243 lbs ... Chama HW! Best physique for fighting right now imo. And he's sparring and holding his own impressively with 250 lbs wrestlers... His grappling has improved dramatically... Werdum said he thinks he will go for the takedown and sub Ankalaev in the second fight, as he has been training with Pereira too and he said Pereira's grappling is elite as of now...
I think he is the true danger ppl are overlooking.
Doesn't change the fact that he got outstruck by a Dagi.
Silly take. Defensive grappling in MMA often leads to getting outstruck. That's actually the premier strategy to win the striking exchange in MMA.
Ank is not a threat and has zero subs. Your boy folded.
Subs have nothing to do with it. Stick to watching soccer or something, you know shit about martial arts or fighting. Cheers
Stick deez nuts. Angry fangirl.
Huh? Bro Alex is a cool fighter and it's a fighter forum but I could give zero shits if he wins or loses. I care about the people I train with or train and nobody else's results. And I guess my own. And my kids. Cry more about my gamertag on Sherdog, but maybe spend more time on the mats or at least educating yourself on what you're looking at. Blocked FYI, because you write like an immature kid.
He was always kinda manufactured. The few times he’s been on the ground on his back, he looked like he was at the gynecologist. People like gimmicky powerful fighters though, and he was definitely given favorable matchups to build his brand. It’s more people that knew that being able to talk some shit and his superfans not having much to say back.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
Knocking out 4 former champs in like a year, winning two belts and he’s manufactured? You just proved my point.He was always kinda manufactured.

It is what it is. He’s still a badass, but you could see what was going on if you paid attention.
All those former champs were either told not to take him down or just didn’t do it. The guy clearly cannot grapple, but is a fantastic kickboxer. I never said he sucks, but the company was without star power conveniently right when Alex became the man. It’s a business, and I love to be entertained as much as anyone, but yeah… the guy’s ears are untouched… and they’re huge. Clearly not an experienced ground fighter.Knocking out 4 former champs in like a year, winning two belts and he’s manufactured? You just proved my point.
No, he wasn’t given favorable matchups. He beat everybody who was in front of him but then loses once (he wasn’t taken down once btw) and suddenly he sucks. That’s just retarded tbh. What he did is legendary and incredible. Even if he never wins another fight, he is one of the best ever and anyone shitting on him is crazy.
There’s cans like Gane fighting for the belt, Alex would be just fine at HW.He has no wrestling skills and will not do much at LHW and he will get destroyed at heavyweight






That’s a retarded, cope take and you know it. Lol!!! He’s looked fine in every grappling exchange and up until the Ank fight, Alex haters were claiming he’d get wrestlefucked.All those former champs were either told not to take him down or just didn’t do it.
