Media Alex Pereira Fires At Islam/Grappling Critics: "Not My Fault Some Guys Take Longer" - "Gotta Accept I'm DIFFERENT"

[markg171]

Im not sure I believe this but now I terribly want super AI to be able to create this matchup.

I think Potato knocks him cold but it is an interesting style matchup. Hes never fought anyone like Chida and Alex can certainly be hit. Hes 90% offense 10% defense IMO, his power just makes it absurdly unbalanced.

I think Rumble KTFO him too now that I think about it

Shogun "beat" Machida with leg kicks during Machida's reign before KOing him cold in the rematch and you're wondering who wins between Pereira and Machida as champions?

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

Again, i love Alex and he's definitely a HOF'r at this point.
The problem with that statement though is.. Either DC or Jones held the belt for 99% of the last decade.

So yeah he might beat other guys in the top 10, but he'd more than likely never have become champion to be a "once in a lifetime" athlete.
Also a Prime Alexander Gustaffson would've given a hard fight IMO(mixing in takedowns like vs Jones) and Ankalaev right now is by far his hardest matchup.

That's the issue with the entire thread, is that "the greatest of the last decade" are DC and Jones in that division, no one else. It also depends which fighter at which point of their careers (as do all of these fantasy matchups). I think Poatan gets ran through by juiced to the gills bald Jon Jones from 2017, but the 2019 Jones that arguably lost to Reyes and Santos I believe Poatan beats in his current form and 5 years younger, as I think Poatan is a better fighter than Reyes or Santos ever were. I don't think this is a controversial assessment.
I think the DC fight is closer than people expect, as Daniel had a tendency to take a punch throughout his career, 65/35 DC because he's an absolutely suffocating wrestler who's one of the physically strongest LHWs to compete.
Prime Gustafsson, while I'm a fan, was the definition of lightning in a bottle. From April 2012 to March 2014, he was possibly the best LHW fighter on the planet. The Jones loss really busted him up mentally, then the KO loss to Rumble in his hometown really finished off his willpower for the most part. Afterward, his only great win was the KO over Glover and a win over a "green" pre-polish power Jan. While it would be an interesting fight while it lasted, I see it ending with Gustaffson TKO'd 9/10 times through most of his career, but 2013 Gus pre JJ, pre chin checked is like a 60/40 fight Poatan favorite and probably would have been one of the best LHW fights of all time.

Delusional fanboy lol

Alex is less evolved than every LHW champion from the last 18 years

In only 3 months, you've already become heralded as one of the worst posters on this site with amoebic thoughts and a perpetual "little man syndrome" funk oozing off of your posts. You aren't respected, no one except a few other of the worst posters on the site give a shit about your opinion.
Even with that said, to address your point, unfortunately, most evolved isn't always the best. Specialists have been champions throughout the history of the sport, and there always will be specialist champions. I don't really see you hating Khabib for mostly being a blanket and landing about 19 standing strikes throughout his career. He was good at what he did, which was putting a guy horizontal on the ground and keeping him there. Alex does the same thing, he specializes in putting people horizontally on the ground, but in an inert, lifeless state.
"Less evolved than every LHW champion from the last 18 years."
Alright, here's your chance to permanently prove your stupidity. Against every champion of the last 18 years, vs Poatan, who wins? Break down the fights. You can skip over Jones and DC to save time. Please, tell me how you are going to pick Chuck Liddell and Rampage and Lyoto to beat him

 

[PaddyO'malley]

Poatan just got di #ImmigrantMentality ting real look it up we need more Americans like him

 

[AL-Tappo McSnappo]

Has he truly been tested grappling wise? We still don't REALLY know

DC is a shit riend

You're a such a noob it's laughable. Completely clueless and speaking like someone with very little real life experience.

You claim Jan had to lay n pray to win yet dismiss how Alex couldn't do anything to stop it.

The same Jan who was 41 years old and the weakest LHW champion in almost 2 decades. The same Jan who was on the prelims during the Jones - DC- Gus- Rumble era. The same Jan who got destroyed by a fossil of Glover who in THOSE DAYS was much better than he was when he beat Jan and in THOSE DAYS Glover was getting mopped by Gustaffson, Rumble, Corey Anderson and Phil Davis. Guess what? Jan was getting mopped by them too.

You think it's coincidence they became champions by beating eachother in an era when everyone who beat them was no longer around???

I've been watching Alex fight since he was getting mopped by K-1 Max LW Artur Kyshenko and I was there to see it live when he got outclassed by Artem Levin, a MW. Alex wouldnt be in the top 10 in K-1 from 1995 to 2011 and I'm not joking about this.

He's a good kickboxer by today's standards in a very weak era of kickboxing. Back in the days he would have his hands full with guys like Leko, Karaev, Manhoef and Spong. This leaves out the elites who would have destroyed him like Hoost, Aerts, Branco, Hug and the other elites.

Now back to Alex struggling against 41 year old Jan, If this isn't a an indicator that he would struggle against prime Jon, DC, Gus,Rumble , Glover, Machida, Shogun, Rashad then I don't know what would be. Every single one of these guys can take Alex down and hold him down and most of them could knock him out too- minus Randy.

Even guys like Rampage, Hendo, Tito, Arona and young Overeem could at the very least give him serious trouble because all of these guys would out wrestle him easily and guys like Hendo and Rampage could easily knock him out too.

Rampage powerbombed 9x ADCC champion Arona. You think he couldn't put hands on Alex lol? Randy held down prime Tito. You think he couldn't hold down Alex? A guy who got out grappled by Izzy.


I actually like Alex. He's a no nonsense banger who brings the violence. He will fight anyone. I hespect of heem but his fanboys are absolutely out of control. You're one of them acting like the only 2 LHWs who can beat Alex are Jones and DC. Absolutely delusional.


Guys like prime Jones, DC, Gus, Shogun, Machida beat him easily.

Guys like Rashad, Rampage, Randy,Tito, Arona and Bader at their peak would take him down and not let him get up

Guys like Rumble, Machida, Rampage, Wand, Shogun and Liddel would have a good chance of knocking him out too.

If Alex fought the guys I listed above regularly he'd have mixed results and would lose to a lot of those guys. His fans don't want to admit this but he's a beneficiary of the decline in talent at LHW.

Poatan Fanboys must accept this.
.

 

[Ludwig von Mises]

Only in your idiotic daydreams,

Alex completely wrecked Jan, who had to resort to "lay and pray" (please let me win) ... to avoid getting kayoed.

Kill yourself.

Yea 41 year old journey man Jan was able to take Alex's best shots and lay n pray him but peak Gustaffson, peak Machida, peak Shogun, peak Rumble, peak Rashad, peak Hendo and peak Rampage would have nothing for him even though every single one of them were better than 41 year old Jan.

You're a delusional little fanboy.

Alex would lose to most those guys and have his hands full with others from that era who I didn't even list.

Keep smoking that recency bias fanboy hopium pack though bruv

 

[Joinho10]

Insane Pereira circlejerk. That guy is not beating Sadulaev or Tazhudinov with 2 years of experience lol get the fuck outta here.

 

[The Siege]

DC said that with two years of wrestling, Poatan would beat Sadulaev and Snyder. I know DC is just trying to get a soundbite out of Islam, which he was able to do. There are guys who have competed and trained wrestling their whole lives who can't even compete with Sadulaev and Snyder.

Poatan was at the right time and the right place and he made full use of it. If there was no Izzy at MW and no story behind their revialry, he wouldn't be where he is now. This is not to take anything away from his accomplishments, when he got the chance he grabbed it by the neck and took it.

As for wrestling Olympians, forgettaboutit

 

[Fergelmince]

Not quick enough

Ankalaev's ground game's a little suspect

Damn DC looks slim next to the Brazilian coach.

I didn't even claim Jan lay and prayed (he had as many ground strikes as he had ground control minutes btw) but wait, in your schizo world did Jan win that fight? Alex couldn't do anything? He did more damage from the bottom than Jan did from the top. Jan couldn't walk after the fight that he rightfully and clearly lost.
One of the worst wikinoob posts on this sites history. I'll take you off ignore every once in a while to see when you're eventually banned.
"Prime Machida beats him easily"
Mate Machida was an actual middleweight who would have been dwarfed and KO'd by Alex within three rounds. I watched Machida at his best, he lost to Shogun twice who, as one of my favorite fighters ever, is still a significantly worse striker than Alex and much smaller. You are a deluded fool.
"Bader at his peak."
Lmao when was that? When he went to Bellator? Or when he was getting dropped by Tito Ortiz. What in the world do you think happens to Baders head when Alex connects and he would connect with Bader who isn't known as some striking defense wizard. You are as salty a hater as they come claiming BADER of all people would be one of the "LHW greats" to beat Alex lmfao
"Rampage powerbombed Arona so he beats Poatan"
Ahahahaha this is just palpable. You are a very low IQ individual.

"Leko, Karaev, Manhoef and Spong. This leaves out the elites who would have destroyed him like Hoost, Aerts, Branco, Hug and the other elites."

Oh really? The HEAVYWEIGHT kickboxers I bolded would have been a lot for Alex to handle? Yea, no fucking shit, they're heavyweights. Manhoef is the only guy you mentioned that's actually in Poatan's weight class hahahaha.
You know absolute fuck all about the sport, and I will reiterate, you are a terrible wikiposter who posts as some shitass 2024 account as if you have some type of argument from authority within your posts.

To directly address your first sentence, I will tell you as I tell anyone stupid enough to speak about "real life experience" on an anonymous karate forum over the last decade: Put your money where your mouth is. I'm in Las Vegas with access to a number of gyms and will gladly great you to an absolute ass whooping with an included free livestream and PBP thread on Sherdog, we'll fly Maurits out to do commentary. You and a number of other newer posters on this site come into a community that's been around for 20 years and shit it up with your insipid retardation, which is fine and a part of any community on the internet, but when you start questioning the validity of someone else's knowledge or experiences over a difference of opinion by personally attacking them as a literal "who?", this is at least the one place on the internet where it is more than acceptable to organize a fucking fist fight to settle it. I assume you'll be one in a long line that keeps talking shit and never shows up.

As this will be our last interaction, I wish you the worst in your day, week, and endeavors, may you stub your toe every morning over bitter coffee and shitty weather.

Lol Machida wasn't a MW he was a guy who had more fights at LHW than he did at MW and yes when Machida was at his best he was a much better fighter than prime Jan and 41 year old Jan who arguably beat Poatan. Imagine even having to explain this smh. Machida would take Alex down easily and if Alex had nothing for Izzy he'd have nothing for Machida. This isn't rocket science.

Prime Shogun had better striking than 41 year old Jan. Prime Shogun would have done to Alex what he did to Overeem who was a much better grappler than Alex and his striking was very good too. Overeem actually submitted some high level fighters. Alex hasnt.

Guys like Leko, Spong and Manhoef were smaller than Alex, so was Saki. Hoost wasn't bigger than him either and neither were Mirko or Hug. They all had similar frames. Alex wouldnt do well in that era because he lacks the skill, not because he's underhasn't. Even Badr Hari in 2005 was weighing 206lbs and he wasn't elite yet in those days but he would have knocked Poatan into the Aztec Civilization. Poatan wasn't on that level bro.

I was watching Poatan fight live and lose to Artem Levin live in Glory when you didn't even know who Alex was yet and were fanboying other fighters who are probably washed up now so you moved on to fanboying Alex.

Bader is one of the very last guys I listed and yes, at his very best beat Rashad when Rashad was 19-2. He beat Phil Davis twice. He beat Rampage when Rampage just fought for a title eliminator bout against Machida and won. He beat Lil Nog twice. At his very best Bader would take Alex down and not let him up more times than Alex can knock him out.

As far as your friendly challenge I don't have time to come to Nevada to prove my fighting skill to some childish fanboy. I'm in Cali and dont care much for it but if you really want to come here and show a stranger how tough you are we can meet at any boxing gym, at my BJJ academy or we can just meet at the park and run it under any rules you want. Gloves or no gloves. Boxing, Kick boxing or just grappling if you want and we can see what's up.

The line about stubbing my toe was truly sinister. Sending you a big kiss. Take care little buddy.

 

[checktheknuckles]

Islam is 100% ducking. Didn't even dare mention himself to wrestle Poaton.

 

[DapperDave]

I think he's been working on his ground game with Glover for some time, so it may be underrated. ...

This.
An experienced kickboxer comes to UFC and wins the belt. Stays in shape. Trains often. Trains with Texeira.

Likely, Pereira's ground game improved significantly every six months he was in the UFC, and will continue to do so for the next several years.

Las Vegas and Cali are practically neighbors, just saying …

And I agree that Bader, Rashad, and LHW Rumble at are tough matchups for Pereira. And their worst performances apply less to this debate than their best performances. Going off their worsts, is like basing your gameplan on your opponent having an off day.

Jones and DC especially give Pereira problems, whereas Machida and Gus don’t matchup as well, IMO. That’s where I can’t see Pereira lacking the skill to do what Shogun did to Machida & Rumble did to Gus.

 

[DelanoRunnymede]

Alex has had the easiest route to UFC legacy in history....Not one elite grappler

But then again neither did Izzy

Where are the elite grapplers for them to fight? Izzy cleaned the division out. It’s like diminishing Islams achievements because he’s never faced an elite kickboxer with elite takedown defence. You can’t fight someone who doesn’t exist.
