News Pereira tells Khamzat he is moving to HW after Khamzat calls him out

[CombatCyborg]

Poatan vs. Swolekov would be a better fight than vs. Ulberg at this point. You can't go much further down the HW rankings for a good mu lol but Volkov or Pavlovich would create at least some excitement. Of course Pereira doesn't have to take either of those fights because he's lined up perfectly to fight the Tom/Gane winner.

Khamzat, Tom and Jones beats Alex.

Don't get it confused. Levels bro.

 

[JKS]

HW for Poatan! Real challenge.

As Clubber Lang once said “I reject the challenge cause he is no challenge”

Poatan would smack him once and then pound him out. Khamzat wouldn’t be able to take the strikes. Poatan would hurt him with the first shot he lands

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

are we sure Khamzat will be ok until then? maybe someone get a bubble so he can live in it until his first title defense in 2029.

Good.

The condition Dricus was in after losing a 5 round title fight where he was “dominated” was absolutely fine. I don’t know how you “fight” someone for that long and literally don’t hurt them.
I also don’t know how Khamzat let Gilbert do that to him.

But yeah Khamzat needs to defend his belt and win a fight at 205 before he gets Alex…who might be too big for him after adjusting to LHW for a couple years

2022 Burns would maul Pereira at 170lbs tbf

Also Khamzat isn't a purple belt anymore, so he's probably not as scared of taking Burns down anymore

Well that's all retarded

 

[TheNewGame]

Well that's all retarded

It's pretty smart, actually. Why would a purple belt risk spending so much time on the ground with elite BJJ world champ like Burns? You think Khamzat couldn't take him down or something?

 

[Young Calf Kick]

If there’s ever a time to go to HW for Pereira it’s now. His legacy as one of the greatest fighters of all time is already set in stone, losing at HW won’t even matter. He’s 38, if he wants to do one last crazy career move and still have a decent shot at winning, this is the time to do it before father time eventually catches up to him.

 

[Pequeño Corey]

I haven't heard Pereira mention Tom or the HW belt, I think he's hoping Jones comes out of retirement.

Yes, or he's praying for a Gane win. Wouldn't be picking Chama over Tom, but would be glad if he won.

 

[MMACro]

Lot of shook lads here just thinking about their potential fight lol

We know how it goes ✌

 

[Ginja_Ninja]

Khamzat has beaten 2 MWs in the top 10 and averages 1 fight a year.

Focus on your own division, maybe he can clear out the division by 2032.

 

[CroCopsLHK]

I got a wild idea:

Imavov vs Khamzat
Ulberg vs Pierera

 

[balkanbomber85]

I just love how TS now plays it like he is a Poatan fan and that he isnt butthurt that his boy lost BUT then cannot stop daydreaming about another neckbeard getting revenge for their bruddah.

You think Khazmat was purple belt level? Its just an absolutely retarded thing to add to the post
His fight before Burns he took down and easily submitted a black belt.

 

[AL-Tappo McSnappo]

There's plenty for Chimaev to do at MW.

Poatan has gutted the LHW division. The HW division needs some matchups & Pereira being in the mix of that will help a ton. Fck off Khamzat.

Alex has a limited amount of time and fights, that is why Khamzat needs to get that fight, all MW fights are not as interesting.

 

[chinarice]

Smart move imo the Wolf would eat Alex and he knows it, better to lose against Tom, who he actually has a better chance against stylistically tbh

Alex Pereira responds to Khamzat Chimaev's shock callout following UFC 320 title win

Pereira has issued his response.

bloodyelbow.com

However, following Chimaev’s shock callout, Pereira issued a response, stating that he is not interested in fighting the Chechen.

“Thanks for congratulating me but all I want is a super fight, I wanna fight at heavyweight but all I can say is thank you,” Pereira said.

lol he moved to LHW when he was called out by Khamzat while he was at MW now he's like oh you will come fight me at 205? Fuck that, HW time for me!

This dude will go his entire UFC tenure fighting strikers

 

[Bwagster]

Potan is in the backend of his career. At this point it’s about grabbing that $$$$ on the way out the back door. He’s earned it.

You're better of just sticking to the usual ad hominem without actually proving your ignorance like you did here.

Really good argument, didn't disprove anything I said. Solid post, youre a smart guy.

 

[Xanzito]

Would love to see Khamzat as a double champ.
Two divisions having a defending champ every 2 years (one each every year)
