Alex Pereira's Leg Kicks is his Weakness

[ff]

So one of the biggest weapon in Alex Pereira's arsenal is his leg kicks but I keep wondering is it a wise decision to use it in this fight?
His leg kicks is so devastating that would turn a boxer into a wrestler..
I really think it would be stupid call to do so why force your opponent to a lay and pray as he did against Błachowicz he took last 3 rounds just by a survival takedowns that he didn't do anything with...

EDIT****

Some replays seems confused about what I said, I'm not talking about getting taken down by ankliev catching his leg I'm talking about ankliev's leg getting destroyed that his only option is taking him down so you lose the (Ankliev who think he could beat him in striking and getting caught)

Nice try Ank Please don't kick me - Mr Kickboxer

It's like saying he shouldnt punch his opponent either, it might make him mad.

Ankliev believes in his striking game and we saw that over anve again so not getting his movement Vulnerable would keep his faith in his stand up alive it' the old war technique don't corner him into a must wrestling situation، I might be wrong though..

what a dumb thread...

 

[BluntForceTrama]

It’s a dumb fight too

Thankfully Chama fights 10 times a year so it doesn’t matter much

 

[TempleoftheDog]

Horrible thread..

Don’t use a big weapon in your arsenal because, some random dude on a karate forum thinks it’s a bad idea?

 

[Westbrick]

Anka will wrestle anyway, it will be harder if he's crippled.

wtf

 

[Rio Ferdinand]

Alot of people on here didn't watch the Jan vs Ank fight I suppose.

Ank got leg kicked into oblivion the first two rounds then decided to switch to wrestling which won him the last two rounds.

Will be interesting to see if it plays out the same against Alex. Or if he smartens up and just shoots from the bell khabib style.

I imagine he shoots pretty early, or at the very least initiates clinch work.

Pereira will need to use those leg kicks to slow him down and take his base away. The good thing about Alex's calf kicks is they are very fast and far less predictable because he doesn't telegraph.

Came to say this. You dont see his kicks coming like you do most people's.

 

[marvinparsons]

I think his leg kicks are usually fast enough to avoid being easily taken down right after. But he may use them less frequently to be safe.

I'm more curious about how long Ank is willing to even spend on the feet in the first place. If he spams TDs from the get go leg kicks might be a moot point, especially if he gets Alex to the mat.

 

[The Bloody Nine]

This is so stupid it's kind of beautiful.

 

[Ozze]

It makes sense but it doesn't make sense.

What if by round 3 Ank is losing. Won't he try to wrestle anyways? Better have him on fucked up legs.

 

[Nathan LaMontagne]

Leg kicks are the reason I'm picking Alex Specifically

Look how fucked up and was after only a round against Jan.

 

[GluttonforPunishment]

Goddamn. I may be a masochist by coming here and seeing dumb fucking shit like this daily. Laughing stock doesn't describe it.

Yeah but then he took Jan down and held him down w EASE for the rest of the fight.

Not because of the leg kicks though.
The OP is basically saying not to leg kick.


I don't think Ank will survive 3 rounds after Alex's leg kicks and offense.

Ank needs to get fight down in the first IMO
Or hope for a power shot get through.

Calf kicks aren't particularly susceptible to getting taken down.

 

[Chagaev]

Yeah, if Ank doesn't shoot from the start it makes sense to give him a false sense of security on the feet and bait him into a KO shot.

Same. He has shown a susceptibility to leg kicks. Alex is surgical with his calf destroying.

I think the kicks set up the chin getting demolished later on in this fight.
