Interesting how her stance, footwork and body movement is extremely similar to her brothers'. It looks like a female version of Alex Pereira.

I actually think his fighting style isn't well suited for MMA and welterweight is a wrestling heavy division. I might be wrong but I don't think he'll be doing that well in MMA.

I said this a while back but as Tayski said, welterweight has always been a wrestler-heavy division in mma, and Doumbe had reckless and open style of kickboxing that wrestlers would eat for lunch. Also, make no mistake Alex's reign won't last long, he'll get taken down and laid on/subbed within 1 or 2 fights, i hate to say it but it's true.

While we agree on Doumbe, I'm not so sure that Pereira is destined to lose within 1 or 2 fights by a grappler. Whittaker would be a bad match-up but I think Peireira would eventually find his chin in a 5-round fight, and I don't think guys like Vettori or Gastelum have what it takes for Pereira. Actually what would be a nightmare match-up for Peireira is if he fought Chimaev, but for that Chimaev would have to go up in weight and get the title shot. If Adesanya was able to dominate that divison with a bit of takedown defense I'm confident Pereira can too, he just needs to really work on his grappling.
