Media Alex Pereira is spending time in Australia instead of training against ankalaev.

[Versez]

He’s trying to smash a chick in every country I think
It’s a noble goal
Work that cardio

I'm sure he could now...he's pretty well known since his izzy fights.

 

[WildShrimper]

Any good world renowned wrestling gym in australia ? Quite not sure....i really want pereira to win this fight but its hard to see him not taking this very seriously....hell even his coach plinio cruz is there partying with him.

Why is everyone pretending Ankalaev is a wrestler when he's a striker though? I only remember this dude taking down Jan later in the fight.

 

[Sonny Qc]

He have the @Sonny Qc training habits, spending weekend in tetteh bar to get in fight shape all year long.

He might not win, be he will be happy.

 

[nonoob]

He's very insecure about this fight, that's why he rated Ankalaev lower than everyone else in that recent fighter rating video he did. Now he's trying to make it look like he's not training hard so that afterwards he'll have a psychological excuse (a la what early career Jon Jones admitted to). I would love to see him win this fight but I would bet my money on Ank.

I'm old, but the first Pro Boxer I ever saw BITE an opponent in a sanctioned bout is pictured in your Avatar. That was Way Back before Tyson's Ear-Chomp, and Golota wasn't even DQ'D for it.

If interested, would you care to do a 30 day Avatar-change bet on Ank winning over Alex ?

Sure, why not. Unfortunately Alex has no chance of winning (I truly would like to see him pull it off, how can anyone not like Poatan).

MAN fans dont like it when fighters do stuff besides training.

"the fuck he doin over there?? should be training"

"Sir my dolllars, I mean Stream-time viewing isnt spent so you can enjoy ya life. Fuck ya life"

 

[joy2day]

lol this thread.

I've heard Alex was spotted in a local candy store- he's not following a fighter's diet! He's going to lose!

He can autograph boobs all he wants- it doesn't mean he isn't training.

One can train and play with boobs at the same time. I mean, not simultaneously, but during the same general time period.

Cool Deal AG48. Not sure how we do it, pretty sure a Mod will jump in to help with the details.

Chama Sherbro ! ​

Tai, Hunt, Bobby, Kyle Noke, George Sotiropolous, Volk, JDM, Either Tafa, Crute

Ok, but name like 35 more!

Volk
Whittaker
JDM
Hunt
....

25 more from you!

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

He should come to my boxing gym and I'll beat the shit out of him!

(If you're reading this Alex this is a joke and not an invitation)

 

[Motivated BJ Penn]

It seems Poatan has finally accepted his inescapable demise and is just trying to live his life to the fullest drinking and partying all over the world before it all comes crashing down the 8th of march

 

[Bend NvR Break]

How much training do you want the guy to do? He's already super active and has been in the fight game almost 20 years. He knows what he's doing.

 

[SuwoopBangin]

can't wait for him to rek ank in one round and shut these retards up

 

[Domitian]

Alex is constantly moving around and going to different places to train and essentially get a bunch of different perspectives and teachings. I don't even think is an issue either, because he was at the fights with Sean and Adesanya. Maybe he was out fighting Kangaroos too.

 

[CombatSports55]

Training footage was posted pretty recently. That dude always trains. Even when he travels. His coach also opened a new gym

 

[italiamusica]

It's not really an issue unless he's doing it constantly, obviously traveling fucks with you, mentally and physically and recovery. Sonnen put it into a good perspective I feel like: if Alex does the typical two a day training sessions, that if he's gone partying for a week, it's fourteen training sessions he will have missed. As good as anyone is, that's going to add up over time.

 

[Doctor Grudge]

yeah, theres no good mixed martial artist in australia, ignoring just a couple a days ago there was a PPV so many people were in Australia training. guy is obviously eating kangaroo burgers everyday

 

[Preston broadus]

It is like a finger pointing away to the moon. Focus on the finger and lose sight of all that heavenly glory.

Finger=fighting
Moon(glory)= poontang

Alex is getting poontang while some of you are only getting fingered. Five fingers. Your own five fingers.

 

[DalchaLungiambula]

He's been matched up with mostly former champs at LHW...Jan, Hill, Jiri 2x. Rountree and Ank are only non champs lol.

Yeah, and they're all strikers, except for Jan.

Same story at MW, Bruno Silva who is also a striker was the closest thing to a wrestler that he fought.

Ankalaev, he hasn't even fought yet, so he can't be on the list; although he will lose to him, with the main reason being, that he is the strongest wrestler of all his UFC opponents.

 

[piropiro]

1) Given his track record of incredible success and activity, it seems that Alex and his team know what they are doing in terms of training and preparation.

2) Age wise he’s on the tail end of his career and therefore it makes sense to maximize promotional opportunities and business engagements.
