the way he evaded that leg kick, he was like "bruh you serious?"
lol
3:05
andreas michailidis live in my town lmao , probably the best mma fighter in greece and alex made it look easy
@@anestis2162 lmao
@@anestis2162 why would you say this.
Cant wait to see Poatans bow and arrow ritual while Izzy is waiting for him in the cage 💀
For real 🥶
Gonna be mad colddd i cant wait
Jesus is the way
It’s about that time! Fight week baby!
Same here
I'll always remember how excited Joe Rogan was that they got Alex in the UFC he can talk all night about Alex's power and technique
I remember that too. I was so hyped when they announced he was signed to the UFC!
“He’s got the GREATEST left hook in THE HISTORY of human fighting! And UFC, which we will soon see! And his LEGS KICKS… I haven’t seen them yet, but THEY’RE ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUSLY DEVASTATING.” 🤨
THIS MAN FIGHTS LIKE A PITBULL ON AMPHETAMINES
Dana protected Alex from wrestlers, grapplers, and fighters that can mix the two.
Joe is smart
That is so crazy.. Alex debuted at Usman vs Colby 2. That was like yesterday, and now he's king of MW
@@hybrid.catastrophic.impact6071 shut up
fr, and on a four fight winning streak in ufc now
His left hook is genuinely insane, love the stone tat on the hand makes hella sense😂👊👊
His nickname "Poatan" means Stone hands. Cool as fuck
Those indigenous(inbred) genes are insane
@@Merlinthehappypig❤
Dude got protected by Dana because fighters like vittori, Whittaker, Cannonaire, and grappler would expose him
@@hybrid.catastrophic.impact6071 4 fights and became champion is craaaazy but yeah real grapplers might b a problem down the line
good things he won, he made the division more interesting
He was born to be Champion , he is naturally fighter
Can we just appreciate andreas for taking that fight. And also that Thomas Powell guy. I'm sure no one else wanted to fight him
Michalidis looks like the final form of Merab 😂
Petr yan final form of Hasbulla
@@gabriellekennedy7215 💀
lollllll straight up
@@gabriellekennedy7215no wonder why he lost to merab. He was fighting the final form of a professional fighter while yan is only a final form of a professional cat abuser 😂
Andreas Michailidis looks like a Greece Justin Gaethje
UFC got a star in their hands. Along with Izzy… insane bro.
He has shown a unique combination of power, speed and technique, which has enabled him to dominate his opponents and secure impressive victories.
And his chin as well. He’s never been knocked out.
Joe Rogan came multiple times when Pereira made his UFC debut
Ooooohhhh!!!! 😮
Bruh😂😂 hella times
Meh....
Alex is a terrifying man. Two division champ in two years with 11 MMA fights is literally unheard of
Big big fan of this guy, man I am hyped for Saturday
Alex "Poatan - hand of stone" Pereira, is Brazilian from Brazil. The best.
Buncha filthy animals
@@serpentinefire921 Your hatred is because you've already been beaten up by one of them.
@@claudio3442 there's no hatred. You seem bitter. Living in a mud hut can do that
Dana protected him. Alex would get destroyed by Bellator's Champ Johnny Eblen. Alex would lose to fighters like Johnny Eblen and Robert Whittaker. Ncaa wrestlers, jui jitsu experts and fighters that can mix the disciplines would body alex.
@@serpentinefire921 Man, you need God in your life. Go to my humble suggestion. You are bitter, you utter aggressive and offensive words. Stay at peace and live longer. It will be 4-0 easy for Brazil.
Best of the Figthing
humble roots connected to indigenous culture in the amazon and a fierce mindset
The Best
O índio guerreiro!
The champs entrance walk in w/ the (bow/arrow)is MY ALL TIME Favorite entrance walk in the ufc! He's going to be champion for a long time just stay FOCUSED AND HUMBLE DONT let the media get in ur head!! You'll lose focus and get cocky and lose the belt..look at Oliveira. Different class ik but the media changed him and he lost almost INSTANTLY
Champ 💪🏽
Insane bro
Here 2024 .. he is already legend … 🗿🏹
Lets go Alex
Il est trop beau
2:26 this is so sick
Alex pretending he didn’t join the UFC just to keep beating Izzy
His walk is the best. And this time he is going to shoot that arrow at izzy while izzy is waiting for him.
💪💪👊👊👊👊
SALAM PETARUNG INDONESIA🇲🇨🇲🇨💪
Alex vs izzy is like a real life street fighter or mortal kombat movie.
0:37 Love how Brazilians pronounce it "kicky boxshingee"
I don’t understand his left hook. It’s like the most casual thrown punches, but he sends people to the shadow realm. Look at how soft the punch was that layed israel flat. The definition of touch of death
It's weird. His hooks come straight from his hips, and that wide stance whips them into the opponent's faces. Vicious
"Stone Hands"
Alex wins again as he has grown and made the adjustments. Izzy will turn the fight into a bore and try and win on points. But Alex will keep marching forward. I see Alex defending the takedown to conserve is energy
🎉
At MSG
I could not wait to see this guy debut i knew one day he was gonna smash izzy then retain his title then lose it to an upcomer then retire
Alex is beating Izzy and moving up to light heavyweight to beat the Journeyman Jamahal Hill next.
Beat the dentures off his mentor so I'd like to see this one.
Say what's really on your mind bud.
Oracle has spoken. UFC 300
👊🏻🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
UFC 268 is the best card of all time
He only just got here because of the work I did.
Hayyy it's izzys father
Izzy's gonna wrestle in the rematch. His team saw how easily he controlled Pereira in the first fight, and they know that's the one place Poaton can't knock him out.
No he definitely won't be wrestling much
Usman dominated leon in the second fight. Look how that 3rd fight went🤷♂️🤷♂️
@@t-glock That proves my point. Leon's coaches saw that Usman couldn't keep him down, and adjusted their game plan. Pereira was dominated on the ground by Izzy, and both camps know it.
@@Last_Chance. Bet. Izzy a) attempts at least three take-downs, b) gets at least 3min of ground control. Unless someone gets KO'd first, of course.
@@waynzignordics chances are even if izzy rocks pereira hes not gonna have the power to finish thru and getr caugrht mid sequence.
He is a sniper
The day Greece cried.
always felt bad for michialidis. he either had to wrestle and have fans boo him or strike with alex and get koed
I have no problem with Alex he's a great champion. Not a needle mover, this is why athletes from other countries need to learn English like secret juice costa.
He need to work with his ground game ... Adesanya is fast
same knee move like Joel Romero.
3-0 Bout to be 4-0
Where does roman reigns fit into all this?
Poatan 4x0 🇧🇷🏆🇧🇷
the knee he landed would have killed a small horse
imagine whittaker taking out alex pereira wow
Who is behind Adesanya?
Jeff Molina
@@DeseanStrickland12307 🤣🤣🤣
Me. Izzy is going to make it look easy
Let's go champ, let's beat Israel one more time!
🏹4🗿
Adesanya by submision
Could be the one. His team should have a nice submission attack for him to use, because Alex was really vulnerable last time
Stop with sugar coating, wordplay and excuses. You just came to UFC to troll Adesanya.
🤑first

🗿
best in ufc ;DDDD thats a lie
I m first 😂
What a run to the top. Hand picked Being sure to Skip any one that mite take him down lol 😂😂
Michaelidis was a wrestler. Bruno Silva was a grappler. Only striker he fought was Sean Strickland.
@@krao95 I mean a top 5 or 10 real wrestler. Bruno doesn't wrestle he got knocked out by GM3. It was hand picked fights to get to Izzy. Can't blame the UFC it's not a tournament where the best fight the best. N like a dumbass Izzy called for the fight lol 🤣
Wittaker and Costa didn't have any hand picked fights, and they still lose to Adesanya while Poatan KOed him.
@@Ariel1Dominguez you jus proved my point exactly
@@tommygunnggg1127 Why did you ignore Karthik Rao's comment then?
Alex decided to go to the UFC just to hunt Izzy down to take another belt. This man is a killer.
@@beaualoevv Okay, incel.
How many times are you going to post this comment. Smdh. Once is enough.
@@Last_Chance. These clowns have an obsession with Israel. It's quite sad and embarrassing.
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.” John 3:16-18
pereira is a muslim
Minion balls
Amen
So will this fight be choreographed and scripted? Is the winner predetermined? This is all a joke now!
He wouldn't even be in the top 10 yet if it wasn't for izzy
Poatan 4x0 🇧🇷🏆🇧🇷
Gyno dickrider ROFL
He will get exposed eventually.
👋🏼😂
Nothing to expose. Everyone knows his weakness is grappling, like any other striker
@@serduncanthetall7056 Adesanya has beaten wrestlers and grapplers..and he’s a striker. Alex won’t survive against Vettori or Whittaker.
It won't be long.
@@mrspiff6955he won't survive against Izzy this time
bow and arrow entrance is soooo cringe
still can scare the shit out of you
@@demon4874 grown man firing an imaginary bow and arrow at me, yeah don’t think so
Glover's prodigy? U gotta be kidding me
Needs nice up a weight to easy
