I wonder how this one will go

 

[MaestroMike]

lopes wins good short notice fight by both these guys

 

[MaestroMike]

alex and jiri gonna have a wild stare off

 

[MaestroMike]

maybe all that screaming in the walkout wakes up ur nervous system before a fight

 

[MaestroMike]

lmao their staredown

someones gonna get KO'd

 

[Unknown Soldier]

LMAO the odds for the fight going the distance -575

Someone is "going to the dark land" this fight according to the oddsmakers

 

[MaestroMike]

 

[MaestroMike]

knockdown right at the end could've ended it if alex could've got some GnP in

Kickboxers are severely underrated in the UFC is what I got out of tonight

how did izzy beat alex lol

Every time Alex wins, it makes Izzy's victory that much better.

and izzy picked against alex his last two fights when alex destroying in higher weight divisions raises izzy's stock i know izzys happy probably roots for alex secretly

Alex hit him with that head kick magic (after softening him at the end of the 1st round).

 

[SpiceRacz]

Pereira is undeniable. In a really short amount of time, he's elevated himself to an all time great. In terms of legacy, I'd rank him above Adesanya at this point.

Couldn't stay awake for this one so I watched the entire thing on fast forward in about 10 minutes this morning. Looked like two guys refusing to engage or rolling around on the floor to little effect, followed by decisions that could have gone either way (if you go by the scoring on Sherdog anyway). Nice finish in the last match, but Jiri was basically done at the end of the first round. Came out for the second and got dropped in five seconds.

what's next for Alex now?

Jbj?

move up to hw?

They would have had an easy layup if Anthony showed up, but seeing as he kinda shit the bed(or he's just at the end and isn't physically capable anymore), Ankalaev is probably the "rightful" choice. If they want money and views rematch with Jamal. He's still so salty and pissed about UFC 300 that he will sell the shit out of that conference and PPV lol

That Staredown was cinematic as fuck, the way the camera panned around both Alex and Jiri was next level

You don't fight guards down with one of the UFC's most vicious striker.

Imho his path now is wait for Jones vs Miocic and then Bones vs Poatan in the heavyweight.

If he becomes champion in 3 weight classes he will be elevated the JBJ/AS/GSP level of goatness. If he loses, he still has the LHW title to put on the line.

That short notice title defense surely gave him some points with Dana to do whatever he wants.

That part at 4:04 in the video with the camera panned over Jiris shoulder and looking at Alex and music from Alexs walk out kicks in. Is easily the greatest moment i've seen everything just synched so well with that staredown.

It really did feel like like they were locked in some kind've spiritual battle here. lol

Just a legendary moment, camera man did an amazing job.

 

[abstract alien]

This really is a thing of beauty. His slip was so perfect, and the counter was spot on. Jamal threw a hope and a dream into that shot with his eyes closed, and the reaction from Alex was just phenomenal. I don't know what could have made it better honestly.

 

[GymWolf]

Lmao absolute journeyman who never accomplisned jack shit had a bigger sendoff than some legends of the sports, fucking hilarious.

 

[GymWolf]

how did izzy beat alex lol

Alex is not a middleweight, his chin is not as good with that huge weightcut and he rushed for a finish.

Calm pereira probably beats dogbender 7 times out of 3.

There is a similar moment after alex ko jiri where the camera pan on jiri getting up and looking at pereira that just look at him for 2 sec before turning his back, that was cold af.
