Anthony Smith will shortly throw his hat in the mix

Well... UFC doesn't have a card in Abu Dhabi in December so it won't be Magomed...

 

[cburm]

He wants ddp

 

[KarateYeah]

Dude drives with no doors

Sure, but in December? That'd be kinda nuts. That's a weight cut you gotta prep for I would think

Pereira is much, much better than Rountree. I don't think Rountree has grappling nor wrestling to even try. Doesn't even have cardio advantage either obviously. Pereira is much better version of Rountree, like every shape or form imaginable. Hell, wouldn't even surprise me if Pereira is even a better grappler. He probably is.

I do think Pereira knocks his ass out in first couple rounds, but when you can knock out Saki, yes I know Saki didn't adapt his game well like Pereira, but believe me you, if you can knock out Saki, you can knock out Pereira, who's been hurt and put lights out before.

You count people out at your own peril, in this heartless game. Hope Alex isn't looking past him. I think if they fight 10 times, Pereira wins at least 9 times. But it'd be mad to look forward to other fights after.

MW? That would be a big mistake imo, DDP at LHW? Sure, but that offers nothing for Pereira who has been nothing but impressive at LHW and the logical superfight for him its HW, imho.

 

[JoeRowe]

Probably vs Aspinall for vacant HW title, if anything

If what you are suggesting happens...i believe Aspinall gets promoted to undisputed, does he get the "paper champ" sherdog treatment?

 

[lewisnerbaska]

I love this man

If there is anyone in this whole world that I would trade you for, it's him. Thank god he is not gay though.

 

[VinceArch]

"paper champ" sherdog treatment?

Well he currently has more defenses then the current champion does.

If Alex beats Khalil, his next fight will be against Aspinall.

Agreed, looking past opponents regardless of "rankings" especially at LHW and HW where one clean shot simply because of a split second lapse of judgement can means KO, is a huge mistake.

EDIT:
I will always be giggling at Overeem Vs Bigfoot Silva.

One of the best fights ever. Down two rounds, juiced to kingdom come, that was Horsemeat Overeem too still.

It wasn't horsemeat overeem, he got caught already and was deflated.

he got caught, but this ain't draining a gas tank or something. Just cuz you stop, doesn't mean it just disappears into thin air. That Overeem was still horsemeat Overeem weighting in at 264 pounds. THEN, in the next fight, he weighed 9 pounds less.

 

[NoSmilez]

Khalil doesn't have much of a chance. He is undersized and I don't believe he is as technical as Alex in terms of setting up traps. He tries to emulate a traditional Thai style and it comes with weaknesses. His wrestling is really bad too. He does have power and if he lands then he can sleep Alex.

 

[sonhow]

Well he pretty much has to, right? He about the only guy to accept Danas terms, who else is gonna headline if not him?

Easily fighter of the year 2024
