You are listing way too much to the narrative…. Rounteee with a full tank would be champion today. Alex for once fought a good boxer. Alex was exposed.
@@Somedude8853 it's Khalil's fault...his gameplan was to blitz and KO Alex...that didn't work...whereas Pereira was methodically dissecting Khalil...it paid off...Khalil did great but wasn't great enough to secure a victory against Alex...
@@Somedude8853 He had to wait because he was blitzing in like a sperg. A dying animal is at its most dangerous state. When he slowed down just the smallest amount, his leg was chopped to pieces and he was methodically broken down.
This is the first main event in a LONG time where i felt actual excitement 😁 I have to admit im probably one of the few that did a Stake punt on Khalil to win it 😅 But tbh, im not even mad 🤷♀️ Dude was a WARRIOR and will get a lot of new fans after this! Well deserved by Poatan though, dude is just a different animal 👏
As the fight went on more and more, I slowly started to realize that Pereira was assessing Rountree like he was playing a Souls game. Pure patience, learning his movements... then go in for the kill.
Ye, it was like he was downloading information for two rounds, then he learned the "bosses’ patterns" and went in for the kill. His fight IQ is insane. I mean, even the way he talks to Glover on the breaks between rounds is high level, he is always debating strategy rather than just listening.
He's by far the biggest, scariest, strongest, vicious fighter the world has ever seen! He's a former Glory 6 division world champion and a 5x middleweight ufc champ 4× lightheavyweight champ! He's 7 ft 6 inches tall with a 120 inch reach with true 1 punch ko power in both hands! He's a former 3x Olympic gold medalist in judo karate and kung-fu and a 11 degree bjj black belt who submitted Gordon Ryan in 15 seconds and KO Tyson Fury in his very first boxing match! The man is a beast!! Chama!
@@richardstephenson7623 Over the 1st 2 rounds Khalil landed the better shots and dropped Periera ... he just gassed. He actually gave Periera a competitive fight and rocked him for 1st time in awhile
Tonight Alex showed almost like a sadistic, even scarier side of him!! He wanted to make Khalil work while he was playing a VERY dangerous game of reading in round 1-2, just investing! And then just took OVER the fight in round 3 and just butchered Khalil in round 4.. This is truly something else! He didnt even apply all his moves in the pocket until round 3, like what 😵💫
Yeah he was unlocking tools in the arsenal as he needed them I def feel like he took a lot of risk finishing khalil at one point it looked like that Adesanya knock out I was like is Khalil gnna try it? Lol
Yes all true, also he knew Khalil is very fast and Explosive but as the fight continues he tires. On top Poatan hit leg kicks and body shots for each round to further dull Khalils tools Insane fight IQ
Alex could've finished him in the second round. He didn't invest into the body until I think the third with the body kick if he would've done that earlier he definitely would've got him outta there on 2 rounds. Entertaining fight but I didn't like that it felt like Alex was playing with his food.
Bro I felt bad for Khalil, that was an ass kicking. Alex seem at one point to not wanna hurt him anymore. Until he started swinging then he put it on him. Crazy. Alex the champ.
Alex is the true embodiment of a true warrior archetype. That mixed with his indigenous ancestry and connection to spirituality. Truly makes this man the greatest warrior on earth right now
I recommend watching highlights of the 3 fights of his early Boxing career. He didn't start Kickboxing at 21 years old, he started having his first contact with fighting at 21 years old in Boxing and notice how he knocked out the guys I am totally convinced that if he had made a career in Boxing and had a good coach, he would have had the best scenario for his talent in boxing. Kickboxing and MMA do not take advantage of 100% of his talent, but the biggest danger is his hands and it would be boxing that would take advantage of 100%

I think this was his most impressive win honestly. Most of his wins came from one huge power shot, but this one he actually had to change his tactics once he realized he wasn’t going to be able to land that one shot. He really showed his skill as a technical kick boxer and systematically broke him down using his jab and calf kicks and the poured it on once enough damage was done. Seeing him go 1st and 3rd in the 3rd round was absolutely beautiful to watch.

Alex Pereira has certain tremendous attributes that help him to succeed: -Height 6"5-6"6, reach 83+ (definitely not 79) and long legs, wide chest and shoulders that generate power. -apparently above average cardio and good chin. -long striking experience and efficiency when throwing shots. -hard work and dedication. these attributes are quite unique to all be combined in one fighter. Most of his opponents can't match these attributes, so they absolutely need to take him down to improve their odds of winning. One of the few MMA fighters that can match his physical attributes is probably Francis Ngannou, but unfortunately Francis lacks the cardio and Experience.
@@xavierb9061 don't underestimate Alex now. Only one I see troubling him is ankalaev, khamzat might wrestle but he can't stand and bang against Alex as Alex is too big. Gains over 20 to 30 pounds after weight in which is unusually high for a person. Also his built is different
Great performance from Pereira. Congrats to him and props to Khalil, he was going after it and had his moments in the fight. Showed great heart as well. I'd like to see Pereira vs Ankalaev next. Ankalaev deserves his shot at the title.
Peirera is the fighter of 2024 for sure and it would only be a competition against Max if he beats Illia. Gotta appreciate all the entertainment; the UFC gotta pay him much more. Chama🎉🎉🎉
I don't know why fighter insist on competing against Alex in the stand up gamg. The dude is a world class striker probably the best in the UFC, you'll think the simple answer would be just to take him down and wrestle 🤷🏽
They just have to either put a strong grappler against Alex, or just force him to heavyweight. Every striker that goes against him, we all know How it's going to end. He's not normal
If he's smart, He should tbh, Why risk it? Every fighter who has fought Alex says they're gonna beat him on the feet and gets cooked lol Ank should just grappling tf out of him
@@roythousand13 Alex never returned to middleweight because of how draining that weight cutting was. That KO was a fluke... Alex received far heavier punches in LHW and never looked the way he did against Izzy in those two fights. But Izzy is a great fighter. Too bad him and Alex don't belong to the same weight class. I wish Izzy could put up more muscle so we could get a final rematch at LHW, with both guys at their strongest, but that's not gonna happen.
Alex vs jon jones savage and best fight in ufc history !!!!!!! 100% ,🔥🔥🔥🔥if you make this hapen im buying the fight pass and all the things the first time !!!!!
I see why people saying khalil gave Alex his toughest fight at LHW But you need to understand 3 championship fights in less then a year and being 37 years old, Alex is not going to get better and better from here on, If he had 6 months break he would have ended it within 3 rounds
Honestly, I just think this is further evidence that 205 is the worst it's been in years. Jiri and Hill are full of nothing but excuses after they get starched by Poatan, but the one guy who got an undeserving title shot goes in there fights his heart out. I'm still mad at the UFC for making this fight, but I'll never disrespect Rountree again, he's a real fighter unlike a lot of these clowns at 205.
@@_azurejake Level of competition matters, knocking out bums is one thing, but giving Poatan the fight of his life is a whole nother level, and Rountree really leveled up for this fight, this is what you call not letting an opportunity go to waste if I've ever seen one!
@@bluejay9235 Yeah, I agree with you. After the Ankalaev fight, I don't know what's next for Alex. He might try to get some more championship wins under his name (he might also try to one-up Izzy in defending his belt too 😆). He should also keep improving his ground game until he eventually moves to heavyweight, chasing greatness and GOAT status
Khalil is a beast!!!! This dudes life story is so cool he was once 300+ pounds and started to train MMA to lose weight and quickly fell in love with the sport and pursued it professionally!!! He is the true definition of someone who worked their ass off to be where they are.
He’s not a wrestler. If he was fatigued from striking, grappling would’ve sped that whole process up. He fought his fight and came up short. Hats off to Khalil, though. Dude is tough as nails and a G for his heart in there
I really think it was the cut to 185 that did it. Plus I noticed in the 4th before he got the TKO he would back off for a bit before going in for another combo, unlike the Izzy fight where he overcommitted and got caught. Very clever.
I think it just goes to show how polished the kickboxers are. Combine that with unreal strength and it’s a winning formula. Also good to have a willing opponent who will trade strikes rather than wrestle you all night.

-apparently above average cardio and good chin.
-long striking experience and efficiency when throwing shots.

4 title defenses in 7 months is effin crazy
Khalil earned a lot of respect
Had the shakes watching this fight. Haven’t felt like that in a long time
Freak of nature😊
Alex is also a black belt in judo and Jujitsu. He’s a wizard on the ground too . Sky is the limit for this kid !
They both have an amazing chin. Alex saves yet another card!
There's been many fighter's claiming the name "hands of stone" but there's truly only one Poatan...
Perierra is just MEANT to do this
the last comment about weight had DC going "Damnit"
He won by jabs today
No it was the body shots at the end that did it really
He did train with Strickland 😂😂
100% Khalil just did not get his head off the center line, I was saying this during the fight, Alex was jabbing Khalil's head off
No he dadnt he wasn’t a bigger man
Literally took his head off in the 4th with a variety of shots.
That tribal black magic is real
New story line there for sure.
Such an amazing fight
Great performance from Pereira. Congrats to him and props to Khalil, he was going after it and had his moments in the fight. Showed great heart as well. I'd like to see Pereira vs Ankalaev next. Ankalaev deserves his shot at the title.
Peirera is the fighter of 2024 for sure and it would only be a competition against Max if he beats Illia. Gotta appreciate all the entertainment; the UFC gotta pay him much more. Chama🎉🎉🎉
It wouldn't be bigger than Alex's year bro...
Alex has finished 3 title fights this year.
Chama
My eyes might be betraying me, but is that blood near Joe's phone?
Much respect to roundtree he truly gave it everything he had.
As mma fans we really need to put some respect on roundtrees name. A true warrior
UFC cheers up all subscribers by making Poatan go down or better yet move up a division and testing himself with the heavier guys
Man. He is THAT GOOD. 😮❤
I don't know why fighter insist on competing against Alex in the stand up gamg. The dude is a world class striker probably the best in the UFC, you'll think the simple answer would be just to take him down and wrestle 🤷🏽
A human born and bred to be a warrior does hit different.
Joe is so in love 😍😂
They just have to either put a strong grappler against Alex, or just force him to heavyweight.
Every striker that goes against him, we all know How it's going to end. He's not normal
Magomed gonna be scared of stand up and will just shoot like a b....
Ankalaev is almost as tall as Pereira and has power in his hands.
@@mustaquimahmedtanbeer2437Not like Poatan's power tho
If he's smart, He should tbh, Why risk it? Every fighter who has fought Alex says they're gonna beat him on the feet and gets cooked lol Ank should just grappling tf out of him
@@woodmanbeingreasonable lets see. That would be a great matchup.
@mustaquimahmedtanbeer2437 Khalil has tremendous power, look what happened...
The torque in Alex's shots is crazy. He's git that death touch
you know what izzy is doing right now at the bar
Who did Alex lose to in the UFC?
@@roythousand13who still champion🙄
@@roythousand13 Your just proving his point by asking who alex lost to one time 🤣
Izzy made fun of himself by saying it in his fight pick video a few days go. Think he picked Alex to win.
@@roythousand13
Alex never returned to middleweight because of how draining that weight cutting was. That KO was a fluke... Alex received far heavier punches in LHW and never looked the way he did against Izzy in those two fights.
But Izzy is a great fighter. Too bad him and Alex don't belong to the same weight class. I wish Izzy could put up more muscle so we could get a final rematch at LHW, with both guys at their strongest, but that's not gonna happen.
Yes. He is amazing. His is focused like a laser beam.🥊
Can't wait for Ankalaev vs Alex
You are excited for boring ass Ank or just hate Alex? 😂
Ankalaev will lost to Rackic, so the next fight will be Pereira x Rackic.
Khalil earned a LOT of respect from UFC/MMA fans at 307
Alex vs jon jones savage and best fight in ufc history !!!!!!! 100% ,🔥🔥🔥🔥if you make this hapen im buying the fight pass and all the things the first time !!!!!
You could see the work he’s been doing with Strickland lately he almost used the Philly shell for a second
Tbh ive seen him doing it on Glory before...
Alex is by far the best striker of Ufc of all time no cap
Are u dumb???
Alex. Very knowledged!!
I see why people saying khalil gave Alex his toughest fight at LHW
But you need to understand 3 championship fights in less then a year and being 37 years old, Alex is not going to get better and better from here on,
If he had 6 months break he would have ended it within 3 rounds
Honestly, I just think this is further evidence that 205 is the worst it's been in years. Jiri and Hill are full of nothing but excuses after they get starched by Poatan, but the one guy who got an undeserving title shot goes in there fights his heart out. I'm still mad at the UFC for making this fight, but I'll never disrespect Rountree again, he's a real fighter unlike a lot of these clowns at 205.
@bluejay9235 wouldn't say Khalil didn't deserve the shot, he looked like a beast in his last few fights.
@@bluejay9235 Roundtree before this fight won 4 of his last 5 fights by knockout he was lethal coming in.
@@_azurejake Level of competition matters, knocking out bums is one thing, but giving Poatan the fight of his life is a whole nother level, and Rountree really leveled up for this fight, this is what you call not letting an opportunity go to waste if I've ever seen one!
@@bluejay9235 Yeah, I agree with you. After the Ankalaev fight, I don't know what's next for Alex. He might try to get some more championship wins under his name (he might also try to one-up Izzy in defending his belt too 😆). He should also keep improving his ground game until he eventually moves to heavyweight, chasing greatness and GOAT status
Joe is the best
Super real humble
Isreal Adensanya sitting in a bar telling everyone he beat him once 😆
Alex dickriders literally cannot see Alex fight and not mention Izzy looool
Absolute beating in 4th round. Kudos to Khalil for not crumbling easy.🔥
I’m starting to think this black magic stuff is real
It's not black magic. Just genetics.
When you train and spent hours and hours everyday at the gym the magic works.
@@GrubKiller436 and years of hardwork
You can't train that power, man. You just can't.
Khalil is a beast!!!! This dudes life story is so cool he was once 300+ pounds and started to train MMA to lose weight and quickly fell in love with the sport and pursued it professionally!!! He is the true definition of someone who worked their ass off to be where they are.
Where is chael sonen
😂
Best fight ive ever seen
Rountree a dummy for not wrestling
He’s not a wrestler. If he was fatigued from striking, grappling would’ve sped that whole process up. He fought his fight and came up short. Hats off to Khalil, though. Dude is tough as nails and a G for his heart in there
Elevation + he's not a wrestler so doing both would tire him out more. His best shot was striking as crazy as that sounds.
His wrestling is probably even worse than Poatan's, he had much more success doing what he did than trying to change to a style he's not used to.
So he could get tired faster and then get pieced up by Poatan afterwards? Khalil's only way to win was on the feet.
Not everyone’s a high level wrestler or has the cardio to wrestle for 5 rounds
He is very much touched by a warrior of god. Guidance Over Division Unity ❤ Alex is a true warrior
Still insane Izzy was able to knock him out
He has intercourse with animals.
Had to play a trick on him to do it.
I really think it was the cut to 185 that did it. Plus I noticed in the 4th before he got the TKO he would back off for a bit before going in for another combo, unlike the Izzy fight where he overcommitted and got caught. Very clever.
At 185, too dimished, 205 is his division.
Thought Rountree had the chance to do what Adesanya did while Pereira was throwing combos at him but Khalil was just too overwhelmed and hurt
I think it just goes to show how polished the kickboxers are. Combine that with unreal strength and it’s a winning formula. Also good to have a willing opponent who will trade strikes rather than wrestle you all night.
Let,s Go Magomed Ankalaev❤💪
👉👉👉👉👉👉 nível 5 😅😅😅😅
i think he can beat everybody anyone in this game he is the best ever i say before 1 year if he go up and win in heavyweight he is number on best ever
