Periera posts current weight (230.6lbs)

[markys00]

I don't get the point of this thread. Omg a fighter weighs more than his weigh in weight? More news at 12?

I don't understand why people are even entertaining this dumb idea. Alex gets KOed within 2 minutes. His lack of proper striking defense (keeping his hands down) will be the culprit.

Aspinall only has to connect once. He is better than Alex everywhere and much faster as well. This is a matchup only a 12 yr old would make.

this is what a healthy HW should look like

Its a good thing USADA is gone.

Give this man some picograms.

 

[Yep]

Woman leaves, you eat out more(take that however you want,) and you get fat. Iz normal.

That’s still a bit small for HW. He should be 10 pounds heavier

his head reminds me of tito and bigfoot
alot of weight comes from that gigantic head
his body looks small for a 230 lb man
stipe is a naturally big dude even weighing in like 230 lbs

it could be sucralose in his protein. he should try this

I agree that Poatan could probably push to 240ish max, but he's only four pounds light than Stipe was for his rematch with Francis right now, that's pretty crazy.

The fight with such a brutal discrepancy that it looked like child abuse?

 

[Nobru]

Almeida will sit on his chest for 25 minutes or grab a rnc win

Aspinall also the favorite but Poatan can pull it off. It only takes one from both of them.

I think Pereira would do fine at heavyweight. Don't see him getting the belt though, Aspinall is a better wrestler than any of the contenders at 205.

Better than Ank? I dunno about that.

Saying that the two weight GLORY champ and two weight UFC champ has bad striking defense while he's only been KO'd once is a steep hill to die on lol. I would pick Tom to win via gnp TKO, but I think it would be a lot more competitive than people are assuming. Still agree that it is not a good matchup to make unless Alex is vacating and moving up permanently, I'd rather see him just clear out 205.

Up until the fight happened, the majority were still picking Stipe, and him being a light HW along with Velasquez used to be talked about as an advantage in the "new" wave of HWs until it wasn't. Every few years in the past decade we've flip flopped on "You have to cut to 265" and "You have to be around 240" depending on who's on top.

Imagine what a unit this guy would be if he was allowed to juice to his heart's content

His striking defense in MMA and in kickboxing are different. His hands stay low due to the threat of TD. Aspinall has heavy hands and Alex's chin is far from the best so...

Alex having a weak chin is the biggest myth on this board IMO

 

[Trabaho]

Stipe was 230 in the second DC fight.

But Stipe got a wrestling background

I agree, Poatan only got KO’d once in his whole career, just check out this thread of mine:

Will the Izzy-knockout affect Alex Pereira’s confidence?

… and to a lesser extent, his fighting style? Alex has never been KO’d in his fighting career, prior to his loss against Adesanya last week. Poatan only had 2 TKO losses. In 2016, Alex Pereira got TKO’d by Artur Kyshenko (standing TKO, referee stopped the fight). No shame in that though...

That’s his normal walk around weight, he weigh 226lbs at the start of fight camp against Adesanya the first time around.
