UFC: ko of the year goes to Alex Pereira

[KOPPE]

"Surprise, surprise, LFA brings yet another KO of the Year fighter to UFC FIGHT PASS. Kickboxing megastar Alex Pereira came with as much hype behind him as one would expect for the only man to ever KO middleweight champ Israel Adesanya. His opponent Thomas Powell was thinking head kick defense one too many times and ended up eating a left hand that would bring his night and the show as a whole to an abrupt halt."

Dude didnt move for like 20 minutes. I thought he was dead for real.

Let him ko fraudesanya again.

 

[RedFoxNdisBihhh]

Ol boy did the Statue of Liberty

 

[Sir Punchalot]

fraudesanya

Clown.

 

[13Seconds]

He looked so calm while KOing this poor soul

 

[ThaiSexPills]

Cool KO but that Joaquim Buckley (spelling?) was my pick and probably the pick of many others.

Ol boy did the Statue of Liberty

not the first time

I'm genuinely curious, why do you consider Adesanya a fraud? He's obliterated Whittaker and Costa, beaten Romero and Gastelum, what more does he need to do to be legitimate? If he's a fraud, what fighters in the UFC are not?
Don't get me wrong, I get not liking the guy, but fraud is definitely not a word I would pick to describe him.

 

[Volador]

This guy seems to have absurd Wilderesque power. He throws that hook almost nonchalantly but his opponent looks like he slammed face first into a wall of cement, and it's not the first time he's done it. Crazy stuff. Your thread title should be "Fight Pass KOTY" though.

Agreed. I really don't like his arrogance, but after the Costa win, you must respect his skills

Yeah, I don't really get it. Is this chosen over Buckley's?

 

[RedFoxNdisBihhh]

@KOPPE

imo that was more of a snow angel than statue of liberty

 

[Rawplier]

Here you go Alex, your 100K KO of year bonus!

Just a thought.

 

[Johnny_Knuckles]

Costa would waste this dude. Not even a white belt

 

[BigTruck]

Level of competition should be a factor. Dude is a legit world class kickboxer and he fought a legit nobody scrub. The guy was 4-4 no business at all being in there.

 

[JosephTessaro]

So he will eventually get signed by UFC, no wonder why Israel is testing the LHW waters...staying away from his kryptonite...

Alex was choked out on his mma debut and he was 2-1 before he fought this guy
if you look at it the scrub has more experience in mma

I for one welcome our new kickboxing overlords
