#UFC #UFC291
It's been a minute since i made it on an embedded!! Can't wait for this weekend & thank y'all for all the love and support 🙏
Get ‘em goat
You will knock him out bro
Your fight is gonna be fight of the night
Can't wait to see you fight man
You’re the man!
Poatan looking absolutely terrifying ahead of his 205 debut
He definitely looks more comfortable not having to cut 20 extra lbs.
Just worrie Jan will lay and pray
He looks like an undertaker
@@TheArsenalMan125 Jan has crazy power as well.. don't be shocked if he knocks Alex out.. Alex's chin can be cracked
You know who else was more terrifying, Ankalaev.
alex hitting the pads sounds genuinely like a rifle, insane power
the power and durability damn near went up by 30% at 205 for poatan, i hope jan is ready to take bricks to his chin for 3 rounds, cause his chin will be tested 😂
had me questioning if UFC did something to turn up the volume on Pereiras shots 😂😂
@@yoaregey7296 They did because he doesnt hit anywhere as hard as me and my shots dont sound like that.
@@onlybetasgetoffendedbystri8030let’s see you in the octagon then
@@yoaregey7296 Pereira power is terrifying, but the sound of hitting the pads depends a lot on acoustics. In the right room with the right equipment, you can have an amateur kickboxer strikes sounds like gunshots
Alex hitting pads had me ducking thinking rounds were being fired from a magnum 😂
😂😂
Haha bro I thought the same thing. Sounds like the snap from a gun. Crazy power man.
& Izzy knocked him out!
swear lmaooo i was like gahhhh damn
@@paulmalapit4240 and he kod izzy twice whats your point, why bring that up Lol
Fun fact: Trevor wittman is gonna be smiling like a mad man throughout the whole fight
And when Justin gets (T)ko'd he'll even hug Dustin and compliment him 😂
@@Flipmodusoperandilike woodley's mom
@@FlipmodusoperandiJustin is winning buddy
Bro was smiling like Leon Edwards was his fighter and not Usman 😅 true fan of the sport
especially poatan vs jan fight 😂
Seeing Embedded on a Monday you know its going to be a good week.
Unless it’s a card like 289’s embedded 🤣
@@lethweiblackbeltonly Charles was valid. Benny kinda
@@lethweiblackbelt 289 crawled so 291 could walk
Alex Pereira’s speed on the pads is always levels above any other fighter I see footage of
i hope jan is ready to take bricks to his chin for 3 rounds, cause his chin will be tested 😂
@@draco2xx How many times will you repeat this? Pereira is the one with a weak chin that got knocked out by a middleweight. Jan outboxed as a LW middleweight Izzy dont forget that.🤫
@@draco2xx Also Alex dont wanna get a liver kick from Jan. That shit is brutal
@@kamiun6279bro Alex cut 40lbs of water 😂 I’m not even an Alex fan but cutting that Much weight destroys your chin. I cut 20lbs and my chin was Weaker. I didn’t get knocked out but the punches actually rattled me. I couldn’t even imagine a 40lb cut 😧
@@kamiun6279weight cutting has a major effect on how much damage they can take.
Alex’s power and speed looks effing insane. Hopefully that cardio matches it
You seen his "cardio" in the first (UFC) Gynosanya fight didnt you ?
Holy shit! Pereira vs Blachowicz is going to be THE fucking fight. Clash of two powerful monsters
Godzilla vs Kong
"Heh eh legendary polish power"
Both of them will be as big or Bigger than Usyk & Wilder at the opening bell, thats a full sized HW boxer, they're bigger than prime Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Larry Holmes, George Forman, Ali & Frazier. BIG men.
Poatans power at the end of this video is absolutely insane.. But let’s see if Jan can get the fight to the ground. Because we know that’s where he wants it. He might catch a knee trying to take it there. Better go body lock. Edit: thank you all for almost 1k likes that’s insane 🫶🏻
He been practicing wit glover his bjj so we got a fight on our hands
@@nlmbduck1565it takes years to develop good grappling. Hopefully his takedown defense holds up or it'll be just like the izzy/jan fight
@@Theirishcannoli no point in grappling, all he needs to do is stand back up and take the fight to his territory
@@TheirishcannoliAlex is bigger and stronger than Izzy who was undersized for LHW.
Jan can beat Alex in the striking, and he will
First time ever seeing Alex smile a few days before a fight. He knows this WC is not no where near as bad , that was hands down one of the biggest MW I have ever seen. So glad he went up
Stephen, Justin, and Dustin on the same card. How can you not love this card with a SMILE.. VAMOS!!!
Sounds like a small group of 1st graders.
This is gonna be an absolute banger of a card. Kudos to the match makers. Sad someone has to lose in the main & co. Hope the best man wins and FOTN and POTN come their way.
Unexpected bonus of Thompson shooting guns 🤠
Gaethje is gonna retire after saturday night which sucks Pereira is gonna get fraud checked
@@fanofmma100 ???!!! Let the fight actually begin, first
@@Chino56751Gaethje stands no chance, he barely beat Fiziev in a split decision, and would've lost that fight if he didnt eye poke Rafa. Poirier is much better than Fiziev, he will knock Gaethje out cold Tony Ferguson is gonna beat Bobby Green too
@@fanofmma100 Gaethje hammered Fiezev and won desicley. Where these things are coming from, God knows, but they're the peak of casual
Now that he isnt cutting like 40lbs Alex really seems to have some extra energy and speed
yep, the power and durability damn near went up by 20% at 205 for poatan, i hope jan is ready to take bricks to his chin for 3 rounds, cause his chin will be tested 😂
Okay, everyone's mentioning Dustin, Justin, Poatan, Jan, Tony etc. But I wanna say that I found the whole mountain run that ended with a natural ice bath so wholesome. Michel is a great guy, and I love those soldiers running with him. (Please correct me if referring to them as soldiers is the wrong term.)
You are right, those are soldiers
@@josieandy5874 Thanks. I once called Marines soldiers. Got a lot of sh.. for it in the comments ;-) Greetings from Germany.
@@laertesddIf they are giving you shit they are children. Soldiers is a universal word for a fighting man.
Ignore those fools. Marines are just a distinctive type of soldier, but these guys are just your standard US Army soldiers. I would know since my dad is one.
@@priley817str8up...thats some truth right there.
It's hard to put into words how skilled and experienced Poirier really is. Without a doubt UFC hall of fame. Legend.
The most complete striker in the UFC right now.
Same with Gaethje. And like 5 other guys at 155. We are in the golden years for this division in terms of skill, experience, and personality. We’ll only truly realize this once they’re all retired
Yet he has never won a belt despite how many opportunities. Got knocked out by Michael Johnson and lost to Korean Zombie. Lol I can probably even beat him up just based on my size alone. I'm 5'8" 320 pounds so none of that jiu jitsu stuff would work on me
@@sandman62100 Lol, you'd just sit on him, right?
@@sandman62100😂
BRUV!!! Poatan looking fucking jacked and so much powerful that's scary man lmao
weight bully Pereiras power wont translate as well against guys his own size at 205
@@fanofmma100you didn't wat h him in glory at lhw then did you 😂
@@mrpk646these guys just wanna say whatever lmao. Poatans a monster
I'm smaller than him but I see red when someone disrespectful and I just boom, dont make me angry is the story
@@CEOofSleep😂
When Alex hits pads it sounds like gun shots
@@Brett_Bond 205 is a division anyone can get knocked out in, even volk.
@@Brett_Bond one punch volk will sleep for a verry long time
Similar sounds to what I do to my gf
@@yendevus1747You're doing that hard ? 😅
@@yendevus1747Okay Jon Jones but focus on your fight against miocic
So freaking excited to see this fight! With Glover in his corner Alex is going to be DANGEROUS in this new division! But NEVER underestimate Jan... DAMN! I CAN'T WAIT! THIS CARD IS STACKED!
Jan has lost the power of the stolen soul hes carrying around
@@foookboiDatMan what does that mean
@@foookboiDatManpolish power
@@GMPro24Legendary Polish power weighs heavy on the soul of that who is blessed with it
@@foookboiDatManidk he looked good against Ankalaev and Rakic
Such an adrenaline rush to see everyone train hard, literally motivates me to go on an extreme training camp and fight someone
your on the dust
@@omagawdwataf455Nah you're just unathlethic.
@@omagawdwataf455 nice guess I'm on Dustin Poirier's side lol
Fr dude mma is such a good sport
Whoaw pump the brakes, pump the brakes champ. We dont want you getting injured
That last combo from Alex was violent!
5:28 This was so inspiring, running on the mountain way better than hard work in the gym, this was like you training and enjoying the nature at the same time
for some, that is training. for Jiri Prochazka, that is a vacation haha
So much better that he didn't make weight. No honor in missing weight my friend.
Alex was brutally ko'd 3.5 months ago. I know he's moving up in weight but I hope it's enough time to recover.
I feel Alex has rushed back into a dangerous fight, reminds me of Bisping vs Gastelum after GSP slept him weeks earlier
Brutally? Miocic was brutally ko'd, Usman was brutally ko'd. Pereira was ko'd indeed but it wasn't to the point where he would suffer major consequences.
@@barathrum3107a KO is a KO, it was a pretty bad one
@@barathrum3107 and what happened to those you mentioned? they didn't just come back in 3 months and got a victory, for Miocic it's almost two years since that ko and he's still not returned, and usman didn't look that good against leon, he was too scared of that happening again.
guys guys.. poatan is a savage, he's feeling good and he's gonna KO jan
Wow, it's been 5 years since Dustin v Justin. I'll say the same as I did then. I am a fan of both of these two, I hope they get fight of the night and put on a show.
One of the last fights with both fighters still in or around their fighting prime. A little sad but almost guaranteed FOTY so there's that.
I love watching Michel Pereira he always knows how to put on a show. He's gotta stay sharp in front of Wonderboy though, those kicks are precise and powerful. Cant wait!
"Só não dou risada, mas estou feliz" - Poatan Chorei tanto de rir quando ele disse isso ahahahah 🤣
😂😂
How is that funny
@@Fisch337 probably in portoguse it is
It was a good line but not that funny.
With Alex’s reach, I think that’s gonna get him the win. He’s healthy at THIS weight class. He’ll be able to withstand the polish power . I’ve changed myprediction
@Brett_Bond he definitely will learn from his mistake and won't be too opened if he gets Jan on his heels
It's not his weight class, and it will show in the wrestling
@@Brett_Bond dehydrated brain gets knocked out far more easy. maybe i am wrong, but being closer to natural weight at 36 years old is neccessary, cutting too many pounds is harder as long as you age
forsure hes healthy and stronger than middleweight. but 3 rounds doesnt give him alot of time to land a clean shot for both of them really lets hope glover has taught him a thing or 2 for the key to success. glover claims hes strong which means he has a hard time keeping him down, and glover layed on jan and beat him. hard to say but my moneys on jan strictly from expierence
jan will be surprised how strong pereira is and his takedown defense, im sensing tko win for pereira
Camera man putting in the work running with equipment at 10k feet altitude. GOAT!
No title fights for this one but I'm still just as pumped. STACKED CARD !
these kinda fights kill title fights where most of the time its OVERLY technical
@@lordhandsomeswag1854 justin is gonna get that sweet double CTE
Blaczowicz Pereira is a title fight
@@yendevus1747 no it isnt
@@donsly375isn't that belt vacant?
Gaetjhe AND Poirier ? On the same card ?! Against each other ??!! We are gifted. Thank you, God
That last Alex workout is called "murder" out in the streets
That speed/power right at the end from alex was naaaaasty! Cards looking epic can't frikin wait!!! 🎉
Yes, yes, yes and yes! I get all excited when the embedded episodes come out!👊👊👊
Alex looks like he can punch through a brick wall. That weight cut was just too much for him, he looks healthy and powerful.
Totally he is seriously badass
Nobody makes hitting pads more terrifying than Poatan lmao
Alex's speed and power at 205 is SCARY
Those last combos poatan threw were ridiculously powerful
Michel training with the Army was awesome and wholesome asf!🥺
Vamos Poatan Pereira! Vamos Michel Pereira! Saludos desde CHILE🇧🇷👍🇨🇱.
Life is simple... I see Alex pereira embedded series vlog i like 👍
CAN'T WAIT FOR THE MAIN EVENT IT IS A TRUE CLASH OF BMFs 🔥🔥🔥
Eddie Bumarez is running from the Gaethje rematch! he knows Justin GOAThje would smoke him if they fought again
im more interested with the co main, we already have an idea how the gaethje vs dustin will go since they've fought before
This is a banger of a card for my 1st UFC event. Can't wait.
Wow so much envy enjoy it dude
Going to be such a good card! This embedded was fire too!
As a die hard Tony fan, its painful to see Tony fight on the undercard of Gaethje-Poirier 😔
Hes still the BOAT in my book
Tony is gonna beat Bobby Green, he's only been losing to killers, whereas Bobby was getting pieced up by the guy who lost to Paddy Pimblett in his last fight
😂😂
But he's not fighting in the undercard.
So sad man
Alex is in such hifh spirit not having to cut that much weight
This was an INCREDIBLE episode. Everyone is so inspiring and down to earth
God damn. What an amazing card this is. Who needs a title fight when you've got these warriors ready to go?!
Facts 💯
Alex just saying “ahhh” like 100 times was pure gold. That guy is great😂
😂 and pounding Glover with hammer fists🤣
Card of the year right here folks! IT’S FIGHT WEEK 🔥🔥🔥
Definitely might be best PPV of the year so far !!!!!!!!
Alex is about to be get the record of two division champ status faster than anybody in the ufc ! BORAAA!! 🇧🇷
When you have Derrick Lewis fighting in the prelims... You know you have a stacked card. So many good ass fights on Saturday.
Paulo Costa as usual ducked again and cancelled his fight. This year Dana booked him against Rob, then Ikram for this card and now Khamzat for Abu Dhabi and still unsure of the twitter costa to actually fight.
@@Brett_Bond He is about to smesh Kumshot
@@yendevus1747 He couldn't even smash No Chin Retired Rockhold
What happened hahaha your gourmet brazilian costa ran away again 🤣😂😂@@yendevus1747
So pumped for this card. The best of the best are fighting.
Haven’t been so hyped for a UFC since years and years
Love seeing the friendship between Glover and Alex. true brotherhood!
So cool to see Michel training with the Army.
Such a good episode 👏
Gaethje man. what a site of violence 🔥
It's so cool seeing fighters I love in places 30 minutes away from where I live
This card is going to be great! Wonderboy vs Pereira could be a sleeper fight of the night! Pulling for the hometown guy and Lafayette’s own Dustin Poirier of course 🚀
I got Dustin winning the BMF belt and Stephen Thompson winning the NMF belt! Let's go!
dustin gonna gas at altitude, but i hope youre right
🤡
NMF?
@@kichanbbgun nicest mfer, I think Ariel gave it to him, can’t remember doe

So many good fighters on this card, best of the year until now 🙏🙏
Finally! I was waiting so long for this
That left hook to the body from poatan👊
Damn Glover Aged quickly after retirement
Welcome to SLC again UFC. Always appreciate the fights.
This was an all around great embedded episode from start to finish. So fuckin excited for this card of absolute DOGS
Holy fuck Pereira is at full power now. Those shots sound crazy! Is gonna be a great card.
I've waited sooooo long for this vlog lol, finally baby.
The embedded crew are improving their performance
Feels like best event in 2023🎉
Dam, Pereira's power is downright scary. Think Blachowicz is in trouble. And lets go Gaethje!
This is a big one boy what a time to be alive bmf
OH MAN I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS
This card is stacked! Lets go! 💪
A year from now we will be looking back on this fight. Hopefully it turns out to be a great one.
If not, sprinkle some salt in SLC
On all the fights of this card. Freaking insane
Gonna be a great card! I'm so happy that Alex is grappling, now he has a bigger chance.
Embedded time! UFC 291 is going to be amazing! So many incredible matches, Dustin Poirier Vs Justin Gaethje 2 will be a war and super excited for Alex Pereira Vs Jan 👏👏👏 Seeing Wonderboy on embedded was a treat, such a chill guy 😊
I don't want Dustin or Justin to lose, legends, how can you root against either of them...
I'd love to see Tony Ferguson get a much needed win!
Gotta love the Alex Perriera activity
Glad to see Thiago Alves doing well after retiring. Legend!
09:04 Alex power is just insane
Alex hits like we are in a movie, making unusual sounds
Seeing Alex hitting pads is such an spectacle
I was always amazed with Glover is training Alex. Its such a good partnership.
Thanks for the video, UFC-ULTIMATE FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIP

So awesome this card is on my birthday. Then afterwards it's Sean O'malley's title shot match. I'm so hyped!
everytime jan has fought since the belt 'i know this feeling and i want this feelibg again'
Glover and Alex friendship makes me smile
Hope justin gets the job done this time 👀 one of true bmf
