Alex Pereira's insane physique

[Luffy]

Crazy how he was a fan favorite and everyone was stroking him off and he loses once now he sucks, has no wrestling and is inactive. MMA fans are brutal. This dude went on a legendary run and I can’t wait to see him back in there

Ppl will follow him back... He's a legit monster. He is fresher than many 30 yo fighter. Illia Topuria said himself that when Pereira comes back, ppl will see the beast he is again ...

Even crazier when Tom gets all the hype when he has done 2% of what Alex has done so far in a way weaker in talent HW. Tom has fought twice vs non champions in the same time span Alex has fought Jiri, Hill, Jiri again, Rountree (now a top 3), and Ankalaev while hurt.... Tom fought twice in this same time vs weaker opposition, guys who were older than him and who aren't nearly as talented as the ones Alex faced... All while Alex is 38 and Tom is 32. Ppl assume Tom is that good, and he is, but he's not in a level to match Chama. Big Ank knows it too

He doesn't have the drive anymore. That's why he will move to HW to avoid the weight cut.

You don't even have the drive to not goon for two days while talking about the drive of a Quad Champ.

Positive, he should have lost to Jan at LHW and his other LHW wins are not aging too well.

Tom is probably about to start the run that will shatter most HW records if he gets passed Gane, which he should, brutally.
Alex at HW comes down to physics. While he is a lean 235, a man who could cut to MW fighting a champion who is incapable of getting under his walk around weight is usually a recipe for disaster, especially when that heavier guy is just as fast, hits just as hard even if he isn't as technically sound, and has a much more well rounded game while probably being the physically strongest opponent Alex has ever faced.

I'm someone who was laughed at for saying Poatan was going to dethrone Izzy the moment he was signed to the UFC. I watched him during a good chunk of his KB run, and am a fan of Poatan.
I'm also a fan of the sport. I can see talent where it is, and Tom is one of those special talents, which is why Jones threw away his legacy to duck him. He's the worst possible matchup you could devise for Poatan, especially now that age begins to be a real question in his late 30s.

Fighters who don't fight get the hype. Less fights = less losses. Alex beat 5 world champions thus far. And I predict he will get to 8... Wait and see. He'll be the next goat.

Ppl from the UK I understand, but mma fans in general rooting against him vs Tom or whatever are crazy... The guy fought injured 3 times, saving card after card... I guess Tom is entertaining by fighting once a year ... And not only that, he is better than anyone right now, his biggest challenge is still Ankalaev. It's almost a fight between the two current best, like I've been saying.

 

[Versez]

Great, Thick, muscular physique, i love this kind of physique.

He should have won vs Ankalaev while fighting with Norovirus as that fight could go either way and he'd be a 3x champion by now

Tom was pushing for a rematch hard as if it's not clear yet, he's avoiding Pereira like hell.

I don't want to see him fighting Jones tho. Even tho that's what he wants, it'd suck for me.

 

[93confirmed]

Why is he bulking just to cut soon for the Ank fight at 205? Makes no sense.

 

[Robbocop]

Big fan of Alex Pereira. He should take some fights at heavyweight given he is 6 foot 4 and such an imposing fellow.

 

[Legendary]

Most terrifying fighter... He has been on side missions like this it seems, which it will be shown later... Like I've said, it's not Tom the real danger, Pereira is an assassin...

You'd have to be smoking crack if someone thinks Alex won that fight. While it wasn't a complete bell to bell domination, I had Ank winning with zero controversy.
Alex is just a fan favorite and people hate to see their favorites lose.

I gave it to Ank 3-2, but tons of media scores were for Alex. It was an uneventful fight.

Definitely a lot of people thought it was closer, but im just sharing my personal opinion. I felt like Alex had a hard time getting going and was sort of neutralized. Ank had a good game plan.

Which talent do you see in Tom? Because his striking isn't talented, like omg Topuria!! He rushes with straight punches as if his life depended on getting a kick KO. He has shown 2 submissions which Gane had also shown. Outside of that, he has shown nothing. His defense isn't great when he got tagged more than he tagged Curtis, whose fundamentals were better, but... He hacks his hands in some sort of huge power somehow.

Listen Lufster, if you can't see talent, you just can't see talent. There's no shame in it, some people have an eye for it some don't. Tom has the killer instinct, drive, and fight IQ which can't be taught, it simply is or is not.

You don't see guy going toe to toe on short notice with the scariest KO artist currently like Tom did with Pav (inb4 never good) and blast them silly. You don't see heavyweights bumrushing a TD when they notice their opponent circled too close to the fence and snatching a neck instantly on a guy like Arlovski, who has only been submitted by Josh Barnett, Tom Aspinall, then Rogerio De Lima after Andrei stopped giving a shit.

"He got tagged more than he tagged Curtis."
Yea, that worked out great for Curtis.

His weight decreased too... He'd weigh ~ 255 and now he's weighing ~245 lbs ... That video I posted in which Tom said he was eating half the amount of calories he'd burn / day all while keeping a 255 lbs frame with 60% of that being sheer muscles (no water, blood, only muscles) and 11% body percentage, which he said "I had to do this test... Which shows I was training the wrong way... I was doing things wrong, so yes, I gotta start training the right way"... How would he keep that size while ingesting half k/cal he'd burn per day? Now he suddenly lose close to 10 pounds and looks skinner than before.... A red flag for doing things wrong, likely excessive hormone therapy that allowed him to keep an unnatural body while eating little calories to avoid fat, which screams cheating. That's in his channel, his test, the detail, everything. That may explain why he is projecting a way shorter career now than before, being open about fear of losing in public, while he'd say he'd fight until 38 yo before. Now he says he's closer to the end...

This used to be bannable on the forum, and will probably get you carded again.
There is no evidence of Tom Aspinall cheating. You misinterpreted Aspinall simply stating that he tweaked his regimen to be more efficient.

Pereira never had this issue, his body is naturally a generic freak, already. And his power too. Tom's punches would register 5x below Pereira's in the PI machine when thrown many times, which was another huge red flag as to how he was generating so much power with half jabs and dropping his opponents.

That's why imo he looks way more selective on who he fights now, avoids Pereira, is projecting a hell of a fight bs Gane, while lacking that vibe of "I'll beat Gane and Jones in the same day". Somewhat what Jiri went through. But Jiri's case was different, Tom's was... He had a punching power and a body mass that he shouldn't have scientifically and it is showing now. That's mainly why I say Pereira beats him, that's why he's more hesitant I'd say too... And JJ likely didn't seem worth enough into the fight, I'd guess. In the end, Tom was the one raising a petition to strip JJ when JJ had said the day before him and Tom were aligned. It kinda sucks for Tom, but... He isn't the guy who'll take on the next era, I think Pereira only sees value in HW due to JJ, not Tom, who's easier now. But I wonder, I think team Jones said they'd still fight Pereira , that for Pereira Jones would sacrifice his legacy as he sees worth it.

The rest is your amphetamine headcannon.

No, I don't smoke. And yes, I think it's arguable ... Bring your points round by round for why he couldn't have.

 

[Luffy]

Quite different from his second fight vs Miocic, too.That Ngannou is natural. Vs Miocic 2... That wasn't natural...


Edit : ignore, BS post from me

@WoozyFailGuy

Fair enough, man. It's not wise of me to go into this. It's not my job. I will delete my post. I won't go there. Points taken

 

[Poatan Power]

He has no wrestling skills and will not do much at LHW and he will get destroyed at heavyweight

"Has no wrestling"

There's offensive and defensive wrestling skills. He was never an offensive wrestler. His defense is fantastic. Grappling defense in general has always been phenomenal.

Ignore this as well. BS posting from me.

 

[MigitAs]

The problem is he’s basically 40, and older than that even in fight years.

 

[KeepingItReal]

Tidwell up in this hoe, what they know about that.
