Media Poatan: "I'm coming back firm and strong, to get my belt back."

[WoozyFailGuy]

Poatan haters may still be screaming "Influencer!" but it doesn't seem to bother Alex Pereira one bit.

"We'll definitely be talking about my next fight soon. I don't have a specific date yet, but we already have an idea...I'm coming back firm and strong, to get my belt back."



BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR BIG ANK

 

[Rio Ferdinand]

Tell this man to let his hands go the next time he fights ank.

 

[Hymen Crusher]

Good. The ufc has so few exciting fighters right now. All his fights are exciting except the last one, but that's to be expected against a neckbeard

 

[Spam On Rye]

One of the few "must watch" fighters left.

 

[Söze Aldo]

Tell this man to let his hands go the next time he fights ank.

The fact he now knows he can stuff most of Anks takedowns should allow him to relax a little more this time and let the offence flow.

I feel like this is going to be the best LHW fight we've had in a long time. Poatan knows he can stuff the TD, Ank knows he can box with Poatan (Ank has great handplay).

WFG, only a total loser would scream "Influencer!" at Alex.

A normal, well adjusted person would scream "Chuh-Wee-Wee."

I-I-I mu-mu-meant CHAMA !!!​

 

[Zyklon R]

Hopefully he comes in thick, solid and tight too no but on a more serious not I'm a big fan of Alex and hope he comes to fight next time

 

[Captain Insano]

 

[ejazahmednit]

Okay
Hope it gets signed soon. Ankalaev wants to fight soon so

 

[shorinryu86]

Anklev has his numbers.

 

[MMAFanCal]

Big Ank will win again.

 

[2004 account]

War poatan win or lose
fuc abdelasleez' tweet baits and screw the immature haters. Alex has provided enough carnage, show some respect.

 

[Mr.Maelstrom]

He's done more in 4 years in the UFC than most fighters could hope to do in 2 careers worth of opportunities. The gimmick with the war paint and the bow and arrow alone give him more personality than most English speaking north Americans. He's been a treat to watch.

All that said, there's nothing left to shoot for except a 3rd belt and I think a 2nd loss to Ank would put cold water on that for good. He's 37, in his 2nd combat sport.
He's way closer to the end at this point, no need to take fights just to take them.
We didn't really deserve this guy anyway, lol

 

[Ladron4sherdog]

Ank will beat him more comprehensively this time. If it happens (and I think it will), then all the hype about Alex going to HW will be extinguished.

 

[ThaiSexPills]

It blows my mind this guy has haters

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

Tell this man to let his hands go the next time he fights ank.

It's that easy I'm guessing?

 

[Mr.Maelstrom]

It blows my mind this guy has haters

Worst fan base in all of sports tbh.
The kinda dudes who arbitrarily hate anything popular or widely praised out of sheer bitterness imo.

"Yeah, those guys who win by knockout 2-3 times a year in title fights bring in all the fucking casuals... I hate them. Can't wait to see him lose, the butthurt etc"

 

[BarbellzNbacon]

I think he would lose to Ank again. He has already accomplished so much. I 'd rather him gravitate toward fun match ups
