Few people know this, but Alex lost his older brother to crime... that's sad, bro
Where u know that from
@@ruiraiz9694 kzhead.info/sun/qKavpqt9o5GBgpE/bejne.htmlsi=PLghZS1oQh_zDNUV In 28:10 he talks about his brother.
@@ruiraiz9694 as a Brazilian, I can confirm this. He has said this in multiple interviews, he also said his brother would always get the best of him when it came to fighting, unfortunately he got into crime and couldnt escape
he died because of drugs, he was 18 when he died
Yup Brazil is no fucking joke making something from yourself in that country without resorting to crime is something special
Volkanovski, Pereira and Francis are some of the best male role models ive ever seen. All from diffrent backgrounds and cultures but all fine examples of masculinity.
So true man
Charles too
Charles Oliveira is the most inspiring imo by far then Francis then Alex
ty bro Charles story is the most inspiring especially him coming back and going on a 12 fight win streak, become champ, 2 title defenses, most finishes and submissions, doctor said he couldnt walk ever again anymore or do any sports ever again in his life, The Holloway injury that left him paralyzed, grew up super poor, lost his mentor that got him into Jiu Jitsu due to crime, its just such a never give up everything is possible even when people tell you its impossible for you to do it story@@cristianomurbachpires1575
@JensJenssenCS I'm a huge fan of Charles as well. He has overcome a huge amount. Francis was nearly killed multiple times to achieve his dream. Everyone's story is different. No need to diminish anyone I mentioned.
Just when I thought I couldn't respect him anymore, I see this guy giving back and motivating people.
any more and anymore are different.
Alex joined the UFC because Izzy made a comment mocking Alex. Izzy said Alex will sit in a bar somewhere and boast about beating Adesanya in obscurity. Even in the second fight, Izzy was playing possum to defeat Alex. If Alex did not rush, Izzy would have never won that fight. Now Alex is two division champion.
That wasn't the only reason but sure it was a big motivation
So with that logic, you could also say that had there been five more seconds in the first round during their first MMA fight, Izzy would have knocked Alex out. You could also say that if Alex didn’t get Izzy up against the cage and let his hands go, he would have lost considering Izzy won every round up until that point. Stop trying to justify your opinion using “hindsight” and “hypotheticals”. You just sound stupid.
Do you know what's the most bizarre? Today the Nigerian is exactly what he said Poatan would be: a guy bragging about having beaten someone successful once in his life lol, that's why Alex is so cool, proud of this guy
@@henriqqqqs So well put. All he has is that one win.
I wouldn't say if he didn't rush Izzy never would have won he almost won the first one if we are boiling victories down to ifs if Izzy just danced and ran away from Alex at the end of the first UFC fight Alex never would have won but fortunately for Izzy and Alex back seat fighters posting ifs in comment sections don't decided victories or losses they are both tremendous fighters who should be admired wish Izzy was a bit less cringe sometimes tho
And to think Adesanya, the guy who grew up in the rich part of Lagos in Nigeria said that the people from the favelas can relate to him... Just so sad
he grew up in a house with servants lmao
I just don't know why people never tell the full story behind alex and Adesanya rivalry, here it goes: When they first fight alex had 13 pro fights and Adesanya almost 70, poatan won by decision and Adesanya didn't agree with that, got really mad at the judge and, for some reason, at alex to 🤷🏻♂️. For their second fight adesanya talked mad trash about poatan, his family and even said that he was going to beat him up in his backyard like a dog or something, poatan was comming from a surgery in his left elbow a month before and took the fight 10 days short notice, he was one of the otganizers of that edition that took place in Sao Paulo Brazi but adesanya's opponent got hurt and alex decided to take his place. Adesanya was winning then he got koed, after the fight alex saw him sitting on the sidewalk outside of the stadium crying alongside with his coaches, alex pass through him and Adesanya looked away, got up and left. After that adesanya moved to mma and talked trash about poatan every single time people asked him about that KO, and the rest, is history.
@@felipe9228 I knew every single part except the last one of Izzy crying on the sidewalk lmao I'm brazilian too. Fuck Izzy, doglicker and weirdo
lol fr? crazy never heard of that@@felipe9228
onde se viu essas historia que o izzy estava chorando?@@felipe9228
ALEX PEREIRA IS CLEAN FROM THE ALCHOOLL SINCE 2015 IF I REMEMBER BUT .... IN ADESANYA INTERVIEW ...ISRAEL TALKING ABOUT POATAN BEING AT A PUB /BAR WAS SOO PERSONAL THAT HE TOOK PERSONALLY AND ENBRACE HIS MISSION..... ADESANYA IS NOT INGENUOUS HE KNOW THE STRUGGLE OF HIS RIVEL WITH ALCHOHOL
to think that Adesanya said fuck no with kickboxing after the KO loss to Alex lmao Izzy ran off to another sport just for Alex to say nah
3x1 for ALCHOHOL

Even before that. Poatan is clear from alcohol for more than 10 years now
I didnt think bout it that way
Tribal Warriors. I love that.. To all my Native American brothers and sisters from North and South America I love you ❤
Love Perieras journey to his success. Such a humble guy and he knows how to Poatan a show.
Good one asshole!
W
clever
I have much respect for Alex knowing where he came from and what he had to overcome 💯 now he’s a 2 division champ of the UFC
Les't Go, Poatan Pereira! From Chile 🇧🇷👍🇨🇱.
VAMOS CHILE!
Im from the same town that Alex lives and trains in. Its crazy to see him, glover and the team running drills at the highschool football field next to my house.
Have you ever tried training with these guys ?
Can you ask Glover about his fight with Anthony Johnson?
As a Bayern fan it's so cool he's rocking Bayerns jersey n the beginning. fan of this guy now and forever. what a story Alex, thank you. CHAMA !!!!
His girl is german.

Ele não gosta de futebol
Gosta sim, inclusive, manda bem na pelada.
I love MMA, boxing and kickbobing and Alex is no doubt my favorite fighter in the world.
The man is already a legend.

Where did you see Adesanya talking trash before the Glory fight? Doing some research for my next vid at the moment, would be greatly appreciated. Drop me a message if you can, my email is elijahoxford2022@gmail.com
The story mixed with the highlights and the podcast are wild. Thank you for this video!

@@felipe9228 thank you for add that. The Adesanya’s ego was his downfall
You missed Few Key Points, he was drinking till that first zzy fight, and he was also working at tireshop even after joining glory, he had big brother who was batter then him in fighting but he choose crime/drug over hardwork and died at the age of 18-19...
Big brothers are always better 😂😂
I can see Alex moving into politics after his MMA career. Got the looks, confidence, attitude, connection with people, high profile etc. Not just a fighting champion. Just an amazing guy. Period.
He doesn't have the profile of a politician, especially in Brazil where politicians are corrupt. He has the profile of creating several social projects involving sports, to help needy children.
@@fabiohbo , yes about social projects and helping the needy. Used to work in that "industry". That's another scam. The only ones that do well are the CEOs, boards and funders inner circle or favourites.
He’s very down to earth, funny, and he’s a stand up guy. His people, his tribe back home, must be very proud to call him ‘one of them’
Socila projects good, but not politics, that's horrible, specialy in Brazil
Izzy with the Chinese flag lmaoo
Muito bom o seu documentário, feito com excelência. No Futuro ele ganhará 2 cinturões em divisões diferentes no UFC. Poatan is Amazing🗿🗿🗿🏆🏆

very Good work, new sub here From Czech Republic Jiří fan also Alexs now
Says "Sao Paulo", proceeds to showcase Rio de Janeiro
Faith in his jab and hook got him where he is. Just... amazing.. no fancy movement.. no rush.. just pure joga bonito attitude 💯 however izzy is hating on this comment 😂😂
What a video, masterpiece
bro this is fkn dope
fam beautiful vid
Hey man very good clip, the only thing i hate about it is it could easily be longer with the last 2 fights :D
Thanks for make this video for us, very interesting 🙏. 🇵🇦📌
your thumbnail - "Poa Tan" reality - "Po Atan"
Amazing vid , keep it up 💚
The quality is elite!!!🔥
I worked with that dude red hat at the start that was laughing, real nice guy he was on intervention for his addiction.
Good content bro
Excellent job
That explains why I’m strong 💪
Damn, i really enjoyed this! Subbed :)
Nice doc bro
Damn this video was too good. Really well done. Easy sub from me.
I love these.
absolutely beautiful
4:00 that Left hook is his ancestors power being granted to him.
5:32 The image of Izzy with the Chinese flag over him and the Chinese flag on the screen behind him will haunt him always.
The first images off favelas isnt são Paulo, is rio de janeiro, you se The reedemer.
You left out the part where izzy knocked him out so alex can see his tribal ancestors.😂
The Goat!
Wow 😮, excellent
perfect video!
Im Brazilian, not many people knows Poatan here yet. For me he is a new generation national sport hero.
You weren't showing São Paulo, there's no sea in the city, that's propably Rio or Santos.
Santos doesnt have favelas
S'ao Paulo is a state that has sea but the city Sao Paulo has no sea thats true
@@user-ge9ce2yh5v yes, it's does, I lived there, brazilian borned and raised
@@rafaelannibale1697 yes, and Poatan is from São Bernardo do Campo, metro area of the city of São Paulo
@@micaelconcha5912 i'm brazillian as well. Even though where he lived was not a favela because a favela is an invaded space. His place was just like one
If Israel will come back to his condition maybe we'll have another amazing fight between them , Alex is all ready a legend and the new champ in the light heavyweight devision I think the matchup between them is the most interesting , both should fight for 2 belts , Sean Strickland has the other belt let's see what happens next ...jiri was good but got caught by Alex , Jan Blagojevich thinks he got robbed but he didn't Alex did more damage over all Alex beat 2 fighters that Izzy didn't including Sean , right now Alex has a great momentum....
Sou brasileiro e muita gente gringa não sabe, mas alex perdeu seu irmão para o crime, infelizmente no brasil muitos jovens da periferia acabam entrando nessa vida e o resultado é cadeia ou morte. Alex é um guerreiro❤
bro skipped what adasenya said about him whch motivated alex
@ElijahOxford hi I was just wondering if you still got monetized for the video with the footage you used from ufc, kickboxing etc. If so do you have a valid source. Thanks
subtitle: "são paulo, brazil" images: rio de janeiro lmao 🤣
In Brasil almost everyone have indigenous ancestors, include me. Poatan are literally the kinf of fighter that I was like to be.
When these foreigners show favelas it is always the one in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo in different
Nice story!!
Alex has the cleanest low calf kick ever. No fat no nothing
Alex reminds me of Grendel from the novel "Beowulf".. he is a scary tall monster
Let's remember , hard men are not only people with muscular bodies or who know how to fight phisically,. You can show your emotions, change gender, do whatever you want, this doesn't mean you are soft. Hard men are the ones who work, who are independent, who parent their children, who help people, who take care, who is emotionally healthy in his relations.
If a "hard man" changes gender... Doesn't he just become a phlacid female?
Oh shut up bro , strong men aren’t women lol it’s just not how it works , I get that you westerners have developed this “everyone can do whatever they want” mentality that has given a rise to vile things such as onlyfans , drug dealing all across places like America , no shaming resulting in people openly being degenerate etc
@@free_balloonsThere is a concept of a hard man
gay detected
the editing on this video is insane
That means hard times and hard men are next!
I´m brazilian, and just for the record, this Favela in the beginning of the video is not on São Paulo but in Rio de Janeiro. Both cities have it´s own favelas, poverty and struggle, but it is important to say that Alex come from São Paulo.
ESPETÁCULAR 👏👏👏🇧🇷
Great stuff, subbed!
You guys really need to learn some more geography. You start by getting it right with a shot of a favela in São Paulo (which is not exactly where Alex is from, but close enough), then proceed to immediately show Rio de Janeiro. I mean, you tried your best and I commend you, but for Brazilians watching it is cringe as hell... It's like beginning a story setting the sage in NYC then showing images from LA 🙄
very nice video - thanks for sharing
Nah dude. I`m brazilian. He posted some videos of his hometown and even though its not a favela, because poeple dont know this, favela is an invaded space. Where he lived was just like a favela.
This video rocks, great stuff
Wrong depiction Alex did not cry when he was born he had a stoic face
Poatan comes from the Tupi language - not Alex's native language of the Pataxó. 'Po' means 'hand' and 'Atan' means something solid, dense, stone-like.
wow!
🔥 XAMA
Damn rite
Great video ! Make one of Jiří Procházka!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
