Artem Vahtiko thinks Pereira isn’t that good of a striker

Talking all this shit before he's even in the UFC lol, would be funny as hell if he loses on Contender Series tomorrow.

"Just one good punch" is a crazy thing to say about a human wrecking machine like Pereira.

It's hard to believe that Arty Noname has watched one of Alex's fights from start to glorious finish.

 

[Dorkman]

I mean guy is entitled to his opinion. But it's clear guys like Alex and Israel at their best are really in a class of their own for mma striking.

 

[Question]

Yet he went the distance with him in two very close fights, one of which is a loss on his record....
Why would you shit on one the better wins on resume? Just makes you look bad lol

 

[PaddyO'malley]

That's cool but I bet bro stop squawkin' when D1 Poatan hits dat blast double

“I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times”

 

[A Very Serious Cat]

What a dumb take, it's not like he's used calf kicks to hurt numerous fighters or anything to name another good strike he has

 

[ThaiSexPills]

Sure he does, he’s just trying to keep his name in the headlines and set himself up for a fight he doesn’t deserve and hasn’t earned.

Incredible pressure to put on yourself for sure.

 

[Xoleth]

The guy is just trying to make himself known, also based on the fact that he fought Pereira twice.

Pereira has timing, has a sharp jab, has good kicks.
His defense isn't very good, true.
But he is not Ngannou.
Pereira is a good technical fighter.

Also, Vahkitov is a good technical striker.

“I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times”

I always hated this quote. There aren't 10,000 different kicks to practice.

And even if there were, who the hell practices a move ONCE and never again? And then does that 9,999 more times?

 

[VinceArch]

Oh look, Artem is trying to angle a fight against Pereira and he's doing it with the subtlety of a screeching chimp.

Considering that Artem was tuning Pereira up despite being significantly smaller, i think he's entitled to talk shit tbh. Dude was catching Poatan clean while putting pressure on him, he's an excellent striker.

 

[PrideNverDies]

Who's Vakhito? Never heard of him. Learn to spell

 

[Frode Falch]

Alex Pereira have many KOs from left hooks, right hands, flurries of strikers, jumping switch knees, left high kicks, right high kicks... Ect

So yeah.

 

[AmonTobin]

Periera’s scare factor just keeps going up. Anybody who talks like he’s easy money is blowing smoke up their own ass.

 

[TheMadHatter]

I would watch them rematch in mma. Artem has some work to do before this fight happens though.

You're missing the point.

Ronda's armbar is one of the most lethal moves in the sport. Because she drilled it over and over and over since childhood.

There aren't literally 10,000 submission types, but had she varied her training she wouldn't be nearly as good at the armbar.
