Alex Pereira - Destroying the Best Kickboxers, First Double Champion in Glory's Kickboxing History
Alex Poatan Pereira is currently a middleweight mma fighter in the UFC but arguably a potential future champion because of his skill set and having hype due to his rivalry with current champion Israel 'The Last Stylebender" Adesanya. This is only a small video on Alex's reign over at Glory, the biggest and best kickboxing organization in the world. At that time Alex was the only kickboxer to have held 2 championship belts in 2 different weight classes (middleweight & light heavyweight). Watch on how dominating Alex was during his reign, with slick striking and scary knockout power.

What video or story from Alex Pereira would you like to see more?
yes
Who’s here after he became 2-division champion in the UFC?
🇧🇷🗿
Don't tell me Adesanya isn't afraid of this guy
Izzy is so afraid that his plans to deliver a performance on Cannonier fight went out of the window once he saw Alex KO that hillbilly
@@truthseeker96 How is sean a hillbilly? He is from californa lmao.
@@truthseeker96 Hi Khabitch nut rider
@@planthub9252 former Neo Nazi
Izzy fought Romero, Yan, and Costa. All 3 scary individuals, especially Yan and Romero. You guys need to stop the cap, Izzy and Alex are fighting by end of the year. The fight is an already done deal. If he's so scared, then why is he fighting him? Doesn't make sense.
All the kickboxer Alex fought in this video are absolute killers with multiple championships, what an amazing resume.
With no head movement, just punching bags with no I q
@@zonatanrecords60your an idiot 😂 how’d that head movement work out for Izzy 💤
For real , he fought the best kickboxerw on the planet
yeah man
You literally can't say that about izzys opponents until his last six or seven fights. Izzy was a can crusher. I'm got so sick of everyone saying he was the best. He never fought anyone that was legit world beater the way alex is.
The power he can generate with such short punches is just mind boggling.
I think he has natural knock out power in that left just like Conor.
You blink and he knocked somebody out
The quality of muscle is already pre-built, plus training = hard punch.
I'm hoping he will defeat Israel Adesanya via KO!
he throws punches off the balls of his feet too, so impressive. he is a true kickboxer.
Tô think this guy only started to fight at 21 years old and to run away from alcoholism… some people are just blessed with talent
🙌🙌🙌
He wasn’t 30
@@SERBIA1389SERBIA Nonetheless, it takes most fighters almost their entire life to get to the elite level. For comparison's sake, Oliviera started training at 12 and became champion only recently at 30+, Khabib started training wrestling at 12 too, and became champion around the same age as well, meanwhile Pereira here was already glory champion with a "mere" 10 years of experience which for most people, isn't nearly enough.
@@ghostrider.49 21 ain’t old most people at who start at young age drop off because get bored life circumstances etc 21 ain’t that old if you have time and support
@@SERBIA1389SERBIA What you mean it's not old? That is a basic fact, and 21 is too old for professional sports. If you want to start just to exercise, it's not a problem, but if you want to become a professional athlete and haven't started at a very young ages, your chances are almost zero. Only truly talented guys manage to do it.
Who’s here after he became double champ
I knew this guy is scary but after this video? He's a monster that power and precision is insane
Buh bye Izzy lol lol. Can't stand you anyway🤣🤣🤣🤣
He caught Adesanya last night with it.
@@Checkmate777 That's the thing, he didn't. He beat izzy but he didn't look nowhere this clean, at it makes sense. Imagine when he ACTUALLY gets comfortable in MMA, dude will be a LITERAL assassin.
Alex is a fluke. Alex is like a hope. Izzy will finish him this
I came from the future to say that he just became the heavyweight champion and the first fighter to become triple UFC champion 🏆🏆🏆
It's possible, he is big enough to go Heavyweight
So if you get this statement right, it will be surreal lol
i believe it tbf
this age like fine wine
Pereira is extremely scary. Cold, don't smile, killer fixed look.
The Silent Assassin
Never talk trash and let his fist and kicks do the work, a true profesional
Scary as fuck.....
one scariest thing about him. he is a descendant of Amazonian Indians.
Probably has a big rod too
Here in Brazil we see this guy as the best striker in our history, hope you guys enjoy him, hes a specimen, still peaking and peaking at 35 years old. Different level, thats just it.
@james Deer I'm answering you for the broker I'm sorry if the pronunciation was different or wrong, but alex promises for his evolution and not for what he has already done for us "Brazilian people", when he fights with adesany he will understand what I meant with this massage , oh it's the real angry beast not to see who doesn't want to
Now he's the best Muslim striker in our history lol
@james Deer "In our history" he said, not in all of history. Work on your reading comprehension, my guy.
@james Deer How is that mutually exclusive?
@james Deer "Here in Brazil we see this guy as the best striker in our history." So unless you're from Brazil, no, it doesn't include your history. Again, work on your reading comprehension.
Voltei hoje pra dizer que o cara não foi só campeão dos médio do UFC como agora é o campeão meio pesado , esse cara é sinsitro

A galera tem que entender que estamos diante de um dos maiores atletas de combate da historia... foram dois esportes diferentes, duas categorias diferentes em cada um... isso é bizarro@@Gsilvabritooficial7
His calmness under pressure, his fight iq, his deathly accurate flying knees, and his legendary left hook make him possibly the greatest striker in fighting history. His technical application to his strikes is truly something to behold.
Who else is here to rewatch this after he won the belt? Without a doubt one of the best strikers of our time, the man literally has wrecking balls for hands, anything he hits he destroys. 👊🏻🧨💥

The rivalry between Alex Pereira and Izzy Adesanya is one of the best in combat history...
There's no rivalry in kickboxing since Alex won both fights. In mma there is rivalry since its 1-1 but Izzy lost to Jan and Alex beat Jan and beat Jiri so there is somewhat less of a rivalry since Alex accomplished what Izzy could not. Maybe Izzy moves up eventually who knows.
Crazy how effortlessly Pereira was able to counter his opponents with those kickboxing gloves
Bro they are not as difficult as boxing gloves, and not as fat as UFC gloves. They are in between. So it's not crazy, the only difference is He's a natural boxer, watch how a Boxer takes down nearly everyone. What i meant with that is, u have kickboxers who kickbox their entire life and focus their legs and kicks all the time... But never did boxing, which is the basics and the most dangerous part most useful part of the sport. So if u have somebody who started out boxing and has THIS as his basics... And is amazing at it, he could easily switch to be a kickboxer and et real far.
@@AB-ll9xj that's what i meant genius, fucking christ ur dumb, larger thab ufc but a boxer trains way more upper body technique making anyone who boxes way faster than the regular kickboxer, problem? And what i used 16 oz gloves at age 16 lmao seems like ur not really on par with reality either. (If i were to be as dumb as u)
@@jaymexxu Wtf u for sure say shit, kick are better more dangerous. Btw your leg are so powerfull that you can destroy it by kicking. you can't destroy your hand except if you hit in a bag with out gloves. Another thing kickboxer don't focus their legs they focus hand leg knee even elbow. but i'm not sure about the elbow maybe it's in the K-1 or muay thai.
@@jaymexxu kickboxing gloves are literally boxing gloves. They are the same thing. The weight and what a glove is made out of is what makes gloves different.
@@ligma5000 I did both sports as an amateur, aswel as full contact i know the differences
When Alex smiled his entire face looked so different person. I like his killer look
Thank you for showing these fights. He wasn't in his prime at those Adesanya's fights. He's improved a lot after those fights and become a beast
Yeah Israel had over 3x as much experience as Alex and still got sent to the shadow palace
@@forwardmoving8252 he has that game changer with his power.
Really nice to kind of see why he chose to go to ufc. Going back down a weight class would have been something he has already done and conquered. While the ufc is a new door for more recognition. Plus he has already ko the current champ.
@@forwardmoving8252 yeah and Izzy dominated him in both fights just got caught ofc
@@ABESW0RLD that’s why he lost twice right?
his demeanor changed a lot, he's calm and focused on every fight now, I can see it in his body language. He always had crazy power, but now every punch is a death threat
Great video. Hopefully Alex will become the new MW UFC champ to save us from boredesanya
Amen to that
You would miss adesanya when he's gone..
@@tm0626 Nobody will
Lmao
@@felipe9228 he's had a couple snoozers but you're all quick to forget his bangers and masterpieces. If you were bored at Vettori or Costa then you just don't appreciate the art (aka casual).
props to adesanya for everything he has achieved in mma but Its really dumb people keep pushing this narrative of adesanya being the only one that has improved since their clash, pereira went of to become a two division champ in glory you can see how much he has been challenged and had to improve to overcome those challenges while adesanya for the most part has not been facing this level of striking in the ufc, if its a straight kickboxing match when those two get in the octagon, pereira is taking it
You are 💯 correct people are wowed by Adesanya striking level when there are even higher level strikers them in outside Ufc and I do believe pereira striking level is even higher than Izzy. The guy proved his an elite striker by taking the belt from an elite striker in Vakhitov and Knocking out the Number one contender at the time too. Izzy couldn’t get past Jasón Wilnis who pereira ran through him I mean that is improvement especially from their earlier fights, Izzy hasn’t faced a high level striker like him self in the ufc yet
You're right. Some people also forget that when they faced each other Alex had approximately 20 fights while adesanya had over 80.
On point
@james Deer that is a really silly way to lose your money, this is clearly gunna be a kickboxing match when they fight for the belt, and even if it went to the ground you're forgetting that Glover is Pereiras main training partner, you really think they didn't train td defense and ground game?
@james Deer 🤣 what gnp or submission as has izzy shown that would make you that confident? It may be mma yes, but izzy has really only perfected his takedown defense/submission defense and getting off his back. You really think izzy is just gonna take Alex down and beat him on the ground? I don't see it. Izzy maybe can score a couple takedown but he's no ground fighter by any stretch.
This dude might just be the scariest striker in combat sports. Any moment he is standing its just a dangerous game your playing, his power is also something that can't be trained its plain and simply gods gift to him. SUPERIOR genetics.
Poatan será será duplo campeão do Ufc ❤ 🇧🇷
Já é
Ele fez.
🇧🇷🗿
The promoter asking him to smile. And he makes a funny face.Ahahaha. He does not knows how to smile.ahahah
Dude that was sooo funny 😂
He does not KNOW how to smile***
killers dont smile :)))
It would have been bad ass if he told the promoter to fukc off, but I guess he's not a jerk lol
He is straight out of a MMA movie. PERIOD.
🔥🏆 Alex Pereira Double champ in Glory and now the in the UFC!!
He did i !!!!. Double champ Middle and LHW in the UFC, wtf
Update bro
What Pereira did to Wilnis in their 3rd fight the way he finished him was absolutely brutal, just devastating kick followed by that vicious knee
I wish he fought that Russian guy for the 3rd time. I dont watch kickboxing but I think Alex is the better fighter between the two.
Alex Poatan Champion UFC - 13/11/22 (UFC 281)🤜🤛
Not sure how Strickland thought he hold his own vs this guy. Alex is a beast!

@@rays8521 GSP won multiple titles and is considered goat from control time without striking.. 🤷 Izzy didn't do anything significant in that fight and deserved to lose..
This video is eye opening . I wasn’t keen on glory tbh . But I decided to do my research & what I found just blew me away . His fight iq is incredible . I don’t even want to go into detail about what I’m seeing from him I literally typed a synopsis & it ended up being way too long .. so i deleted it 😂 but bro .. the overarching deception that he engaged for multiple rounds .. setting up a left hook that had a high probability to land due to that deception ? 👌🏾👌🏾 Fkn brilliant . It was like he was standing in the pocket .. slightly closer than one would normally permit .. yet he was so comfortable doing so .. slipping punches & studying . Then outta nowhere it torques a left hook from the woodworks .. & there’s no way it will be intercepted because he spent rounds conditioning your brain for HIS perceived range I never seen anything like it honestly. Alex will reign for a very long time if he works on his takedown defense
This is the highest fight IQ comment I read so far! Totally agree with you!
After beating Jiri, Alex needs a movie
More important than the power on his punches it is the placement. He is a master at placing the punch right where it causes the brain to go lights out!🤯
I am glad someone caught on, I noticed this right way watching him for first time. I pray for these fighters because those placements hurt like motherfucker.
🤣🤣🤣🤣...true!!
people talks about how much raw power he can generate in short distance, but I barely see people talks about his accuracy. dude can find your chin with his left hand wherever you're trying to hide it.
Izzy been losing sleep since Alex stepped into the Octagon. Izzy was fighting safe mode as champ while Alex was fighting wars. We all know what's up.
Yeah…Izzy just send Alex to the shadow realm.

Damn how tough was that middle weight champ he beat. He took flying knees and every power shot Alex through. He beat a legit champion.
holy shiet! what a tough guy he is, just watching that flying knee landing my chin hurt
I was thinking that exact thing. Man was a monster it seemed. Made me respect both men a shit ton
Glory is crazy bro, if more of these high ranked and champ level glory fighters start switching to the ufc like Alex those guys r gonna be in trouble
Not can... He is the ufc champ ! In two fucking divisions what a legend
you know what, vakhitov really had something with the refferee or what, abena should have win againts vakhitov, and pereira also sshould win againts vakhitov in 2nd match
Adesanya still dreams about this guy…. Now even more as he is in UFC 😂

Excellent video. I just want to point out that Alex was clearly robbed in his last fight against Vakhitov. The fight is available on KZhead, you may check that.

Man Izzy vs Alex is going to be like hit vs jiren. Izzy trying to stay 1 step ahead due to his counter ability. But Alex will just walk straight through it cause izzy will underestimate how much Alex had improved.
No he didn't walk him down but he did pull off the rocky and beat him in the 2nd fight. When I said walk him down I am referring to the fight thats about to happen. I feel Alex's power allows him to find more openings. Izzy cannot approach this fight the same as costa or Whittaker cause if he does hell get koed. Also as I mentioned if he approaches this fight like the Jared or yoel fight Alex's skill set, experience, power, mental advantage will over come the point fight and he will find the openings. Gotta remember this guys resume on the feet is very similar to izzy and in some areas even better. Same height reach etc izzy hasn't had that in the ufc other then Anderson and even then he cannot fight that style. The only thing izzy has over him is ufc experience but then Alex's is 2 division kb campion. So if its on the feet I know who I'm picking. Lol
That left hook
He is current Champ in UFC...
Wow... I had no idea. This guy is a wrecking ball and has been improving year after year. That's scary. Can't wait to see him fight.
Todos, tem uma maneira de dizer : que ele chegou rápido onde ele ( Poatan ) está no UFC mais ele tem passado, presente, futuro ele tem mais história do que pensam.
Mann that left hook is sooo dangerous 😳
Alex is a new UFC champion
6:35 - Rare footage
Kkkk verdade
the power, speed and accuracy in his counters is devastating
Alex has Ngannou levels of power in that left hand. One of these KOs looks like a glancing blow and the guy went down. Israel has his hands full with his next fight.
He definitely has that killer instinct
i was on a Glory binge a year ago on the middleweight division. thanks for the context on some of these.
No showboating , no dancing around straight fight and kill.... The man is scary as fuckkkkkk..... Haven't seen anyone as such as this man possessed.....
He is simply terrifying. His explosive power with every limb is a serious problem. Israel better avoid that cat. That loss was no fluke son. Dude is a legit killer.
Monster from Brazil!! 🔥🔥🇧🇷🇧🇷
Beautiful combinations. He would have had a great boxing career.
This man is connecting flying knee 99% out of 100 and man has really amazing one punch knock out power and i am watching Israels time is about to end...

I’ve never been so keen for a fight since Anderson vs weidman 2
Silva weidman 2 was such a disappointment too. Silva was getting beat up abit in round 1 by weidman anyway tho. Almost git KOed by ground and pound. That was also my most anticipated fight ever aside from khabib conor.
That slip of the straight to a left hook counter at 11:38 is ridiculous
I love Pereira. Definetely the best striker in whole MMA right now.
His power punching sequencing is outstanding. Especially at the ranges he's able to do it at. From long kicks,straights, hooks, to knees in one combo all power shots
Best video made about him so far.
That left hook is so fast and precise no wonder it lands all the time
This content is absolutely remarkable. Great video.
Screaming at 3:32am because 4:47 is the cleanest right hand I’ve seen better than a Tyson right hand! The way the head folds as it connects is simply beautiful
