted he had a kickboxing long career, but starting MMA later means way more longevity than someone like Jiri who has been doing MMA for very, very long. It also means more improvement into later years. Pereira is a rare exception of someone who got into MMA at 35 years old and at 37 improved considerably, like, a lot... In kickboxing he was seen as someone rare to Glory because it'd be like each fight he'd get progressively better. His worst losing streak there was losing 2 on a row, but his losses were earlier in his career, and even when mid career or so, he was one of the rare kickboxers who wouldn't show loss of motivation from losses, rather, that would refresh his motivation and his mentality. He's a competitor and as some coaches from the USA who trains him, "a combat genius who may have one of the best IQs and battle physique of all time", emphasizing his body is different...) ... As a matter of fact, Glover was competitive and was showing to be improving at 40 yo... And he said he has been with Alex for a long time and sees Alex as an enhanced version of himself, saying Alex can fight in UFC at peak level for 5+ years easily. In fact, even Dana said that "if we let Alex Pereira fight the way he wants, he'd fight every month, I've never seen someone like that. I don't think he should fight that much but he never complains and only shows improvements, so what can I do, he's just... He's something I've never seen before" ...

Alex Pereira himself said he plans to have many and many more fights, suggesting "it's still just the beginning"... While younger athletes like Tom for instance, are saying "my career is definitely closer to an ending". Some people are different. And if someone is improving more, Alex is more likely to be than Jiri. You see training footages and Pereira is drilling and grappling with HW 255 lbs wrestlers while showing a huge improvement... Even Glover said he can't be the grappling partner anymore as he can't keep with Alex in grappling anymore in the least, they need to actively call for elite grapplers, and that Alex is wrestling for hours against wrestlers. One thing Glover said is that Alex enjoys the torture of training, of feeling tired... That the process of working hard and falling of tiredness is something that excites him...

He's not a manlet. He is listed at 6'2'' and probably fights at over 200 pounds. And he has a chin to go with it.
