Polish Power?

Jan Błachowicz' record is 29 wins, 9 losses, 1 Draw.

Of Jan's wins, the breakdown is

9 by KO (31%)
9 by Sub (31%)
11 by Dec (38%)

Of Jan's losses, the breakdown is

2 by KO (22%)
2 by Sub (22%)
5 by Dec (56%)

Overall, Jan has a 74% win rate (62% by finish, but only 31% by KO), but loses 26% of the time.
He has not some freak knockout artist, which some people make him out to be.

By contrast, Alex Pereira's MMA record is 7 wins 2 losses, 0 draws.

Of Alex' wins, the breakdown is

6 by KO (86%)
0 by Sub (0%)
1 by Dec (14%)

Of Alex' losses, the breakdown is

1 by KO (50%)
1 by Sub (50%)
0 by Dec (0%)

Overall, Alex has a 78% win rate (86% by finish, all by KO), but loses 22% of the time.
Alex is clearly the KO artist in this matchup.

So the matchup is pretty even, win / loss %-wise.

In kickboxing, in 40 pro fights, Alex won 33, lost 7, which is an 82.5% win record, losing only 17.5% of the time.
Of his 33 wins, 21 were by KO, which is a 64% KO ratio.

Age-wise, Alex is 36, Jan is 40, so the reflex factor is likely going to be in Alex' favor.

Polish Power is a catchy alliteration. Pereira should have something similar, like Brazilian Bomb.

While Jan may not be a constant KO artist, he does have a lot of power to batter his opponents into living death, such as Dominick Reyes.

Also, when he KOs people, it's glorious

Jan does have a certain power, true.

He definitely isn't feather-fisted, but he doesn't really flatline people either.

While power is the last to go, not sure he's got the speed (at 40 years of age now) to handle Alex's power, who has more than twice the KO percentage, and legit flatline KOs on his highlight reel.

Did you just compare Jans 39 fight sample most of which fighting top comp in KSW/UFC to Alex 9 fight sample half of which from Jungle Fight

 

[Karelinator]

It's marketing tropem he kinda came up with when he KO'd Rocksalt and Anderson, and those were vicious knockouts, so the timing was perfect.

Still, he can ko you or submit you 75% of time, which is pretty good score.

What else is there to go on in MMA?

Do you think all of Jan's fights have been against the elite?

Alex will KO you 86% of the time in MMA, 64% of the time against the best kickboxer's in the world.

There has to be context. Just comparing like that without looking at competition is silly.

Jan has fought far stronger comp. Alex pre UFC comp are extremely low level fighters and Michailidis was knocked out in all 4 of his losses pre Alex. Alex couldnt drop or finish Bruno either. He has the power advantage but its not as big as gap shows. Jan has dropped many fighters who he didnt KO - Manuwa, Cannoneer, Cummins, Jacare. He buckled and severely butchered Ankalaev legs too bad him falling over with leg kicks. These are 5 fights that go to decision but he clearly showed big power.

The only fight Alex didn't get the KO on (Silva), was a 3-rounder ... and Bruno Silva just had his nose broken, was on wobbly legs, backing-up at the end of the 3rd ... when the bell saved his ass from a KO.

The second the bell rung, Silva sat down, holding his nose, exhausted.

So no, it's not a KO "technically" ... but Ray Charles could see Bruno Silva was just about done when the bell saved him.

Speaking of context, you can't overlook Alex' record as a kickboxer, either.

In fact, trying to compare "MMA strikers" to the world's best kickboxers is itself laughable.

In no universe is Jan Błachowicz as good a striker, or as powerful a puncher, as Alex Pereira.
Pereira doubles Błachowicz' KO percentage, as a kickboxer, and nearly triples it in MMA.

The only question remaining is the power edge at light heavyweight, and in MMA.

We will find out this coming Saturday night.

You can hit hard and still not have a crazy ko percentage. Michael Johnson hits very hard and only has 9 ko's in 21 wins. Woodley only has 7 ko's out of his 19 wins, Burns hits pretty hard but only has 6 ko's etc.. Also it's just a silly nickname, don't take it too seriously lol

How much they paying you to shill anyway?

This is true.

so these numbers are forever? just mathematical law now.

They are statistical facts, not mathematical law.

no. not a fact at all

No, Jan can KO you or submit you 62% of the time (only 31% by KO).

this is whats called a probability

0 fact in your statement other than the average sum of PREVIOUS data

happy to educate

 

[Davidjacksonjones]

Will you be beefing with your nemesis Dreyga during the leadup and aftermath of this fight?

 

[pride_rules]

They are statistical facts, not mathematical law.

noun

1. a thing that is known or proved to be true.
   "he ignores some historical and economic facts"

Probability is simply how likely something is to happen. Whenever we're unsure about the outcome of an event, we can talk about the probabilities of certain outcomes—how likely they are. The analysis of events governed by probability is called statistics.

hope that helps you with future facts

You're not bright enough to distinguish between "a fact" and "mathematical law" ... so you're in no position to educate anyone.

Nice attempt at trying to recover from your LACK of knowledge, in your perpetual effort to be a jerk; but you failed utterly.
