@universalpowder1682 I understand why you say that, but people(fighters), age differently that needs to be considered in that statement, and with that taken into consideration then he might be in his prime right now we just don't know for sure. Also that cough at the end capped it all off. Yep sick with a respiratory issue, and the fog of two separate 5 day antibiotics while on camp, and then leading all the way up to the fight. I hate to see him taking too many chances. He isn't young, and he is like an ox, but I'd hate to see a cold, or a minor issue become much worse because he doesn't put his health first always. This exact statement can be seen in his lack of defensive posture in many positions, and in general he just always seems to be more conserved with his offense, and a clear lack of respect for the other fighter's ability to do real damage, or potentially stun him into a barrage of different assaults to seal the deal. Only IA caught him, and that's made it 3-1 so... I'd say his chin is ok, but everything else is doing really well.
Gotta beat the best to make those claims. No one he’s fought has good wrestling, mediocre at best. Everyone brought the same low iq game plan to strike with him. Plus he got slept by the pillow hands of adesanya. Great striker but has holes in his game, I guess it’s up to the UFC if they want to keep hyping him up with fighters thar want to kickbox a world champion kickboxer.
I agree, poatan just said if it was up to him he'd fight in december lol. Hes so awesome haha. I hope he gets to headline a brazil ppv, thats what he deserves
I hope they let Alex rest because he was literally coughing during rounds & here you can see he is still not 100%..Chama is an amazing champion! But Alex the man needs to rest he defended his title enough 💪🏾👏🏾best PFP!
Apparently he had a big flu where he was super sick when he landed in the US for a few weeks But yea dude is a beast, dealt with a broken toe and a damaged rib during his camp apparently as well and still won the fight dominantly
I love how you separate Chama and Alex, it's like Spider-man and Peter Parker. 😅 Alex is hero though saving Dana's ass for short notice fights. The guy is the face of the sports right now 😁
What exactly is a break for Alex though.. he's no spring chicken and he's still destroying the top fighters. Ultimately it's up to him. I get what you're saying though.
@@wst9659 agreed he is a beast for stepping up, he is almost super human, but still human, can’t keep peak peak performance without time out, your body will eventually PUT u out for your own good
I think he’ll probably wait to fight again till next year, he hasn’t really taken much damage in these last 3 or 4 fights, at least not in the fights themselves, I wouldn’t be surprised if he wanted to fight in December tho, seems like he likes staying active.
That's a weird point to make, especially considering Topuria not only has a defense scheduled, but he's fighting a very scary opponent instead of trying to hand pick an easy first defense (like O'Malley did when he fought Chito).
@@slicingonions4398 Dude literally said he doesn't have to. However, anyone with a brain knows that learning English is an extremely smart move to increase popularity and likeability for casuals. Not that Alex even needs that. He's already arguably the most popular and liked fighter in the entire UFC.
Alex is proof that intelligent training will take you places that talent can’t reach. The man is gifted of course but him being 36 and still improving while achieving what he has across multiple sports/promotions is nothing short of spectacular
That cough called it off. Definitely sick. I wasn't sure if his voice was just cashed from yelling, or because he was sick. I've never heard him lose his voice after a fight, but maybe the altitude made things worse also. Either way he was sick, and on antibiotics. Coughing between rounds, and that one body shot stopped him super quick. That doesn't really happen, but he showed he was not 100% so that's perhaps the reason. AP is a beast no disputing it he always heralds the call, and fights hurt all the time. Like practically every fight. Such a strong will, and fighter's heart Poatan is PFP best in the world currently. Keep on doing you A"P"P....CHAMA!
He fought more then most champs not once a year not once every solar eclipse he is making a legacy faster then most these days how can anyone deny this man and he found fights the best right away
I recommend you guys use AI to put on english captions while Alex is speaking to make these shorts. This post fight translator wasn’t good and missed a lotta interesting points.
@@ChillPill365For exemple in the question in this video, Alex responds: “I don’t know which one you are talking about, I think it was something spinning, I don’t remember it. I have to watch the fight” Cause the translator forgot to mention in the question the clear quote “you threw a head kick, he dodged it and hit you”. Or when he was talking about Sean Strickland… Anyways, maybe you don’t speak portuguese or you didn’t watch the interview.
@@Yinyankstank The most impressive thing about Fabiano is his memory. He’s very accurate. But even Plinio, Alex’s coach, translates better than this last guy.
I used to dislike Alex but the more ive watched the more ive come to respect him especially after he literally disposed of Jiri like a dead body twice, guy is insanely powerful and has an insatiable hunger for more
I'll say it again, if this dude beats Ankalaev- Jones can wave goodbye to his goat status. He's way more active than Jon's ever been and with what he's achieved in such a short time-frame it's absolutely insane. He fights Ankalaev and finally moves up to HW to go against Aspinall for his final fight. Imo this is the only thing that will revive the ufc to it's former glory.
This guy is a real Champ he did so many title defenses in such a short time, while some "Champions" don't even fight once in 3 years. This guy is a Beast. He needs to rest and have a good break! CHAMA
These fools please stop telling him to change weight classes he’s 39 and in the perfect weight class for him right now. He needs to fight a wrestler next and there’s one that’s #1 contender
Anyone that says “he’s passed his prime”. Consider that Yoel Romero is almost, and up until recently, still performing at the highest level. The longevity of fighters can’t be compared the same way. Also consider hockey players for example. These guys take grueling hits and injuries year after year, and some play until they’re almost 50 too.
I gotta be real, Alex is up there with the greats in my opinion. On top of his accomplishments in a short period the dude has stepped in to save and/or amplify some CARDS!
This guy is Adesonya erra from kick box journey ! Thats how good that time was , it brought us two great Champions into Adessonya now Alex , l think UFC gotta get into kick box league too ..
I think he needed to be active and opportunistic so he could become a big star in UFC. But now that he is a certified Star in UFC, maybe he should pace himself a little bit. But then again his prime clock is also ticking. But no matter win or loss, I will forever support this guy.
So many people hating on this man but he's the most exciting fighter right now and my personal favorite at the moment. Hopefully, he'll win a few more and not lose before he retires.
He doesn’t sleep he waits! Like chuck norris this dude is a living legend!.. Jon Jones is a beast but this guy is a real problem for anyone!.. his power, speed and fight IQ for his weight class is insane!…
For my gringo friends, what alex said is "people got worried because they were used to seeing me with a clean face after the fight, so they didnt expect to see me get hurt, but it was just normal fight things"
I told people Roundtree looked confident during the faceoffs. In the end I still knew he would lose. But he did put up a good fight for the most part. Even with that beating he can keep his head up!
It just goes to show how good Alex is, this is worst amount of damage he has took in his mma career, also props to Rountree for standing and banging like he said!
MMA everyone gets hit no matter how good you are. The point is not to get hit alot! Alex is very good at not getting hit and hitting them 💪 with everything he's got. Alex is one of the very best in the cage nowadays 😜👍💯
4 fights in the last 11 months with 1 of them being when he won the LHW belt followed by 3 title defenses. Guy is a beast
Damn that must have been a brutal cut
Pereira at LW would be literal manslaughter
And hes past his prime also!

IZZY "I beat that guy 1 time"
9 fights is in 4 years, two different weight class champion, will go down as one of the best
Shi it hasn’t even been a full 3 years
He's had 10 fights in less than 3yrs and has fought 4 times in the last 11 months
Lol hes been put away embarrassingly. Nowhere near the best

Future UFC Hall of Famer. No question about it. Amazing human being.
That's for Sure CHAMA
Amazing fighter yeah
Pretty sure he's already earned a spot. Now we wait to see if he earns goat status
Current. No one has done it like him
Absolutely. I would have said NO WAY until his latest run, but absolutely.
How can you not like this guy, an absolute beast in the cage or ring and a total gentlemen outside of it.
You know what UFC community I think Alex deserves a nice rest with his family let him enjoy Christmas, new years etc. We can see him in February.
he's from brazil, dana gotta let him enjoy the holidays + carnaval too
Yeah he is fighting like every 4months, while some "Champions" fight once in 3 years

Heal from what? Yes rest for his muscles and recovery but dude hasn’t even taken a beating in years
Was he not healed fully in this fight?
🤔
Dude needs a break from fighting for his health. Isn't he about to be 38 as well? What an amazing addition he has become to the UFC
He'll prob take a couple more fights to solidify his status and ride off into the sunset. Maybe he'll do what Glover did and train a future champ
He hasn’t took much damage in his last 5 fight so he’s able to fight back to back like this
Absolute fucking beast bro. Guy is a monster
@@AzrealJ You make a good point, but also consider the immense toll training for these fights can take.

The man looks sick as hell as well 😅 still waited and pounced like animal what a legend
He was sick!!!cant believe It...fucking machine!!!yama❤🎉
Alex looks like he’s sick
Yeah he came unto the fight with a throat infection and injured rib apparently
The last 2 days his team has been saying hes been really sick and having to take antibiotics
I was concerned when he was coughing and he blew his nose, absolute savage, both warriors
He was I heard him trying to clear the mucus from his throat in between rds

Nah that was a proper knockdown, perfectly timed shot from Khalil. Give credit where it’s due
It's funny Alex missed the headkick because Khalil is too short, and Khalil missed a trip because Alex was too long. 😂😂😂
Bro looks sick and he still fought
Spoken like a true champion💯🙏👍👊
Dude at the end even coughed in "Chama" Mode😂 Dude is Hardboiled
he's right it's fighting the opponents are just as tough and hungry
Never fight a guy with that big of a head
And look at his jaw 😂
Strong af
I gave up all hope when I saw his head vs khalil's during the first faceoff. Legit looked 2x
Ask Tank Davis
SUPER PAUSE!
Literally looks like stone. So many facial muscles and no fluff. Can break some hands with that face
make a full recover alex you deseve it, bub ❤
Alex has become the fighter we hoped khamzat would be
This comment aged like milk 🤣
I used to dislike Alex but the more ive watched the more ive come to respect him especially after he literally disposed of Jiri like a dead body twice, guy is insanely powerful and has an insatiable hunger for more
that was a flawless counter by khalil

A true warrior
He is a great actor
Big fan of Alex no wonder he looks tired, probably because he’s the one everyones talking about so he’s in high demand I wish him the bestest health
Plinio gotta be fighting for his life tryna translate 😂😂

Worst? Izzy gave the dude a concussion and had him out for several minutes. He couldn't even walk straight afterwards...
26 fights in 15 minutes with 27 of those fights being double backflip into head-kick KOs.. this man is impossible
😂 Alex fans be like:
They should get him one more fight in December end the year off wid 4 fights 4 ko’s 🔥
Crazy how good Alex already was before the UFC and nobody knew him. Now after the UFC and Izzy fights everybody in the MMA MMA community knows him
Fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯
I would want to see this guy vs Rico Verhoeven in a glory match-up 💪
MMA everyone gets hit no matter how good you are. The point is not to get hit alot! Alex is very good at not getting hit and hitting them 💪 with everything he's got. Alex is one of the very best in the cage nowadays 😜👍💯
I'm learning Portuguese. What a beautiful language!
I just wanted to thank Izzy, for bringing this beast to UFC.
