Power is the only aspect Alex Pereira is better than prime Anderson Silva

[HHJ]

lol

He does alot of things better than Anderson.

You know there is room on this planet for the both of them?

Anderson sends the overrated Poatan to sleep. What the disgusting recency bias famboy chumps in this thread don't understand is that guys like Roundtree and Jamal Hill simply suck.

Serious question - what do the Brazilians think of the Dagestanis / Chechens ?

They hate them. They call them cheaters and boring fighters lol

I think many brazilian used to like Khabib because he beated Conor and Conor was hated for having humiliated and taken Aldo's belt. But they hate Islam because he taken Charle's belt. Ankalaev is pretty hated by brazilian fans too

Combine Poatan's punching power with Silva's technical mastery and you'd have an unbeatable fighter.

Better striker or better MMA fighter?

Because there’s a difference.

 

[MarioLemieux]

I think Poatan's frame, low kicks and left hook are also substantially better but overall I agree with the sentiment. Anderson was more well rounded and fluid.

Styles make fights. Chuck was kryptonite to ground-based fighters who had average standup, but he had mixed results against high-level strikers. Shogun was an excellent stand-up fighter, who also happened to be pretty good on the mat. Both can end a fight in one shot. I got Shogun winning 2/3.

In all other MMA valences Spider was better or at least the same Poatan level

Pereira would had NEVER submited all american wrestlers like Sonnen and Hendo using pure bjj

Pereira lost two rounds in a pure striking combat by a way shorter Rountree. Vitor is better than him and didn't last three minutes in front Anderson

All people that are putting Alex above Anderson as an MMA fighter are noob as fuck

Bro poaton is a bootleg jbj..

Anderson Silva was the Barry sanders of MMA there will never be another
