Fighters admitting they are injured after the fact is an excuse to discredit close fights and to rally support from casual fans.

[Legendary]

Alex Pereira just "admitted" that he had a knee injury leading up to his fight with Jan OVER a year ago.

Honestly this is a bullshit and clearly dishonest take by Alex. He only came out and said this once the rhetoric that Jan might have beat him surfaced. He is just trying to discredit Jan because it was his closest fight and is even making excuses to why it happened. Lots of fighters come into fights injured, but they always will talk themselves up if they win, but they will never admit that the fight was close and they could have easily lost a decision. Fighters will blame a loss on an injury before admitting they got bested most of the time.

If Alex would have lost, I guarantee right after the fight he would have came out and said that he had a knee injury.

The only logical conclusion to why he would come out and say this now, and anyone saying otherwise is just riding the Poatan bandwagon.

This points to his confidence being compromised if he has to either make shit up, or he is going out of his way to say things that his CHAMA dickriders will back him up on regardless if its true or not.

Its like if you were only 85% confident about something, so you say something to get your sycophants excited about so that it creates this environment where he is surrounded by yes men.

Rountree by KO

Lots of fighters do this, and its just a mental trick that sometimes works, but they are ultimately not being real with themselves.

There are literally books written about this

Fans really cant cope with truth if they dont like it

 

[CasualBot]

The cope of this thread is surreal.


So fighters don't get injuries

Or

They should disclose prior
and not get approved to fight (make a paycheck)

Or

Risk being targeted at the weak point



The sheer lack of common sense, experience and critical thinking here is gold.

How do you explain when all these fighters have (documented) surgeries after?

Black magic? Jesus?
Tooth fairy telling you what to think?
Toot your trumpet, but Alex ain't Jamie Varner.

 

[orca]

correct me if im wrong
i have never heard jones saying he was injured before the fight

well ive seen him get his toes snapped but didnt matter

all fighters basicaly has injuries and is not 100 percent

You right now

They are lying about to the degree in which it effects them if they are still winning title fights and the fact he was able to put it off for so long also points to it not being a serious injury. Casual fans will hear this story and now it paints a picture that Alex was on crutches during his camp.

Alex is a human just like everyone else. Its like when Rogan claims Yoel Romero is some superhuman experiment. No one is winning UFC title fights on one leg. He probably had a low grade tear, but it just happens to be during his most close fight? Seems like he and his fans are the ones who are coping.

[Spam On Rye]

Cope and seethe.

 

[Mike]

Yeah shit like this is way whinier than what you're complaining about. Sound like a fucking Karen

 

[CasualBot]

He choked out Conor before Khabib.

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

Ya I can’t stand when folks make excuses for winning

Now you're babbling about rogan and crutches.

 

[g*r*b]

I'll admit the time gap between fight and admission of injury is...curious. But maybe it seemed to him needless to mention it at the time. Chiming in "yeah, and I did that injured too!" after a win also seems a bit weird and (forgive me for what I am about to say) cringe. Usman couldn't live down his "I fought at 30%" post-fight interview for YEARS.

 

[SuspectChin]

They should be commended. It takes a true fighter to take a fight with a cracked skull and bulging discs.

Don’t forget broken neck

So to recap:
Guy discloses some old injury in a fight he won anyway. It is suspicious because it was a long time ago. Does this because of filthy casuals. Therefore, Rountree by ko.

Seems logical.

Lol
In your sherbro opinion is there ever a time when fighters are allowed to talk about injuries they’ve sustained? Or should they just shut the fuck up and bleed for your amusement?
Lose a fight with an injury?
Can’t talk about the injury because it’s an excuse.
Win a fight with an injury?
Can’t talk about the injury because that devalues your opponent.
So when IS it ok for a fighter to talk about injuries they’ve had? Because if a guy can’t talk about an injury he had prior to a fight a year earlier which he won then it seems like the answer is never.

On top of all that as far as I can tell reading the interview Alex brings it up in reference to why he’s ok doing so many fights. But no, you’re right, he’s lying and it’s because someone on the internet thinks he lost to Jan.

Everybody goes to fight night injured.
Some more some less.
