Huh? I don't even use AI for a long while. Even if I did why'd I use it for writing and making prompts for an argument? I mean, you must not be used with texts with more than two paragraphs, but that's because nowadays people can't read past 10 lines.
Well, you're giving me the attention, if you think that's what I'm seeking. Duh. So why don't you shut up and "stop giving me the attention I'm seeking", as per you? Lulz what a dummy.
Lulz idk if you're being sarcastic or not but I wish... I have some fancy glasses with dark lens though that generally hides my eyes like this character from one piece
ppl think I use them to sound "cool" but it's because I'm shy, don't want strong eye contact hehe
As a fighter, as in mma, it's Jon Jones. Honestly I think Alex is a bigger threat than Tom is, I wish JJ faces Tom, as facing someone perceived as a bigger threat (might be but I really think it's not quite) and winning plus retiring would be better. With Alex vs JJ I like Alex Pereira but I've followed JJ for a long time, I just have an unsettling feeling of a final boss from Alex... Like vs Izzy, it's kinda unsettling. I kinda think it'd be cool to see them clashing but I just don't want either of them to lose. But if it's JJ the one to lose, as I think it's kinda a legit 50/50... I just wouldn't like it. I wish him retires fighting Tom, winning (which I think he totally can) and that's it. I don't want him to push more.
I don't think that's really gonna happen. Ankalaev has no intentions of going to HW. If anything, he's speaking about Alex possibly going to HW next, saying "Alex is running". Ank had posted about facing Alex again on Ramadan next year for some reason, and Ali said "Alex going to HW is running away". Alex Pereira has been posting pictures weighing 243 lbs, he has teased a HW move for a long while. Ank has not, he's in LHW. He wants to fight Alex mostly. Other than that, he'd only go to HW if it were to fight Alex in case Alex wins the rematch (which I think is more likely) for a trilogy lol. But Alex is going to HW after the rematch vs Ankalaev anyways.
I think Ankalaev would have a harder time tho because he isn't naturally ~243 lbs like Pereira is... So the size can be a bit too much, but in terms of game management, layers of striking, smart entries both in striking and wrestling, Ankalaev is better than Tom. I think he's a little like JJ, well rounded, gamer, knows how to dominate or win close fights when the opponents are elite, has that grit and toughness, so as an opponent, I favour Ank vs Tom same way I'd for JJ vs Tom, a 3-2 or so... But Ankalaev said he wouldn't try HW. He only said that once when Alex Pereira was teasing a move up before facing him lol
Ankalaev is faster. He has quicker hands than Tom does. Plus, he has a big punching power too. Look at him KO'ing Johnny Walker or Ion Cutelaba or the opponents he KO's. Heavy power shots,especially his left hand. Ankalaev is a very hard power puncher. Like, very hard. As is Khalil Rountree, also a very strong power puncher. The thing is that Alex is very tough and knows how to soften punch's impact better than any fighter maybe, because he's an absolutely elite kickboxer who has fought elite ~240 lbs kickboxers... He knows how to roll with the pinches and has a natural toughness. And his chin becomes better the more he moves up weight classes (for example, was never KO'd at LHW unlike in MW vs Izzy)... Not dehydrating is very big for chin and natural toughness, which Alex already excels on. Even fighting compromised vs Ank, that was the only stance Ankalaev rocked him, outside that the striking was still favourable to Alex overall...
That part vs Sergei was also when Sergei had been wobbled tho. Tom had hit him right below the ear before that, right before Sergei threw his left hook there. Tom was kinda hurt and retreated but Sergei was on shaky legs from the hit right before the TKO. Just looking at Tom hitting him before this frame, the first stance, it's visible Tom is not a striking specialist... He closed his eyes and swung a hard overhand in desperation before eating the softened check hook... Pretty similar to the reactive strike Hill tried to land on Pereira, tho Pereira slipped right through it and connected his left hook fully, which would have KO'd Tom in that stance, for example. That's why Alex can explore this striking deficit Tom has — lot of speed, but not that technical striking, hands movements quick but defensive gaps... Lethal against an elite counter striker like Alex Pereira, exposed to a counter check hook easily...
