Pereira blocking 13/13 takedowns, even getting a takedown of his own but forgetting how to punch is the funniest thing ever

[empsim]

Why ? Pereira was keeping a good distance to avoid being taken down, if he fought in close he would be at a greater risk of being taken down.

His real big mistake was allowing himself to be pressed up against the cage, moving backwards instead of circling away too much.

Because he barely scored anything.

Rogan can go crazy over calf kicks all he wants, the judges usually don't seem to value them that much.

You would probably go on permanent disability if you took one of those, don't be dumb.

Yeah, he needed to take more risks in order to win though. He isn't going to win if he never pulls the trigger. I was surprised he didn't try to punch more. Better to at least go all out at the end of rounds so that he could possibly get a KO and reduce the impact of TDs on the scoring.

I think he was still rocked from round 2 when he got dropped. But idk.

Pereira did not even get dropped.... so stop making excuses. Ankalaev was clearly the better fighter.

amazing how people are dumb enough to not realize defending takedowns constantly makes it harder to strike despite watching this sport for years on end

And we've seen Randleman KO Crocop, Randy outstrike Chuck in the 1st fight, Sonnen drop Anderson, Weidman KO Anderson, Khabib drop Conor, Jake Shields knock the fuck out of Poatan in sparring, and so on and so forth.

Don't believe everything the UFC hype men tell you.

He landed a few good ones in the first round but later on a lot of them were literally just taps and Ankalaev looked like he couldn't care less.

I believe what my eyes tell me, stop being a contrarian moron.

 

[cristoninoMartin]

It's over for Pereira.

 

[Spacebadger]

There wasnt any takedown from Pereira.

At the end of round 4 Pereira made a dick move after the bell out of frustration.

It happened at 04:59 when fighters switch
Off

If someone tried pereira takedown in the street - back to the concrete - they would be in hospital

It looks advanced, but grabbing someone's arm then dropping all your weight onto the ground is a mat move, amateurish

none of this explains how it was a panic TD.
