Pereira must be the best asset that UFC has brought in recent years.
I agree since Jon Jones
still brings to mind the worst trade in UFC history to trade DJ for ben aksren lol
Edit: For all of you saying askren made Masvidal, Masvidal made Masvidal. Ben was supposed to come in and fight for the title but he couldnt even put a win streak in the ufc. Therefore he is a loser and a bad trade
@@KG-ii2yx DJ doesn't bring in money
@KG-ii2yx people keep saying that but it was a business move. As much as I love DJ he wasn't selling ppvs. Maybe they didn't market him correctly but he wasn't selling. Askren in his short stint did sell and also created a big star in Jorge Masvidal (at his expense) who became a big asset. I dont think it was not a bad business decision but this is my opinion because we do not have the hard data to argue either way.
@@KG-ii2yx wasn't a bad trade, askren promoted his fights better than DJ and jorge became a star off of knocking him out specifically. DJ was a better fighter, but Askren was a bigger draw by far at that point.
Ariel : “Alex how do you connect with the North American fans so well?”

The stone face and the whole thing with Alex was totally organic. Like everything that comes with this dude. He can't miss.
And can't find a guy who both earned it and deserves it more. Legend of a man.
If only fighters who are trying to get popular realize this, it has to be genuine not forced or it’s not real
Much prefer his attitude over the Conor Illia way. Skills pay the bills
@@therodenthitmanearned it? Gtfoh. The dude was insanely fast tracked to the title shot, with all extremely favorable matchups. Fans ingnorance is mind blowing.
@@jaseallenson316When you are the Greatest Kickboxer ever i guess you do deserve to be fast tracked. Of course you are not gonna be treated the same way as some amateur who is just starting his combat sports career + you have defeated the current champ 2 times when both of you were fighting in kickboxing. He was totally deserving to be fasttracked
For a man who can't speak English. He's one of if not the biggest star in the UFC and he's loved. Superstar.
You don't need English to be big lol

@@NRC613there are plenty of fighters who don’t speak English. None of them are Alex. Alex is original and unique given his story. He also didn’t create the stone face meme, the fans made it for him.
Some people just have it. They don't even speak a language we understand but they make thousands of fans just by being themselves. Go Alex.
Charles and Alex put on no fake show. Just themselves and everyone loves it
I agree, Alex definitely has it an I think Olivera does too!
Izzy made alex as far as ufc goes.. If it wasnt for izzy he wouldve never gotten fast tracked nor the favorable matchups. Prolly wouldnt even be in the ufc, cuz they wouldnt have offered him enough money for him to want to come.
@@jaseallenson316 The Izzy history certainly helped get eyes on him, but you have to give credit to Alex for winning. He got wins over Strickland and Jan, things Izzy failed to do. Alex has beaten 4 former champions now, 3 by stoppage. He was also a big kickboxing star in his own right being the first two division Glory champ, and came into the UFC on the same contract money that Izzy started on, $50k show/$50k win.
@@jaseallenson316 If It wasnt for Alex, Izzy might not haver gotten out of Glory to the UFC either. They made themselves, like countless other fighters and their rivals.
they must make a movie on Alex
Francis' movie first :D
@@JustChadding_ Yeah I like Francis and I would agree with this, Francis story is a bit more extreme but the Poatan movie should come out the Month after.
Absolutely
That would be a good movie documentary style but they should do a live action with actors an someone plays him working in the tire shop….maybe….
at least zip it up when you’re done
The interpreter needs to be paid fr, I don't speak Portuguese but not missing a beat for an hour is crazy work
Thats also his coach. Alex takes care of him 💯

He misses a lot man, the dude from UFC should do his translations after the fights, Fabiano is way better
@@CliffCaffaroIk that guy is cool
Alex is my favorite fighter currently. Ever since he beat Izzy he climbed to the top of my list. Double champ
You prefer him over Ilia?
@@KeyserSoze23Ilia isn’t as proven yet. Alex double champ.
@@KeyserSoze23Ilia only won because Volk did something stupid, not every one is bouncing back 4 months after a k.o loss. Now he got 2. As long as Alex doesn't Tony Ferguson himself. Then he beating Ilia forsure. Do nah Alex's resume is way better than Ilia's even with the losses.
Most fast tracked privileged fighter ever😂 ofc hes gonna get multiple titles
@@KeyserSoze23 yes. Ilia is probably top 5 for me. Maybe if Ilia defends the belt a couple times and continues to viciously KO people then he'll climb to my #1 spot
The fact that he would welcome Izzy to give him tips and help train tbh is most down right respectful thing a man can say. That takes a lot of maturity and u can tell he really does appreciate Izzy a lot. That’s pretty cool he showing love back to him when he doesn’t have to that’s really legendary
yeah honestly. pereira has clearly put the rivalry beside him but for whatever reason adesanya won’t let it go. not that i really think adesanya cares but if izzy put his ego aside and becomes friends/partners w alex a lot of people would like him more.
And izzy would spin it into "yea of course, I knocked his ass out, I'd want my help too" or some bs with his "I beat that guy once" mentality 🤦
@@kudosayala4943fax izzy would do sum princess shi like that he'd never be mad enough to put it aside realize alex is better and is willing to train with him
You see Izzy talking about Alex now, it’s a lot of respect
@@kudosayala4943 u obviously dont watch izzy interviews. He literally says he admires alex and gives him credit all the time. Stop inventing fake narratives so u can hate on izzy.
As a native Portuguese speaker, I have to say that the translator did a great job! Maintained the essence of practically all responses. This doesn't normally happen. Another fighter who speaks very well but a lot is lost in translation is Charles Oliveira
Oliveira speaks too fast and too much to get properly translated.
If he broke his answer in two to let the Translator do his job then it would be better
The translator is also one of his best friends and coaches
Plinio is sharp and fast. Impressive.
Yes, I don't speak Portuguese but translatorn always seems to on point and he's seems like a good friend to Alex. Love both of them 💪🙏
The translator seems like a Good Guy, not trying to steal any fame or headlight
Agreed he did a great job
they are friends a very long time, you can see him on his side during his "early" kickboxing too ! as a coach !
He is his coach as well
Dude is legend)He is super strong fighter and trainer. He have Strickland shirt for training tooXDD
The translator is his trainer and also a former heavyweigth kickboxing champion.
Alex is a terrifyingly nice man

Both of them do not need English they just have the charisma and the backstories that makes you root for them and they are so exciting to watch
Yup
Plinio and Alex are such a good and natural combo.
They are dynamic duo lol. They're both cool 😎
Literally a Izzy fan and this man turned me into a fan. What a legend.
Just saying that cause he want to train with Izzy now, Izzy always on this guys mind 🤣
he knocked him out 2 times and won 1 decision.
Sure he would like to train with high lvl strikers, to sharpen his skills and not because izzy is in his mind how you think

I love listening to Perriera bc he’s particularly easy to understand like 70%+ if you speak Spanish….its almost like a Portuguese lesson
Everyone who speaks Portugese says Alex is incredibly articulate and well spoken. That's probably why he's so easy for Spanish-speaking people to understand.
So true bro
@@jackbauer4186I'm Brazilian and he is not like incredibly well spoken. he speak the way you think a ex tire changer and MMA fighter would. But everytime hecgets interviewed he gets better and better at communicating... who knows he maybe even talk English in the future

👑Alex and Oliveira👑
facts most beloved fighterrs on the entire UFC roster
Brah Alex got to be nmy favourite fighter and IM AUSSIE.
He's stoic af. Sickest entrance shooting the bow to the octagon. his fighting style is a technical killer. And his merch is sick. And he has a sense of humour. He Dope
What does you being Australian have to do with him? Lmao
@@HeliodromusScorpio Anzac fans usually back Anzac fighters ie Izzy and Whittaker
@@HeliodromusScorpio what he said ^
Good summary
The dart game at the end was classic. Well done Ariel. How can anyone not like Poatan. He is such a likeable athlete.
Ariel not explaining the rules before is dirty work 😂
I love Ariel and his show but was totally cringing at how graceless he was during the darts. Childish and petty. It was toecurling. I'm in UK and love darts... and I love how Ariel embraces and champions the sport... but ffs, don't act like that in a game in an english pub if you don't want a black eye.
It's good to see someone natural and honest in the world we're living where everyone is a character trying to manipulate each other and become a celebrity,Alex is just there doing what he likes to do
How can anyone like Ariel tho
People love Poatan because he’s original and authentic. He’s unique.
He's not creating a persona to impress people, not forcing to become a celebrity, just a legit guy doing what he likes to do and saying what he thinks
@@gs-nq6mw basically izzys exact opposite.. Which is why I actually like Alex
He behaves like a true man
I'm so happy for Alex! Love from India 🇮🇳♥️
Love from brazil
Alex is such a legend of the sport. Dude is a freak of nature
I believe Pereira will be the first ufc fighter to win a belt in 3 different weight classes
He’s the most likely to do that, but Aspinall is huge, fast, and is a master on the ground. So it’s possible, but that’s a hard matchup for Alex.
Not as long as it's Jones as heavyweight
@@Fillegubben jones is fighting stipe and taking off fym
@@Fillegubbenall it takes it's a punch, brother. I'm not saying that Pereira would win, but you're acting as if Jones is untouchable.
Pereira is definitely better than Reyes and Thiago.
@@jayn6943 Anything can happen in MMA, I agree. Jones has never even been seriously rocked, and look at what happened on the ground in Alex vs Adesanya, or Alex vs Jan, that wouldn't end well for basically anyone versus Jones. Would be boring if the discussion just ended at "puncher's chance"
Alex is a natural born warrior, so authentic, real guy. Absolute example of dedication no messing around. Good man
🎙🗿 “Huh” -Alex Pereira
Only long interview I’ve ever listened to in full with a translator. Thanks ya’ll three!!! 🎉 🔥
Alex is sooooo likable. Such an infectious fighter & person.
Adesanya in some pub: I already beat that guy.
The fish dies by its mouth. Hehehehe
Hair Alex is a different beast I dig it well done warrior
he should rock a beard or a goatee w it
anything this guy does is a must watch...even tho he doesnt talk much, he just got that deadly aura
facts him and Charles Oliveira are by far the most beloved fighters on the roster and their backstories and their fights makes it impossible not to root for them. Alex Interview on Ariel already has a lot more views than the "superstar" Sean O Malley ones here lmaooo O Malllley willl never be a star he doesnt have the it factor 0 personality 0 charisma
Deadly aura. That was the definition i was search for to describe poatan. Deadly aura
If hill strikes with poatan.. its gonna be a 2 round fight..
Hill has a great chance there too tho
Hill has extremely good boxing and Pereira is open to the straight right hand so Hill does have a very good chance although I still favor Poatan due to his calf kicking ability combined with Jamahal potentially rushing back from an injury to the lower leg.
@@NoSc0pe78yearsago agree - he actually has a lot of power...definitely a sleeper fight, im not dissapointed at all
@@JoshuaSmith-no9mn as a die hard alex fan I can’t deny the right hand n Jamal style but Achilles injury regardless Alex leg kick the right spot fight over
I agree but hill is no joke on the feet either he’s got a clean 1 2 and that seems like pereira kryptonite
Look at the size of his hands & Knuckles 😭 dude is a beast
Yeah wow... seeing his hands in comparison to the coach 😳
@@nme_mmaJoe Rogan always tallked about the size of Alex hands its crazy lmao definitely helps wth his power aswell
Epic stare down with Jiri
The greatest ufc stare down
I just know Jamal Hill is seated somewhere with his purple lights watching this and pausing it over and over just to counter everyword alex is saying here😂😂😂
Not going to lie as an OG hill fan before he came champion, Jamahal is next level petty lmao, Hill is very knowledgable and intelligent about the fight game but he is sensitive asf. Bro is on the verge of insanity.
@@JT76912fr Jamahal sadly lost his mind I guess his injury was a big reason for that
Alex's eye contact must be a wild thing to experience
U must be an ice cream because the glaze is real
I honestly love Alex so much and so happy for him that he’s headlining 300!
Literally the best thing to happen to the ufc in the more recent years!
Alex’s career is so crazy when you step back and think about it it’s almost not real
Fr , being double champ in two sports is no joke
Love this guy!!! To come from a bar and challenge and even win a Championship shows the heart of this man! Alex is an inspiration to many people. Cheers fropm Canada!!!
Izzy was actually the first to say he looked like an Easter Island statue in an interview after the first MMA fight. He said he should be called 'head of stone' rather than 'stone hands' (='Poatan') because he was tough or something
Not only is Alex the ultimate badass and so cool for continually doing media. But this is the only the one and only fighter they can't speak English that I watch, completely because how good is translator is and how articulate, awesome interview Ariel
The quiet, calm, complete confidence of being a complete killing machine.
That's not where his confidence come from
New ufc 5 dlc legendary fighter: Poatan with hair
He will shave it before his next fight. I think it’s a preparation thing
@@seanmower3926he does it to raise his intimidation stat by 10%.
The 7th layer no less.
What I found a bit insulting, was so many "fans" were putting Alex vs Jamal down for headlining 300. Sure, Jamal hasn't fought in a long time due to injury, even if you don't like him.. You can't put so much hate towards Alex. He's had a very quick rise to 2 championships. I'm sure Dana tried to get other matches for 300 but they didn't work out. And this match was still available.
I'd rather see this instead of Leon vs Belal 2 for 300. Some people only see 1 side to an event. This card is fine. Sure they're could've been more additions but not everyone can make it. Looking forward to seeing Alex compete and defend his title. 💪
Plínio is getting better and better in translating Alex... In his early days translating Alex he used to miss somethings, but today I have to say he did an incredible job. His best performance so far, someone give the night bonus to the man
Alex is just so likable
His kickboxing is art
Excellent translation. Doesn’t make it about himself or answer for Alex. Makes sure what poatan says is translated in the same way he’s saying it. And translates Ariel in the same way.
I hope the UFC is paying this man well. He’s one of their biggest stars.
He just signed another 8 fight contracts. probably for like 8 millions LOL. Plus he can get PPV points as well as bonus
The first time I genuinely felt a decent amount of heartbreak after someone lost, especially a ko loss is when Gyno koed my guy alex here.
seamless translation, great work
I love how he really just wants to learn from fighters and teach them even after a intense rivalry
There’s a bunch of us Brits who get together and watch the fights on a Sunday evening (if you’re not from the US, you know how that goes!) and we all unanimously love Alex. He’s game. He’s warm, but stoic at the same time. I love how he trained with Strickland and cornered him. That’s incredibly cool.
sometimes I forget how good Ariel is at interviewing
some of his interviews get really stale and standard but some of them are just as good as it gets, which makes sense because the guy's been interviewing fighters for more than a decade now
Bro DOES NOT stop looking at Ariel LMAO
He's disgusted by him
He's such a phenomenal guy and I dont see any reason to unlike him in the future. 🤘
I love when he came out in his native gear. Dude is wwe but a real fighter. Pointing the bow. My guy knew how to get people hyped
Him wanting to fight at Heavyweight is so badass.
Really cool he came on the show and not just a video call . Poatan 🗿👊🏽is my favorite Fighter
Alex and Ngannou share the same reason why people are drawn to them and it's that they are real, they don't need to make noise to show how determined they are it screams through their energy and actions, this dude is more intelligent than the commentators give him, the way he fights is amazing
it’s mostly the language barrier tbh. a lot of non-american fighters have great personalities when they get to speak in their native language. topuria was asked in spanish about meditation and he responded with how a ship without a lighthouse will never find its way or something. but in english topuria just kinda sounds like a cocky loudmouth. these guys aren’t given credit mostly because they’re not really given the opportunity to showcase themselves and the way they think
Alex is a beast the best thing that happened to the ufc last 2 years
maybe even in the last 6-7 years
Alex is the most chill laid back murder iv ever seen 😂
Alex is the man!!! Great interview too, thanks Ariel
Poatan, brabo demais!
Best fighter and coolest human in UFC history.
Orders of magnitude above Steroid Jones.
How does anyone not love Alex. What an incredible Human. For one of the most brutal and deadly fighters he has an unbelievable amount of empathy. Would love to see his be the first Triple Champ. Fan for ever!
Ever since he let strickland train with him, hes become my fav 205'r
And judging by what he said here he would refuse to fight Strickland if UFC offered. Very old school. That's how it used to be in Brazil
@@jayn6943just class and after training with Sean Sean suddenly had the best striking defense in the UFC, first fight a TKO next fight he schooled Izzy lmao Sean even said that Alex showed him shitty his footwork was
Double champ in Glory, pulled himself out the gutter, then double champ in the UFC. Poatan my GOAT. Chama 🗿
Never seen Alex so fleshed out in the face. He's gotta be about 250 in this interview. He looks extremely healthy and hydrated.
Did you listen he weights exactly 235
He should move up to HW
104 kg

Win or lose Alex is one of my favorite fighters, he is authentic and that is the reason why people love him
Alex is a beast
When he asked alex about khalil "mmm nah" 🤣🤣
At first I was annoyed the UFC kept bringing fighters in an giving them a fast track to a title shot (first Chandler then Alex). But after he beat Izzy I became a big fan. Winning the light heavyweight belt has easily put him in my current top 5. Nobody can deny his fights are entertaining. I never would’ve thought that 2 Brazilians… Alex an Olivera, that don’t speak English (or very little) would be a couple of my favorite fighters. Their fights are always exciting no matter if they win or lose! An they are both the definition of bout it!! Love his loyalty to Strickland. An his translator doesn’t leave you feeling like he left so much out. That translator seems to be on point.
If he beats Hill, you may argue that he will become the second best LHW fighter of all time. He beat Jan, Jiri, and Hill all in the top 5.
I feel like his career will
Go like this.
He will beat hill and ank, by then Jon will be coming back, Jon will beat stipe, and give aspinal a shot. He will win and he won’t like being compared to Alex. And they will fight at HW. If Alex wins he will retire if he looses he will defend LHW once or twice more to show he’s not washed and then retire
@@seanmower3926that will definitely not happen. Jon said multiple times that he only wants to fight stipe and then retire. He has no interest in coming back to lhw or fighting smbdy else at HW.
Are we forgetting about DC?
@@seanmower3926you’re making fanfics

Been following him since his Glory Kickboxing days. He was immediately my favorite fighter when i saw him back then. Glad to see how far he's going.
ariel you should put time stamps for all your questions would be cool thanks!
I know man, I was looking for some time stamps so I could skip around an watch only what I cared to hear. I’m surprised a big channel like this doesn’t have them.
Ive seen the translator guy alot man hes the truth💪🏽
Can we all agree that the translator is kind of a star as well? Alex doesn't move a goddamn muscle during the entire interview yet it's somehow entertaining the entire time.
If he defends at 300 and 301 they cant argue he's the greatest combat sporte athlete
He already is when it comes to Combat Sports.
People are just reluctant when it comes to simply MMA
Alex represents a fighting spirit and Alex is like a blank slate for people to attribute their personalities
Damn so this basically confirms that dana didn’t have a main event for 300 and just moved the 301 main event to 300 lmao
Pretty much. Also, you could see how disappointed he was to not headline 301 in Brazil
