      Poatan proved that those with indigenous blood...do not shy away from a fight. Today, indigenous culture is threatened by farmers and miners. Their lands suffer from pesticide poisoning and water contamination due to mercury used to extract gold. That is why most of them end up migrating to big cities. The indigenous tribes of Brazil are in great need of help. Thank God, a biologist who has a channel decided to teach them and to resume the ancestral habit of working with agriculture, but in a different way. “Agroforestry Agriculture”. This technique restores the soil and does not use pesticides. Anyone who can subscribe to the channel...and leave a like...will certainly help the channel to be monetized and thus...they will be able to buy the plants they need to reforest the indigenous area. th-cam.com/video/bC-4an4qj8Y/w-d-xo.html

    Pereira is a UFC hall of famer with 2 belts in two different weight classes.
    Pereira is 3-1 against Adesanya.
    Pereira defeated more UFC world champions than Adesanya even with half of Adesanya fights in MMA.
    Pereira is beloved by people around the world and doesnt try to force a character.
    Pereira has less than 3 years in MMAA but he is already the number one athlete in whole MMA world.
    And everybody see the jealous in Izzy eyes and words when Pereira's name is mentioned in front of him.

And I'm not an Adesanya fan, Alex is the far more likeable fighter, but just keeping it 100. On paper, it's 3-1 but if we're all being honest, it's 2-2.

    Bro built like a villain and when you're an MMA fan who likes Adesanya, knowing little about Alex other than the fact that he was the guy who beat, the seemingly likeable and heroic Israel 2 times, it's easy to see him as a sort of boogey man, the villain in Adesanya's story. But when you look into it, Alex Pereira is even more admirable and inspirational than Israel. He is a legitimately good human, someone I really looked up to. He was the one who inspired to me start going to the gym and learn kickboxing. The story of his childhood and alcoholism has also helped me abstain completely.

    The "documentary" is well done but just making one correction, neither Charles nor Poatan are from the city of São Paulo, they both come from the state of São Paulo, but Charles is from Guarujá, a city on the coast of the state and Poatan is of São Bernardo do Campo, a city in the metropolitan region of São Paulo.

      I believe with Jones he has a lot more of a chance as Jones is not at his peak anymore and there is a lot of footage of him to be studied and make a gameplan. It would still be a dangerous fight. Aspinal however is the more complicated one in my eyes, it depends mostly on what Tom will choose to do. If he keeps it standing like he did with Pavlovich Alex has a big enough chance to shred his legs, setup a knockout or catch him closing the distance. If Tom decides to grapple however I have trouble seeing Alex surviving a full round and I don't see him winning, unless Aspinal has terrible cardio, since we haven't seen much of him past the first round. Even then that's a really big if.

What he’s done is absolutely amazing and I’m not saying he doesn’t deserve to be where he’s at. I just want to see him prove himself against a true mma fighter that can dominate on the ground and on the feet. Heavyweight is a very dangerous level even for a guy like Alex. Jon Jones is equivalent to Alex size wise and he stayed at Light Heavyweight for a reason. Heavyweight is a different animal when you have guys like Tom that are huge, athletic and can beat you on the ground and the feet.

And again, I think people talk to much about his power not giving much credit to his fight iq. In a fight against Aspinall, alex is the underdog, but the possibility of him getting a W is more of a reality than what most think. Jones is a diferent story, I love the man, and he's the goat in my opinion, even tho he trashed a hometown hero (I'm from Curitiba, Brazil, same city as Shogun Rua), but he had too much shit going on his personal life, it's not like he could have planed his carrer perfectly around it.

      In boxing rules the most probable result is Usyk winning as he is the better boxer however, with the big number of rounds in boxing Alex has plenty of time to land a knockout blow with his absurd power. Every second that Usyq spends with Alex in the ring becomes more dangerous for him, at least before Alex gasses. Of course, Usyq also has the capacity to finish the fight early.
