Tom is being humble. He knows he ragdolls Alex. The kickboxer is in no way prepared for high level HW wrestlers. Izzy took him down and held him there… 185lb Izzy….. lol let that sink in
@@stiffmeister1559 keep in mind that Tom will be entering the cage with a 30 lbs advantage over Poatan, so how long until Aspinall puts him on the ground?
I'm brazilian but, that is a very hard figth for Alex, if it was a kickboxing figth and with more time to gain wheigh he would probably win but, Tom is a elite grappler, younger and hevier than Alex. But anyway, that is the type of figth I expect in main event of UFC 300, because that would be epic to watch
I don't see Alex beating Tom, he's too big, took quick and too strong. They'll have at least a +20 lbs size difference between if they entered the cage.
@@whartonarseino8849 but Alex striking is much better. If Alex keep a safe distance and choose his shots wisely he has a chance if he doesn’t get taken to the ground. We haven’t seen much of Tom’s overall skill. I think it’s 60 Tom and 40% Alex.
@@hue9962 Alex striking is better than Aspinall's but not by as much as it's advertised, and as for Tom's chin we saw him take a flush left hook by Pavlovich
Alex landed over 70 significant strikes on Jiri and barely won a split decision. Tom is a very disciplined fighter with tight defence, he’s not going to leave his chin out
Another fight that i can't see Pereira winning, but so far has proved me wrong. It really looks impossible but at the same time he is always only a left hook away from a victory
The size difference isn't as big as that. Alex cuts an absurd amount of weight to get to the 180s but his actual walking weight is in the 230s. Still over 20 lbs of difference but probably doable.
Pereira is only getting started and he's got more tricks under his sleeve and unlike Adesanya he's keeping himself busy. Thèse heavyweights better watch out !
@@gregoryconcessio4733Hill is an idiot that played right into Alex’s strengths, and is also a lot smaller than Aspinal. I thought that Alex would KO Hill (I didn’t expect him to do it as fast as he did), and I still don’t see him beating Tom.
I mean anything can happen in this sport. I see Pereira having an advantange due to no weight cutting, but at the same time he would be 10+ kilos ligther than Tom who is an absolute unit
@@ilikelampshades6 That's true however I believe both men can knock each other out. Pereira having power to his advantage obviously, but relying more on his precision, timing and overall striking skills to land the power punch while staying defensively aware and Aspinall on the other hand having his raw power and size over pereira would have to pressure properly and initiate grappling. We haven't seen Alex engage in grappling for long periods, we know he has improved and can grapple good enough to get out of positions, get up and keep it standing, besides training with Glover has to be good for his technique and knowledge overall
@@felipecastro908 True. Any large man can knock out anyone with a well placed strike. I see Tom shooting right away and tapping Alex out within a few minutes
@@bloopjohnsonpereira struggled against Jan got knocked out cold by a middleweight and you got a lucky title shot for 205. He’s not on the level people think.
In Alex mind he can defeat any living person in hand to hand combat. That mentality is what made him a 4x world champion in two different sports
Which word?

Boom this aged well. Pereira wants to move up to heavyweight. LETS GO 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yeasssir. I need to see this fight
Aspinall kills him
@@user-qy8dr3rs5w it will be close as long as it stays on the feet, which is quite unlikely
@@straightlusacyeah, Tom isn’t an idiot controlled by ego like Hill is, I see him taking it to the ground and getting the sub.

Tom read the situation right… Alex definitely thinks he can beat him, talking about moving up to heavyweight.. lol you gotta love Poatan🗿
I wanna see it
Perreira just has that fighting spirit, that’s all it is :)
Facts
Alex is a straight G and his carreer is legendary but Tom mangles him on the ground
Yep, Alex is an elite striker but on the ground he’s essentially a novice
@@joshf-w9602 if he works on his take down defence he gonna be fine
@@stiffmeister1559 you could literally say the same thing about every single striker yet most of the time they still get taken down

will finish in 1 min 😂
Here after UFC 300..
Still relevant!
Here after 6 years.
Casual.
@@user-qy8dr3rs5w W
IDK about that Tom's too big, too good at grappling and he also seems faster to the eye than Alex.
Also probably has more one shot power.
Size and grappling could be an issue
@@joshf-w9602 and also a better chin (IMO) so when we add things up it's not looking too good For Poatan.
This man has had like what six fights in the heavyweight division in UFC and it's going up against the parades
Them guys hard
I wouldn’t want the smoke
@@CotyDankh that’s a FACT. We wouldn’t see tomorrow 😂
Try finding a guy out of Cleveland and see how well that works for you as well
Aura
For sure
“As I said I’ve never turned a fight down in my life, sooo fuck.”

This fight will be insane! Hope Dana makes it happen!!! The fan wins if it happens!

Honestly i think Alex does an insane cut, this would be a good fight for Poatan, similar size and reach weights a lil off, both like to strike
Aspinall will murder pereira that’s only if ankalaev doesn’t first
50/50 whoever lands on the chin 1st wins lol
Alex landed over 70 significant strikes on Jiri and barely won a split decision. Tom is a very disciplined fighter with tight defence, he’s not going to leave his chin out

Split decision???
@@Get-closer-to-GOD I meant Jan not Jiri
@@joshf-w9602 bruh you can edit your comment
Wow the laziness 😂
Ngl Tom seems a bit nervous but he is a beast in that octagon
It’s 2024 and people still think athletes don’t get nervous 🤦🏻♂️
Don't mistake kindness for weakness
Agreed. He hits a switch for sure
Another fight that i can't see Pereira winning, but so far has proved me wrong. It really looks impossible but at the same time he is always only a left hook away from a victory
He keeps proving everyone wrong. Dude is built different
Peirera is Cat zodiac Aspinal is rooster they are enemy signs
Ahhhh shit. Now it’s gotta happen
Pereira is rabbit in zodiac sign.
Respect to Tom as a fighter but I don’t see him beating Alex, Jones or even Stipe
Don’t sleep on tommy!
Both are elite strikers.
One is also an elite grappler, weighs about 30kg more, is faster, younger, has a better chin.
Cannot see Alex winning this

@bernardjameswilson Fair, but Tom's is probably 270ish. The guys huge
@@ilikelampshades6 nah he doesn't really cut weight he fights as is. They're probably pretty close when it comes to just lean mass.
I think Tom is a rightful favorite but wouldn’t count out alex
Here after ufc 300 I would like to see Alex fight at heavyweight and see how he fights at that weight class
Pereira is only getting started and he's got more tricks under his sleeve and unlike Adesanya he's keeping himself busy. Thèse heavyweights better watch out !
I agree. But tom is a tough matchup for anyone

Tom would eat him alive....no doubt about that 😮
I would pick Tom but can’t count Alex out
If they fight this is going in an edit
Can’t wait
As much as a like pereira idk if he wins this
No chance
