#UFC #UFC291
At first I thought Wonderboy pulling out over a few pounds was a stupid idea, but then I remembered that Michel is only #15 in welterweight and does nothing for Wonderboy's career. He had the chance to fight a legend and blew it!
Being #15 & missing weight is bad for his career. The UFC/Dana hates missing weight more than they do steroid use.
Yeup!
He’s missed weight a couple of times now.
Exactly! Also I don't think this is the first time wonderboy didn't fight because his opponent missed weight by a mile
@@liamriley9816 Yep. Dude just needs to move up to MW.
Alex Pereira is fucking beast. Makes Jan look like he's 170.
How on earth is he still bigger than Jan? He makes no sense.
He's so fucking big! The size of his head! Jeeeeez
His head says heavyweight division…he must have been one foot in the grave at middleweight.
they literally weigh the same.
He can go for heavyweight if he wants to 😂
Can't believe Wonderboy and Pereira is off 😩 what a loss, that was gonna be insane.
Wait why is it off
@@lucaheaton8523 Pereira didn't make weight and I guess they couldn't come to an agreement
lies
@@funnyaf unfortunately not 😓
@@funnyaf Not Alex pereira. Michael Pereira. If you check his highlights he does flips and stuff and wonder boy is just a cool guy that throws kicks like crazy
I feel bad for Wonderboy. He did a whole training camp and Michele missed weight last minute. He was 4 pounds overweight That's so unprofessional
Yup.. I think Thompson would still woop him 🤷♂️ coulda made a lotta dough
@MarsPluto69 yeah makes sense, why risk his ranking if he's getting $$$ woulda been a sick ass fight though.. wonderboy said fuck the fans lol
*laughs in khamzat
Bruh wtf I did not realize Alex was that much taller than Jan. He makes Jan look like he’s the one who moved up a weight class
fr I have no idea how Alex made 185
What are you talking about He’s like 2 inches taller then Jan who’s listed at 6,2 how is that a surprise we all know Alex is 6,4
@@GgGg-vs7jo It's actually the whole size difference that creates that effect. Alex's head, his shoulders, limb length. He's just an all around bigger dude 😳
@@infiniterer287 I agree Honestly he was killing himself to make 185 his power is gonna crazy at 205 🥶
@@infiniterer287 Original commenter was talking about height which didn't look all that much. And Jan is over 6 ft as well and has 78 inch reach. I don't think Alex is that much bigger
Alex is scary. His eyes are pretty much fearless.
If Jan beats both Izzy and Alex that will be the ultimate flex 💪
True but also if Alex beats Jan that’s a bigger flex on Izzy. Beating the only other guy to who beat you 😂 that’ll live in Izzy head for sure haha. My heart says Alex but my head says Jan.
You mean when. As soon as it goes to the ground it’s over
@@WithHealthbarsthe same. Logically Jan has to win, but I want Pereira to win so Izzy rivalry continues. If Jan wins everyone will forget Pereira. If Pereira wins we have a mad Izzy and a new potential champion of this division
by that point, jan has debunked kickboxing lol
@@WithHealthbars I don't think it will live in Izzy's head. He already picked Alex to beat Jan lol..
Holy moly, they said alex pereira was big for middleweight. Hes big for light heavyweight.
Fr, Jan isn’t small for light heavyweight either.
😂 yea Alex has been a heavyweight masquerading as a middle
Tony ferguson looks like the terminator.
Let's hope he terminates green
Hopefully he acts like one in the fight otherwise we’ll probably get a retirement speech 😢
At least they moved Derek Lewis to the main card he deserves it
I really want him to get on a win streak again. Just don’t have him fight in his home town Houston he gets nervous or whatever. He does great just about everywhere else.
I just hope he candle the elevation and doesn't drop dead
@@santiagonunez6294 I think he’ll be good on that. His cardio is better and he’s a lot leaner now.
DERRICK BBC BLACK BEAST
Earned not deserved.🇺🇲
He makes Jan look small
Poatan🗿🗿🗿
How tf did alex even make middleweight 😂
When he rehydrates he’s going to be enormous on fight night.
Seriously. What’s crazier is the fact he doesn’t look that heavy. Dude still looks slim but a beast at the same time. I can only imagine what he looks like at heavyweight
Even Bobby's cordial shove was aggressive, lmao.
Damn Alex Pereira is huge!
Damn. Miranda Maverick is STACCED!
Poor Priscila, always getting used as a stepping stone 🤣
Interesting build
Only from side
"Here's a belt guys, be happy" - Islam Makhachev
Lol Joe Rogan in the thumbnail
Cool seeing him do something he loves even though he doesn’t need the 💵
Chiesa looks like he's in next level shape ove neve seen him that shredded
1:03 "Hey what's up brother, you gud?" "Yeah brother" "Get out my face!"
This is one of the best cards fr. I literally want to see every one of these fights.
Super strong card all across the board!!
Dana please suspend or cut Michel Pereira or better yet do not pay him! That’s unprofessional as hell to sign a contract and not follow through with it. These fighters don’t understand that they rob the fans that pay hard earned money to see them.
I feel like Poirier vs Gaethje 2 will be a little bit more technical fight than the first one, but I believe Poirier's still gonna get the win in the end either by decision or TKO late in the fight
Rooting for Gaethje so I don’t have to hear about Poirier’s hot sauce or what a charity good guy he is in the post fight speech 🤦♂️
@@TXetcwho asked lol
No gaethje standing defense is grown dramatically. I think 60% gaethje win
@@louisianimal24 no one. But it's KZhead and anyone can comment, bud
@@NoahCanFB who cares lol
Tony looks like he went back to a time machine. Shades n blades baby. The comeback starts today
Pereira looks BIGGER than both heavyweight
Thats a hell of a fight ladies and gentlemen
Took a break watching after UFC Canada but this card is a banger. So excited
290 was a beautiful night
Good Wishes to Both these World 🌎 Recognised Players...as selected to play on this precious platform.
Justin Jan Derrick Bobby Kevin
I got Dustin Alex Derrick Tony Kevin
@@brandonpark4860 that's my prediction too
@brandonpark4860 yep got tony too bobby no wrestling all about styles
I got Alex Justin tony Holland Derrick
Tony pisses everybody off with his sunglasses
Man, this card is like emotional rollercoaster…Seeing Derrick Lewis and Tony and realising that this can be their swan song with the org…Damn, that hits hard! Wish best of luck for them
Alex is HUUUGE
Poatan 0 Grappling my Boy Jan finish in round 1.
Exactly why I think tony can get it done against bobby..bobby no wrestling
It’s almost time!! UFC 291 is going to be amazing!! Alex Pereira Vs Jan will be a good one and Dustin Poirier Vs Justin Gaethje 2 will be a war 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hell of a card
I'm calling it now.. this will be the best fight of 2023!
which fight? there are a lot of great match ups on this card
Alex looks like a giant
Justin looks like he's ready for his welterweight debut. Dustin is not a small guy but Justin definitely does have the size advantage over him. This should be a great fight. And if I'm being 100% honest I really don't want to see a five-round war between these two because it could damage them for the rest of their lives. But I would never be angry if it was a five-round fight I'm just worried about both Dustin and Justin's longevity. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Like I said yesterday, in response to another fella's *thoughts* on this fight......someone (don't know which one) between Dustin and Justin (IMO) will "never step into *ANY* octagon/ring to fight in front of any paid fans ever again, after this fight." It's just this feeling that "reached out and touched my mind" almost two weeks back, actually (now LEGALY) 11 days ago. I went on the record in response to something....a *thought* (out of the ordinary) that this guy said. What was/is weird, is that there was ABSOLUTELY NOT ONE RESPONSE.....not one. I had a feeling I knew what had happened - - - so I went to my neighbor and told them what channel/title of the video etc. - and though it showed up on *MY cell and laptop*.......it didn't show on theirs. Fascinating. I knew that stuff happened and all and I had heard the term. That is now (at least as far as I know FOR A FACT) the *SECOND TIME* that my comment has simply been "ghosted.* haha I almost feel privileged. If anyone thinks, even in a simple UFC channel, that you can just leave your honest feelings or comment......you're sadly mistaken. It is sooooo easy nowadays to control thoughts and words of the masses.
Dustin is clearly the bigger guy
Lol these guys r born to fight..they know the damage that comes with these fights dawg
Dustin is definitely bigger and wider than Gaethje. He has really wide shoulders and torso.
@@MrPocketfullOfSteel ??? Bro ya lost me, I have comment's disappear here and there. My opinion only matters to me what others think is irrelevant to me because they are faceless people I don't know.
Man Poatan is a MONSTER! Can't believe he made middleweight, crazy he dwarfs Jan!
How does he dwarf Yan, he is taller, but not that much 0:15
@@northlord8938facts . they are making it seem like he is 5 inches taller wtf
LETS GOOOO!!!
Andrew Tates fighting 1:07 😳😳
Miranda maverick yum yum
Fire✨
E muito bom asiste mma Ufc
If Jan fights smart and implements constant takedowns and heavy wrestling, I feel like he's very likely gonna beat Alex by decision if not by ground-and-pound TKO late in the fight
Yea it's kinda Jan's fight to win or lose. If he stands, it's lose.
Alex "Jack Hanma" Pereira 🆚 Jan "Sikorsky" Blachowicz
Poirier vs Gaethje 2 is going to be a war for the ages
I wonder what Bobby said to Tony there🤷♂️
Awfully quiet compared to the first faceoff...he knows what's up 😎👊
It'll be on the Embedded episode probably.
I might be dumb but was Justin always this big😂
Right? He looks huge lol
justin is legit 5.11
The last time these guys fought, gaethje was hardly cutting weight. Your eyes aren’t deceiving you, he’s gotten bigger.
Justin has put on a lot of muscle recently. It was apparent in the Fiziev fight.
I wouldn't be surprised if Alex knocked his ass out. That's how he always finishes his fights. It's normal. Even if Jan manages to take him down somehow, Alex will get back up and fucks him up. I mean Jan needs some sort of miracle to pull it off. Paotan is just different
😂
Kevin Holland does the easiest fight of the night imo
Goddamn this is gonna be awesome!!!!!
Jan looks tiny next to Alex 😂
This card is stacked some fireworks gonna happen
what about wonderboy vs pereira?...😭😭😭...i was super excited for this fight
El Cucuy 👊
Alex.!!! 🇧🇷 ♥️
let's go poirier 🔥
Interesting. I hear chael sonnen's back for the ufc. That's good news.
This card is gonna be a whole lot of finishes. Prepare for a lot of talking between fights.
Dustin via 3rd round submission.
I hope chiesa gets the W
Go Tony
I thought poirier is taller than gathje
💎
Damn! The main event is off...😫🤬
Great Card tbh
Tony is still fighting lmao 😭🤣
Ayo Jake Matthews got the Brand of Sacrifice tattoo!?!?
Blood card. 💎💎💎.
Man Alex is really huge !!!
Wearing sunglasses for a face off is super weak😂
I don’t understand Bobby Greens rings. K-O-N-G but the K is on his index finger and the G is on his pinky. They’re flipped upside down as if it’s for him to read.
Matthews vs Flowers is the REAL main event!!!
Bro wtf Poatan is looking fucking massive !
Что за кард🔥
Alex look like a dinosaur
That one dude look like Andrew Tate's Lil brother
How the heck did Alex make 185? He looks bigger then Jan there’s no way Jan could make middleweight.
Tony is done 🤷🏻♂️ that what i think. He is somewhere outside again
If he doesn’t get a W this time we’ll probably see him take the gloves 🥊 off…
U realise he finally got a striker...get ready for a wrestle clinic by el cucuy 😎👊
Michael Chiesa was a lightweight. Kevin Holland was a middleweight. How the fuck did Chiesa ever make 155....jeez man...
Perera is huge ngl🫨🤣
THIS WAS COOL..............
*Makes sense that Wonderboy is confused what a BMF title is. Nice guy though.*
dsmn didn't know kopylov was that big
Sucks I had the wonder boy fight being fight of the night
Legendary Polish Power
Lets gooooooo
Gaethje will win.
Facts , looks like he put on more mass
Wonder was like he 3lbs over Fck no I ain’t fighting
Won’t see me… the fights are way too expensive nowadays
I was questioning if Alex will be big enough for LHW because his height might be deceiving but daym he is bigger than Jan. Whatever happens, its not because of size issues but i still think Jan will win... although i want Alex to win.
Michel should never be allowed to even attempt the 170 again
Hoping Jake Matthews wins 🤞
Fake Perry v Andrew Fake @ 1:05
Poor Tony idk why they’d make him lose like this.
CAŁA POLSKA ZA TOBĄ Jan Błachowicz !!!!! Powodzenia - Good Luck Jan Błachowicz Legendary Polish Power !!!!!😀🥊🤠💥🔥
Lets gooo
