Is Alex Periera REALLY the Fighter of the Year?

Ilia too small.

Ilia too small.

To fight Poatan sir?...yes, yes he is lol

Alex. Every fight since is Izzy has been gun wrenching and exciting

 

[nostradumbass]

Yeah, probably. Fighter of the year isn't really a major accolade in the grand scheme, since it either gets overshadowed or erased based on the rest of their career, but 3 short notice defenses is better than winning the title and defending once.

Ilia's 2 wins are better wins, but in context both were against guys coming down in weight which rarely goes well, and Alex took his on short notice to save cards.

imagine even trying to compare the best of the best p4p fighters like max and volk

vs 1 dimensional fighters like freakin jiri and hill

Alex would have been had he fought Ankalaev. Until that fight happens Alex is just a ducker and fake champ.

Bad and good trolling in the same thread, impressive.

Topuria is. KO wins over the second and third greatest featherweights of all time, and breaking the GOAT chin in the process. Pereira's wins don't compare at all. Quality over quantity. Pereira has one more win but against much lesser opponents.

Volk already had his brains scrambled by Islam.
Chama

Ilia

Ilia’s wins are way better so I’d probably give it to him. Alex- more than anything saved the company by stepping up on short notice. ilia beat two perennial top ten pound for pound guys by KO. Alex’s wins are good but not elite.
