How would you rate Alex' (potential) opponents?

[Iroh]

I'm sure most have seen the clip of Alex rating his (potential) opponents, so I wondered what the Sherbros would rate it with regards to the difficulty they would pose to Alex in a fight.

Alex' own rating. Stole this from the other thread,

10 being the highest difficulty, 1 being the lowest difficulty.

Ank and Rountree should switch numbers in that picture and it's all good.

You think DDP is the easiest match up out of them all?

You think DDP is the easiest match up out of them all?

Depends on the weight class. If Alex forced himself to cut down to 185 again to fight DDP, I don't think that would be easy at all. I'd still pick Alex but it would be close to 50/50. If DDP moves up to 205, Alex smokes him imo.

Stylistically Alex seems to be the worst matchup for DDP.

It's only a matter of time before one these guys beats him. Ankalaev is probably his biggest problem at LHW right now, I'd rate him 8/10. I don't think Khalil beats him, 4/10 maybe. If he went up to HW and fought someone like Blaydes or Spivac he'd get his salad tossed, so no point talking about Jon or Aspinall. Would be pretty funny if Rakic beat Ankalaev then took the belt from Alex though.

Dricus should be a bigger challenge than Rob.
Ankalaev is way too low, he would wrestle Alex easily.

Jan wrestled Alex
Ank wrestled Jan
And should wrestle Alex
It's basic MMA math that 93.75% of sherdoggers do not understand.

 

[Unheralded Truth]

I understand why he doesn't want to give anyone a 10, so I agree with Aspinall and Jones. Then it's just pettiness and a duck attempt giving Ank a fucking 5.
Ank is a really tricky opponent for his style, should score an 8.

Chimaev a bit underrated, should be an 8. I think he's sort of correct about DDP, can't see Alex losing to him tbh.

The rest make sense although I feel like he's trying to up Rountree, personally I would rate him around the same place as DDP.

 

[muaythaibeast]

Dricus much harder than he's given credit for, Whittaker much easier. Hard to see any way Whittaker beats Pereira.
Dricus would be a 50/50 fight.
Think the only fights he would be a serious underdog would be Aspinall and Jones.

 

[don't ask]

There's no reason to fight half these guys. If these are his potential opponents...

 

[cshireman4]

If Khamzat's a 7, Ank has to be about a 7 as well. Switch Rob and DDP. I've never been more sure of anything in my life than Alex sending Rakic to the shadow realm. Put him at a 4 with Rob.

Stylistically Alex seems to be the worst matchup for DDP.

I feel like I've heard this before......

Dricus averages 3 times more takedowns per fight than anyone Alex has ever faced. He also has more submissions than anyone alex has ever fought. He's also entering his prime while alex is due to leave his any day now. I'm not sure if Alex is Dricus' worst match up or if Dricus is alex's worst match up.

10 being the highest difficulty, 1 being the lowest difficulty.

jones or aspinall - 9
ank, ddp - 7
rakic, whittaker, khalil - 6
khamzat - 4

this is giving due to weight to the fact that all of these guys are dangerous. nobody is gonna be ranked 1.

 

[The Siege]

Jones - 9

Aspinall - 9

Ank - 7~8

Rakic - ~5.5~6

Khamzat:

• LHW- 4:
  • Size and power difference and wrestling/grappling is hard at higher weights
• MW- ~7.5:
  • Can he get Alex out early with a SUB?

DDP:

• LHW- 4~5:
  • Size and power difference might be too large to overcome, and grappling/wrestling is hard at higher weights
• MW- ~8~8.5:
  • I think he wrestles Alex all night and wins a UD or by SUB

Rob:

• LHW- ~3.5:
  • Power and size difference would be too massive to overcome, and he will eventually be caught by Alex
• MW - ~6~7:
  • Can Rob make it 5 rounds point fighting and avoiding the gadoosh?

Khalil - 4
