The UFC is a pyramid scheme making all their fighters run a YouTube channel so they can use clicks to determine salaries

Absolutely 12k/12k mania. This is with the godfather of MMA Dana running it. When he leaves it to Hunter it'll be even worse

Pereira should have just taken Tai down and submit him. Or just throw a hamburger on the floor.

Alex first three division champion.

He's one of the only realistic potential 3 division champs in UFC history IMO.

I thought Aldo could have been at one point

Pereira is so accurate and fluid, honestly think he'd lay Tuivasa out cold if they fought at HW. Tuivasa is sloppy and not much skill. Fun fighter and brings it, but he is way too sloppy.

There has never been a 3 division champ in UFC but Pereira is the most likely if there ever is one, he has the frame for it and more importantly the skills. He has big power like the HWs but he is just much more accurate with so much experience. Guys like Tom and Gane and Pavlovich just don't have a lot of experience compared, Pereira been striking for such a long time at a high level. I honestly would not be surprised if he is the first 3 division champion in UFC.

I get why most fighters don't post much sparring footage or even training footage but I fookin love that Alex does because it's so fascinating and fun to watch.

 

[Simple Southerner]

Definitely could have used a better hw to spar with

Does he have the chin though? Pereira gets tagged quite often and versus a HW it's quite a gamble.

His chin has been better at LHW tbf sir.

 

[Ozze]

His chin has been better st LHW tbf sir.

Yeah, you're right.

Still I get nervous as fuck when he fights, lol. I always feel like he's about to get KOed.

Specially some crazy ass fighter like Jiri.

I can see that sir, but Jiri is capable of knocking anyone out with some wild shit lol.
Poatan does get hit but I think he rolls with them better than people give him credit for.
Its like Max, he gets hit but he does a good job at making them not so flush.

I mean they're both no Pernell Whitaker with the head movement but I think they do just enough to take a little off.

I definitely see your point though about being nervous lol.

Robert was right
