Alex Pereira will be fighting for the fifth time starting on November 11, 2023

[Dark Lord]

Which made him the most active champion during this period.

 

[The Big Babou]

...ever?

 

[Versez]

Him and Dricus are total units, good coporate employees to the UFC.

 

[Sean Chowdhury]

5 fights in 16 months, people were hyping up kevin holland for doing 5 fights in 12 months but this guy is doing nearly the same thing as a champion. Only other champions that were similarly active were Usman and Volk

 

[MrBlackheart]

He’s is a very active champion but don’t use this as a preemptive excuse if he loses Saturday night.

 

[Fedorgasm]

Which made him the most active champion during this period.

Jones should honestly be at zero.

I mean if everyone was able to dodge legit contenders in lieu of over-the-hill fighters that were brutally knocked into retirement years ago, then everyone on this list would have a dozen title defenses.

I’ll be a fan of anyone who is active . It’s so fun to have momentum and storylines with the titles. Anyone who is active and gets on cards I support

 

[Luthien]

We will miss this man once he is gone The Poatan era has been amazing

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Yet people who are probably better off watching ADCC want Alex gone because kickboxing hurts their feelings. SAD

 

[ComeChooDaddy]

Fought at 291, 295, 300, 303, 307 and now 313. Champions need to fight 3 times a year. Enough of this 1 time per year shit.

And they are exciting fighters for the fans to watch. those 2 and illa are my favourite champs right now

Honestly, Alex fuckin hard carried the UFC during this period if he wants the jones fight to retire of off after this fight he would be given just that opportunity if the universe was a fair and dignified place (it isn't)

The inactivity of champions is what makes me miss the tournaments style of the original UFC or tournament seasons Pride would do.

UFC should be like other sports. Who was the champ this year or this season.

If the champ doesn’t wanna fight, a new champ will be crowned each season either way. The show goes on.

 

[Dorkman]

He's not young. Striking while the iron is hot. This is the most he's ever been paid in his long career. And it's clear he's trying to maximize it

the other side of it, the smart side of it.....

If you take a snapshot of the division you're championing at the time you win the belt as champion and you see a lot of names you think are easy for you to beat, It's a very very wise move to just be as active as you can while you are at your best before you age out, before you break down. Merab is going to do this too because he knows, bank on it. I expect him to fight atleast 2 more times this year.

apply this logic to Timmy Aspinall

 

[BowserJr]

This is more impressive than anything Jones has done

that's called PFL

That was what I was thinking also, he's already 37 and has a 33-7 kickboxing record before coming to MMA. I don't think he's going to keep fighting in his 40s like Randy Couture.

Superior system. UFC just has the better fighters unfortunately

What difference does their fighters make? They could switch rosters and the result would be the same.
