Altitude Pereira is a great mythical creature

[Ozze]

Maybe I need to rewatch the fight but i thought Alex got controlled and lost, didn’t really see much from him that makes me think he can be a champ at 205

I don't think he lost but didn't think it was some great performance. During the stand up he didn't look fast, wasn't letting his hands go so much and got hit cleanly quite a lot. He barely won the third.

Maybe it was the altitude, adjustment to the new weight class or just fear of being KOed again.

Alex did ok at LHW.

Aside from that odd performance against Glover, name a fighter who has looked good against Jan in recent years? IMO Alex did good, I thought the whole fight would be like first round was.

Exactly !

Doesn't break character....

It answered a lot of questions. He's not a fish out of water on the ground. I'd like to see him being more offensive on the ground. Looking for subs himself. Throwing more shots from bottom
That last 30 seconds he looked like he's good at defending damage but he didn't really throw much. I guess that will come with experience

I really fail to see how 1.300m is altitude enough to influence one’s performance. Lived at a similar altitude all my life and never heard anyone complaining when they come from other places.

Did you talk to them after they went for a run or worked out? Altitude will make you gas easier when doing aerobic activities. That is why Olympians (and the American Olympic center) train in the Rockies.

Fighting gasses you in a whole different way from other sports though. Not sure how many of those who didn't complain where fighters.

I've played a few sports rugby included and i have trained in martial arts. Having someone try to beat you up when you running out of breath is the worst sport feeling ever!!

 

[doggo]

Found myself cheering for him and i like the guy.

Ya'll Izzy haters almost made me dislike him. Shame on you

Yeah, after BJJ or hiking on even higher (1.700m) places we have around. Idk, just doesn’t seem like that much.

I think altitude suited him perfecty. His recovery after round 1 was impressive, especially because you lose more energy when you have to defend.

He conserved his energy well and considering how Jan dominated Adesanya, it was a great performance against the #3 of the division

What also impressed me is how well Jan took a few of those signature left hooks. I have to rewatch the fight, but there's one specifically that could have knocked out some fools

It was a great first fight psychologically for Pereira and i believe this will only solidify his confidence in his quest for the belt.

Who's next for him?
