Pereira could become a 3 weight champion. Jiri and Nganou are both strikers.

[Fedor5723]

Francis was able to KO (lucky is debatable) Jair Rozenstruick who is 85-8 in kickboxing in a heavier weight class.Francis also has shown more groundwork and GnP than Izzy and probably can and will take down Alex if needed

Alex would beat Rozenstruick quite easily to be honest imho.

 

[CashMoney1991]

Francis would eat Alex alive, that man hits way too hard, Alex needs to just stay at MW and defend a few times before he does other shit

 

[The XL]

Franics wouldn't have to wrestle Pereira, even though he could if he wanted to/needed to. Pereira isn't as elusive as Gane, he likes to pressure guys. He'd walk right into one of Francis's sledgehammers and get slept. He got rocked badly by a guy who weighted 200lbs in his Light Heavyweight fight with Jan. He'd be going to sleep if he fought Francis.

 

[GolovKing]

doubt that. Do you realize Pereira walks around at the same weight as Stipe? Also in a striking match Stipe would lose to a few Kickboxers Pereira beat, same with Jairzinho

He fights at middleweight for a reason. Stipe would not be able to cut down to 185. His walk around weight of 230 lbs is not comparable to stipes in the cage weight of 230 + lbs

 

[Roop Holstry]

Pereira has the frame to compete at hw. I could see him being like 230-235 in there. He is definitely a better striker than Ngannou and could certainly win in the feet.

But if Ngannou doesn’t like what’s happening on the feet he can rag doll pereira to the ground.

 

[Roop Holstry]

I like how people are saying Izzy rocked Pereira so he would automatically get ko’d by Francis on the feet. Both Izzy and Pereira are much better strikers than Ngannou.

Im not saying Alex would win but if it stayed standing it’s not unreasonable at all. He’s a world class champion kickboxer who just finished a durable and extremely elusive champion.

Strength matters a lot less in stand up fighting and Pereira is the same height as Ngannou. Once you have guys over 230 lbs trading punches anyone had the ability to knock each other out. Ngannou would be smart to mix in some grappling

he is just good at cutting weight and had big money to make because of his history with Adesanya. How is it not comparable?

Basically this is it. Of course Ngannou could win by grappling, but if there is some striking anything could happen between those two.

 

[Leon Edwards]

Alex would easily beat Rosen. People don't understand how good of a kick boxer Alex is.

Gane outstruk ngannou. Alex is a better lockboxes than Gane

 

[VAfan]

lol. never ceases to amaze me. the power of the human imagination is fearsome. people seem to have a compulsive need to exaggerate.

 

[Takes_Two_To_Tango]

Ngannou would behead Poatan with an uppercut.

 

[paindisher]

Nganou has grappling and would obviously be the favourite but Piera is one of the best strikers in the UFC.

Jiri is also a striker Pereira would probably be the favourite here.

Styles make fights

Jiri yes, Fancis, I doubt it

 

[Frode Falch]

Francis would do that Donkey Kong thing he did a few fight back. And it would be all over

 

[GolovKing]

Pereira is not in fight shape at 230 lbs. If you weigh stipe between camps when his conditioning isn't there he's going to be a lot bigger than 230

 

[humdizzle]

francis wrestles him to a finish.

if it stays striking its possible alex could win if he lands that hook clean. idk if he'd style on him though. jan b wasn't ever thought of a striking master but he stood there with izzy and seemed fine.

Pereira was weighting that a couple of days after this last fight. Do you think he got out of shape and a couple of days?

He could cut his right arm off and likely beat Edwards as well

Volk has a better Chance v edwards
