Because I bet on him to get the finish in all my bets and it cost me 1500
I don't understand why people are disappointed with Pereira's performance

Difference is that Jan was landing clean shots in the first 2 mins, then got a TD and top control for 2 mins and although the last flurry was some very good offense from Perreira, I don't know if it was enough to swing the round for him. I mean Jan was winning majority of the round.
Jan was landing some very clean shots to the head in round 3. And yes, Alex was landing some very good kicks, jabs and body shots. I feel it was pretty even in the stand up. Alex landed his mix of strikes while Jan worked his boxing. Even stand up IMO, the last TD should have sealed it for him.

I thought he looked much slower than his last few fights

Octagon control is not what determines fights. Jan had "nearly 2 minutes of control" on the ground... and he landed 2 strikes to Alex's 1 on the ground. He did exactly 0 damage, which is why he lost that round.
Alex landed more accurately, more damaging shots, and from all distances while Jan did 0 damage on the ground and got outstruck doing almost no damage on the feet. For fuck's sake, in the last minute of the fight Alex had Jan against the cage covered up and was landing shots all around his guard and Alex was gasping for air trying not to get knocked down. Obviously Alex won that round convincingly.
It just sounds like you wanted Jan to win and are scoring fights based on your own ruleset. Getting out damaged on your feet significantly and doing 0 damage on the ground with 1:57 of control time isn't winning the round, man. Laying on people doesn't win fights unless that's ALL that happened in the fight.
Alex also caused a huge welt on Jan's leg and bloodied him. Damage. DAMAGE!!!

Head strikes aren't the only things that matter, idiot.
And if one fighter lands 20 head strikes (that don't do shit), and the other lands 12 head strikes (that wobble his opponent), who do you think was more effective?
You're literally too stupid to debate with.
Alex won, Jan lost.
Alex had Jan ready to go ... in the second ... and in the third ... while Jan only had a good first round.

You are the one who said to use the stats not me. Then when it backfired you resort to "the stats don't matter." You can not have it both ways. Jan was not ready to go in the 3rd round. Alex was stuck in mud the 3rd round. The 3rd round was pretty even at worst for Jan on the feet and the take down should have secured the win. I like Jan and wanted him to win, but I did pick Alex in my fanduel lineup which ended up tying me for 2nd place out of over 7k people. I am not mad alex won, but Jan deserved it

Nothing backfired, you ignorant simpleton fuck.
Alex won, Jan lost, and the punch stats support this.
If you "only" want to look at "head shots," rather than the full picture, momentum, and ALL shots, therein lies your myopia.

He nullified a ln’p strategy against a former champ in his first foray at LHW. He almost had Jan out of there at the end of rnd 1, too. Great performance. Alex is improving before our eyes. Truly a special combat athlete.

You need to go watch the fight.
Jan landed 2-3 flush heads trikes the entire round. All of them arm only strikes because he had no cardio. One combo of 4 alternating hooks only 1-2 of them actually landed flush and had a little impact (this was about the 3:40 mark), but Alex stepped away unphased and raised his arms at him. By 3:30, Jan had landed everything he had and he didn't land anything else of significance the rest of the round. Alex landed multiple stiff jabs, stunned Jan and landed multiple crisp counter left hooks while slipping Jan's headshots that counted as "significant strikes" in the fight metric. If you actually bothered watching the fight instead of relying on Wikipedia and fightmetric, or actually knew what you were watching to begin with, you'd see than Jan clearly got out kickboxed. An amateur competitor would feel like they got their ass kicked if that's how round 2 and 3 went for them in a kickboxing match. It was very evident who did the most damage, was most accurate, who attacked better, and who had any power on their shots. Jan had no cardio, no strength, and was winging flyweight level power hits at Alex.
yeah, no idea what you were watching. Just rewatched round 3 today and the striking difference is pretty stark. Jan literally may have landed a total of 3 strikes with any consequence to them, while Alex landed at least that many to the body, leg and head separately. And all actually causing damage and had power on them, Jan's didn't.
Jan also was the only one with any visible damage, which is what the scoring criteria uses. Not takedowns into guard where you land 2 strike in 45 seconds.

Alex beat Izzy multiple times. There’s no reason to think he wouldn’t again

izzy cracked that code, and Izzy is younger.
It's 50/50 to me, but Izzy has the mental momentum and overcame a lot of adversity winning that fight.

Becasue mma fans are fickle P(s)OS - he did good, did the most damage, survived against a far superior grappler, pushed forward the whole fight, negated jan's so-called great leg kicks while landing the majority of his. He is winning and thriving despite obvious deficiencies in his overall all mma skill set. He willing to learn and is humble.
Maybe if threw around racial slurs, committed crimes while under the influence, mocked women and children he'd get a pass.

1:43: Alex hits Jan with a counter left hook that stings. Jan
1:38: Jan hits a glancing leg kick, checked by Alex, Alex puts his hands down at his side.
1:34: Alex hits a stiff jab that Jan didn't see coming
1:32: Alex doubles it up and stuns Jan, who nods and seems to accept that he got nailed.
1:23: Jan throws a leading left hook that is partially blocked by the high guard of Alex. Arm punch, minimal hip turn
1:15: Alex throws a leg kick to the nasty ass welt that he has left on the calf of Jan.
1:13: Alex hits a check left hook that Jan never saw coming, Jan swings and misses
1:11: Alex hits a stiff body jab. Jan bends with the impact.
1:05: Jan misses all 3 punches of a 3 punch combination as Alex counters with a check left hook that lands flush, again.
1:01: Jan shoots a sloppy takedown. Alex catches him in double unders, knees him to the body and then checks a left hook from Jan that hits nothing but forearm.
0:55: Alex throws two jabs, both barely touch Jan.
0:46: Jan hits an inside calf kick and shoots a single under Alex's jab, where he lays on Alex fighting for oxygen for the rest of the round. He lands 2 strikes from guard to Alex's 1.
^^^ This is where the fight was won. It was fairly even up until this point, with Alex slightly ahead, controlling the pacing, distance and hitting more accurately than Jan but Jan had a couple of combos that without any poweron them that got the crowd riled up 3-4 minutes ago. Once the 2:00 point hit, it was all Alex scoring again, again, and again.
I don't even get what some of you dorks are trying to argue about head shots vs body/leg shots. Alex tore up Jan's leg and body and look at Jan. He couldn't breathe or move in and out. Cause and effect. Obviously Alex damaged him more if you couldn't tell by the facial damage, damage to the leg and reddened body, additionally.
Only on Sherdog will people say arm only punches to the head mean more than the fewer punches to the head that had Jan on queer street against the cage in round 2 and had him bloodied. Only on Sherdog will people argue that the guy limping around the cage incapable of breathing after getting his leg and body tuned up did more damage by pitter pattering his opponents head through his guard and almost never landing flush and causing 0 damage "won."

I just think he had gas left in the tank and I would have been brilliant if he had used it and wrecked Jan.
But he’s a Champion and I’m a scrub…. So I don’t hold it against him… He won

It's 2023 and people still talk like a late takedown with zero follow up should steal a round.
