Thank You !
Giving this man 4oz gloves was a terrible idea
Fighting this man is a terrible idea
Adesanya is going to be ko
We’ll see chicken dance
Hahaha best comment
Or was it the greatest idea ever?
You know you hit hard when you knock people out hitting their guard.
Vdd! O cara é ignorante!
That’s some final boss of the level type shit
1:12 that check kick thooo
his calmness is almost as intimidating as his skills and power. A talented man not simply physically, but the way his mind has control over his movement, timing, accuracy and sheer calmness.
Esse cara tem emoções iguais de uma geladeira... Totalmente frio
@@brazilianmmalegends bet
Yeah man he looks a professional assassin
Izzy would this dudes arse in mma
It’s kinda insane how calm he is. His power and tightness when he throws is impressive. He’s longer then the average fighter which is a huge advantage. If there’s a guy I wud want to immolate def him
The glory Double champ and now UFC double champ, POATAN 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
DONT FORGET GLORY HOF
For those who don't know, his nickname "POATAN" means "stone hand". Quite accurate.
Thats not true
@dabithakido i live in Tupi and "POATAN" means gynosanya killer
@@voiceofreason1829 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 bruh I went to read it again after the first time, processing it lmaoo made me actually LOL
That's gotta be one of the coolest nicknames I've heard
@@voiceofreason1829 lmao I wasnt expecting that, cannt lie
I dont get how he's literally flatlining guys with his left hook, he doesnt even load up much for it to make sense. It almost looks like he's just swining his arm and people straight up die from it. He's a very scary individual striker
So impressive. Long limbs + perfect technique.
left hooks are the most dangerous punch around, except maybe the overhand right. I'm orthodox and right handed dominant but my left hand will drop people just from slapping them.
He's actually winding it up if you pay attention to his hips and his feet. Also left hooks only need to graze the chin to knock somebody out cuz of the whiplash
@@overtblowfish4439 barely any wind up bro. it's honestly smooth as butter. scary
@@overtblowfish4439 i'm not sure i get your point. He "winds up" (still fast as hell) when he chooses to, he also punches without any telegraphing when he chooses to. It's a choice, not a skill problem (if that's what you meant). Many of his ko's come from incredibly fast and sneaky strikes after he overwhelmed the opponent with power.
He has unequaled strong punches both hands and legs, he is accurate, fast, decisive, well moving, strong chin and good mentality. He is also a great sportsman. All ingridients for a great champ.
Yea I just started watching the guy, and I agree with what u said. But iam curious, has he ever fought an opponent the same size? He legit looks like he's fighting kids at times.
MMA wish list: Left Hook of Alex Pereira Left High Kick of Mirko Cro Cop Right Leg of Edson Barbosa Chin of Mark Hunt Right Hand of Francis Ngannou
MMA Exodia
And covington pace
Stamina of Ferguson
Chin of blagoy ivanov for me...
Could be Condit's chin also...the rest is on point!
He’s in Glover Texiera’s team. If he can develop a good ground game and takedown defense to keep the bouts on the feet. He’s going to obliterate thru these middleweights. The universe gave us Izzy first and his nemeses second,
Most of the top guys in that weight class are not even great at wrestling. Brunson is good but has horrible transitions.
@@jesusiskingofkings4428 God is just as real as Lord of the rings
@@GalactusOG that’s why I think Pereira will thrive, that’s why Izzy is champ, that division is full of strikers with the exception of Brunson and Vettori and Izzy is the best striker that’s why he’s champ, this man could reach the top very quickly
Have you seen his fight with Quemuel Ottoni?
@Dr.Sir Bruce Armstrong Mother Fucker The Third true but they are not in that far up when it comes to title contention, I think they'll feed Perreira maybe 2 guys outside the top 15 and then throw him into a fight with someone like Costa, Whittaker, Till, Gaestelum someone with name value and rush him towards a title fight with Izzy
This guy has truly heavy hands. So composed at all times too
Heavy when they land but light while flying to target, masterful stuff.
Let's see if he can do mma first he 4 fights experience only
All top dogs are strikers in UFC, maybe Rockhokd or maybe Canonier could wrestle him.
Hands? His knees are torpedoes going up into your face - best coverage!
How would he do now against Israel?
Poatan is honest to God, built different. He hasn't been phased by a strike in like, 7 years on top of having power in everything. Add in that sneaky yet absolutely nuclear left hook and I'm just left thinking this is a human with an evolved skeleton or some shit.
That left hook looks like he tries it with 40 to maybe 50 percent power and it literally lifts guys off their feet.
@@sylasmalone6126 fr bro sometimes im like wtf that punch looked weak alex is insane
I saw an interview with him. He worked since the tender age of 12 in a tire shop fixing tires. He only stepped into an academy to train when he was 21 years old. He had a drinking addiction and thought that picking up a sport would help him quit. He became Champion in South America while still fighting alcoholism. He finally quit 4 years later and has been clean for the last 9 years. He was not built different, he was forged different.
@@eliasb8 Isso ai
@@eliasb8 you think it has anything to do with him having the genetics of the indigenous peoples of Brazil?
Wilnis: Pereira is just a boxer who is doing Kickboxing Also Wilnis: Gets knocked down by a headkick than KOd by a flying knee 😂
i think he wanted to prove something..... silly man!
fyi alex actually lost to jason wilnis twice once by tko the other by unanimous decision
@@lkywrlk8532 he got his revenge kinda like when rampage ko’d silva
Also wilnis: took Izzy in a decision that should've been a draw
Adesanya's fans are insane they don't accept that Alex Pereira beat Adesanya twice and even deny the reality that he was knocked out. For them Adesanya threw herself on the ground 🤡😂🤣
Alex Pereira in those MMA gloves is going send fighters to the shadow realm with his left hook
Maybe. On the other hand, Pereira might be sent to the shadow realm. And he won't be the first that came riding in on a tall horse. Only to ride out on a pony.
He already sent one here: 14:29
@@zutrue I dont think someone will be able to KO him on striking, if he's losing definitely will be by submission or by a ground and pound tko.
@@terminarestudos4433 middleweight division in ufc honestly sucks beside Israel all other fighters are not even decent. Whittaker is chinny,Costa has no stamina,Till has no fight iq,Vettori is a delusional fighter, Gastelum after the war with Israel has never been the same,Holland talks more than he fights,Brunson is chiny also one decent shot and he will get knocked down. I think Perreira has a very good chance on UFC considering what experience he has and his power is insane!!
@@draca8100 yeah... he's gonna run trough them all. Him vs Israel is an awesome fight tho
1:08 holy crap, he eats a huge uppercut like it´s nothing, checks a low kick after that, which hurts his opponent, which he senses, swarms him and finishes him, wow
I'm disappointed that I'm just learning about this guy. He has some of the best knockouts I've ever seen! His Right Knee to the body and Left Hook are devastating! He's gonna fuck Sean Strickland up this weekend. Thanks for making this OP. Stellar work.
I think Sean is gonna out wrestle him to be honest win by UD
the fight will be strickland trying to get the fight to the ground, and Poatan being Poatan, hitting one ton punches, but Strickland is not this good in ground figth anyway, and poatan is in the glover teixeira gym, and probably he got the experience to contourn this.
i'm here after the fight, and, oh boy, strickland got smoked
Well it took 2 minutes. Just wow the experience in striking this guy has. Doesn't even seem powerful but knocked Strickland tf out.
@@Ryanshroom Strickland got wrecked, but it's alright, we all get our predictions wrong sometimes.
for a more balanced competition they should nerf his left hook
My favorite KO is the one on Gynosanya!!
izzy detractors are everywhere like vermin smh
That left hook makes them shift. Scary.
@@vipr1142 just saying but alex also appears to have gyno here 9:53 , you can see it when he raises his arms
@@BidoMaggot No, it's just a little bit swollen because he made Gynosanya suckle on his tit before he KO'd him!
That left hook in MMA gloves would knock people into another dimension
It did already, the last fight in this highlight was at MMA and the opponent stayed unconscious for about 5 minutes, it was quite scary cause ppl started worrying he might be dead.
@@DakonBlackblade2 after waking up he asked "I was fighting?" He got knocked out so bad he didn't even remembered where he was and what was he doing, literally movie shit right there
@@thesilentassassin1167 wow imagine getting knocked into last week like that. Scary stuff.
Not everyone.
it just did lol
I’ve been watching this guy for a long time and I think he’s the best and most dangerous striker on the planet right now
wtf man, he has the vibe of a cyborg ..... defeating everyone while staying so firm on his feet... that amazing
The way the commentator says "that might be it" after Belgaroui quite literally drops dead cracks me up.
I can't with the ref giving Belgaroui a 10 count, the man was astral traveling so much he had a permanent smile on his face, it is super funny.
Man I love Pereira. He is sooo different than all the other kickboxers. Looks so easy and relaxed. Tall and skinny but oh so deadly. Love from Holland
Skinny? Hell no
Tall and lean is more precise he’s not skinny.
Hello man! from Holland, the kingdom of kickboxing and western thay boxing.
I hope he will beat that arrogant a-hole Israel Adesanya! My only concern for him is that he might not have the wrestling and ground game that is necessary to be a champion in the UFC since everybody is going to try to tie him up and take him to the ground because they know he is a deadly stand-up fighter! If I am on his coaching staff I would have him trained heavily in wrestling and grabbling because that is where his opponents are going to try to fight him with.
He ain’t skinny he only looks that way because he’s very tall with long arms.
Bro has a 15 minute ko compilation jeez
Man his left hook is something different
The dude is a sniper rifle ! His striking is precise, sharp and powerful ! Just beautiful ! I cant wait to see him fight Izzy for the 3rd time !
The best left hook in combat sports today
Alex just makes them drop dead. You wouldn't expect someone to be able to generate that power with their lead hand
Legit think every knockout was a left hook, I was waiting for that shit everytime
His energy transfer is godly that’s why. Mans technique is beautiful
Conor lad, come on now.
@@KeyserSoze23 as in mcgregor? Dawg, I gotta disagree with that one bro
Here after his UFC debut, have to say, i am interested in seeing this man moving forward
Me too. I think this dude is going to destroy some middleweights. If he sorts out his takedown defense god the help the division. So many weapons and scary power.
Shane he is already mid 30s
😁Yessss
This guy is savage
Casual
Alex looks like "SAGAT"!!
9:47 he looks so happy... flying in a wonderfull world 😃🤩
The best striker we ever produced here in Brazil. Hope he can perform well in MMA and you guys enjoy.
I don't know if he is better than a prime Anderson
@@Chakkaly it would be a good match up for sure
Alex's accuracy with his power shots is insane. Never seen anything like that
@@Chakkaly Anderson was pure magic, but i think Alex bring a few more things. Not just in the fisic aspect, but in technic as well.
@@Chakkaly in terms of pure striking accolade yeah but Anderson was just fucking magic
I know he just signed the contract but no doubt Pereira's gotta have the best lead hook in all of UFC. Obviously there are several fighters with nasty left hands like Connor, Valentina, Izzy etc. but all of those fighters are south paw. This guy is sending people to the shadow realm with his WEAK hand. Crazier part is that it doesn't even look like he's loading up on those punches.
Some people use their strong hand as their lead/weak hand, I think that's the case with Alex. Two years from now the MMA community is going to want to ban that left hook lol
Izzy isnt a southpaw
@@Taniera ikr he’s a switch smh
his left arm hook is his dominant smh
The best left hook in all kickboxing, never mind the UFC
What a sportsman and a stud. Dude very quickly recognizes when it's over (save for Izzy) and just walks away, knowing it's finished. Hot damn... Hats off to this man.
I know he's a kickboxer and not Muay Thai but this dude reminds me of Sagat...
I was thinking this also😂 real life Sagat
@@dwnpour4122 Sagat was based on the Sagat Petchyindee from Thailand...

Then followed up w the knee lol man got debunked

he was underestimating alex cause he beat him twice and then get knocked out
@@timothykhiangte5323 he must of koed him to twice to be so cocky right?
@@timothykhiangte5323 exactly its on record jason wilnis actually beat him twice
that left Izzy took was far more devastating than everything he has taken in the UFC
And it seems that this technique inspired Izzy. He was using very similar strike to get his KO's on Whittaker & Costa, he also landed same one on Jan, it stunned him, but he was able to eat it.
He sure was on wobbly street when he took that head kick from kelvin
@@ripevanwinkle494 Kelvin also dropped him on the cage
@@botondbakos5954 yeah he got wobbled a couple of times

he foresaw the end, but was sad that was the end.
So composed. Dude is in control at all times.
That KO of Israel is brutal AF. I loved it.
Neverrrrr…..Izzy was whopping his ass he just had no stamina
@@tysavagegambino9907 "He would've won if he didn't get knocked out"

Might see them fighting by the end of next year…
@@tysavagegambino9907 lmao thanks for the smile
You have to kick incredibly hard to break someones arm like that. He has the perfect fighting frame.
this guy landed a very short uppercut while defending takedown in the UFC debut it looked like a very light attack but it broke the other guy's orbital bone, I was like what?
That was the most insane part to me, even more crazy than the flying knee ko. Literally a light clinch strike while defending a takedown broke the dudes orbital bone, that is insane power.
That guy is a phenomenal striker one of the best ive ever seen wow that left hook is devastating
Legend has it this guy knocked out luke rockhold simply by signing his ufc contract
nobody gonna talk about how he checked the kick at 1:09 when he was under attacked? dude is so lethal, no wonder he's Israel's nemesis.
That was amazing even under attack 😳
Did the same thing to Israel in UFC. Lead to the finishing sequence
Reincarnation of all those old K1 warriors from the 90's and early 2000's. Rogan wasnt kidding about this guy. Real deal.

Oh my god, please.
@@chuckiedoesyourmom may the mma gods bless us with this fight soon
Jiri wins
@@Mrdimples lool okay
@@Mrdimples it'd certainly be close as hell.
What a talent. His power seems unreal and his left hook is so advanced
He has one of the best left hooks I’ve ever seen
He strikes different comparing to everyone else. Looks like at last second of the punch, he somehow involves shoulder movement as powers increase. Same with his kick, uses hips at the last second to explode power. I’m not a fighter, but I can see a difference in a striking I barely seen before. Conor sometimes throws similar strikes with that shoulder involving, like a side hook.
Good observation
Yes sir, kinetic energy. Toes, Ankles, Knees, Hips, Shoulders, Elbows, Wrists. All simultaneously firing to generate more power and "whip" to strikes. Years of drilling and the buildup of calcium in the knuckles to handle the load on fists and wrists.
@@JA-ru3il most probably you have some fighting knowledge. That’s interesting. All I have is an eye for something different
Perfect timing! Right after his announcement with the ufc
That left hook is God given. It's got the whip action that brings that extra snap and power to his left hook. It's beautiful
7:54 who even saw that on camera? Dude is a cyborg. 🤷🏻♂️👌🏼
This guy is like a real life Tong Po. I love it.
The Brazilian commentators at the start are 100% the highlight of this video. Sure this guy’s got mean power but those commentators were awesome, I want them to commentate every fight and I don’t even speak Portuguese. I only made them out saying “CASTIGA CASTIGA CASTIGA” which means “PUNISH PUNISH PUNISH”
One of them sounded like joey diaz

Alex Pereira is Sagat from Street Fighter came to life.
9:22 The KO punch was disgusting & the sound
everyone talks about pereira's K.O. against izzy, but i haven't heard anyone saying he already had defeated him before, by points. He outpointed and then knocked the shit out of adesanya in a rematch, I'm very anxious to see how he's going to do in the UFC.
To be fair their first fight was close af and could have gone either way some people think it was a robbery
izzy had alex on the ropes both fights 2-1 first fight 2-0 second fight alex was even given a 8-count break smh alex has izzy beat twice on record but by no means were those wins flawless victories alex will not have the insurance of 10 count breaks in the ufc nor will he be protected by heavy ounce gloves either stop spreading false narratives

Loading that fascia. Great video ,thanks.
What a talented striker! and the mixture of that and Glovers guidance on the ground game (and ufc experience) is probably the most scariest combination i have ever seen. And is well spoken and respectful on top. More power to you champ 😎👍
Pereira knocked out huge fighters with boxing Gloves on, can you imagine, it must be killing punch if he wears 4 ounces Gloves...
O apelido dele é "Poatan", que significa "Mãos de Pedra" na língua Tupi (tribo indígena que habita as florestas do Brasil)
10:13 Jesus man, the power on the kick. He doesn’t even wind up on it, just straight off the hip.
Don’t use GOD’S Name in vain.
Looks like that left hook of his is just nuclear!
What the hell. Watching fightsports for about 20 years, it is the first time someone scares me through the screen. A Cold killer wirh perfect balance, power and timing. No emotions on his face.
That left hook may be the best or most effective in all of combat sports
Roy jones jr takes that title
All these knockouts are amazing
his hooks are silently murderous... this guy is literally a Tekken character
He’s made out of wood and when he touches you guys go flying. Incredible!
This guy is gonna own the light heavyweight Division for years to come in the UFC! He's now a UFC fighter
You mean middleweight?
the scariest part of that is that guy has 1.94 and said already multiple times he EASILY can cut to 185.... I dont think anyone in both division, MW and LW ( Jiri maybe, but takes so much damage, probably would be knocked out too) can strike with him, but hes not the best mma fighter, I can imagine he tapping to a solid grappler... hes top 3 kickboxer all time, thats why a think no one can. and he has evolved so much from Adesanya man, he started training with 23 years... that man rn is much much better, trust me.
@@ancestraljns1747 I think Yan could strike with him.
Alex Pereira is very similar to izzy in fighting style and physical attributes the only thing that makes Alex more dangerous is his crazy power especially the gaming changing left hook he throws so effortlessly plus in his 4 mma fights he has improved his Takedown defense very quickly and is training with Glover Texeria who is one of the best bjj guys in mma I think he can be champ in ufc
I think glover was one of the best fighters of his era when it came to mixing striking and grappling, i hope he can turn Alex into a monster
Mma stricking and kickboxing are not the same though. Different gloves different range. He ko'd izzy in the pocket as izzy was going for the kill. In contrast izzy in the ufc snipes people from the outside. He is clearly very good and he is in a shallow division like middleweight but I feel like being in the ufc at 3-1 might be too early. All that aside I'm excited about his debut
@@freeyoungthug4965 Its lighter gloves in the UFC and he knocked out Izzy. You good?
@@isabelarneson6377 yeah but the way the fight was playing out until the knockdown and the sniping style izzy has adopted in the ufc are very different which means it ain't that simple to predict and I think we might have a good fight in our hands
@@freeyoungthug4965 it’s smart to mention that ciryl gane entered the ufc as a much less experienced kickboxer and muay nak then Alex p or Izzy with only a 3-0 record, now he is in talks for title contention

What a chin... I see him absorb some huge strike and nothing...
When he’s set to make his ufc debut, Izzy probably thinking like “😨😰😥😓😳😶🌫️”
O Famoso pai do Adesanya
Ok I'm impressed.
this is brilliant! I like to see this video every week, it never gets boring
Finally Poatan is getting the attention he deserves, this man can easily become middleweight champ by beating Adesayna, hardest part will be getting through everyone that comes between the ranks such as Whittaker, gastelum, etc... but I believe he will become champ just like he did in Glory 🤴🤴
So basically get through what Izzy done and he can face him? Making it sound like your bois got no chance in even seeing my boi eye to eye
@@mrpohatu6953 dont worry once Poatan knocks everyone out otw to the top, and Poatan gets the chance to fight Adesayna, your boi will see pitch black just like he did last time
@@alboeski683 I doubt it, Izzy was shitting on Alex but rushed the finish. I doubt he will make the same mistake and his striking has levelled up so we will see.
@@alboeski683 l doubt that Adesanya will lose to this guy again. And in fact prior to the KO Adesanya was winning their last fight. And even if he did lose he can still say he was the CHAMP. And not many will ever to say that.
@@JustSomeGuyWithAMustache886 Pereira still knocked him out and it wasnt a fluke. Also that variation of Poatan was just a pro boxer with basic kickboxing skills and good knees, now Pereira is a complete kickboxer with every tool in his arsenal practically mastered.

Our Sagat from Brazil \m/
Kickboxing is the most violent sport, more so than MMA, because of the lack of the ability to rest while grappling. And without the fear of being taken down, everything is thrown with bad intentions.
Cheers for compiling this 👍🏽
This dude beats Adesanya 9/10. Doesnt need a ground game imo. He has trigger knee's, and boulders for hands!! Dudes made of Iron!
Izzy needs ground game to beat him.
Yeah but I wouldn't say 9 but 7. The thing is people say that Izzy has improved leaps and bound maybe in his TKD and grappling but not in his Kickboxing, dude was fighting smaller fighters with not even a decent level of kickboxing meanwhile Pereira was fighting elite kickboxers that the world has to offer in Glory and still casuals think that bobbing and weaving Marvin Vettori and Costa makes Izzy invincible and say that he would beat Alex without much trouble, all the while he would fight a Kickboxing fight if they ever fight again.
12:36 feels like Pereira and the time keeper made an arrangement before that fight 😆
god, that left hand is the stuff of nightmares, doesnt even load up that much, short delivery, but oh so crisp and accurate. i cannot fathom how he generates so much power from what looks like just a short hook. would love to learn from him.
A lot more powerful than stylebender 👀
love the hype train pereira has amassed since signing, going to hopefully do great things in his debut
10:30 the same knee that finished his fight in his ufc debut.
Nice to see some context in his fight v Adesanya, in that he was getting lit up then landed that KO blow on izzy
Yea he beat him twice though
@@highestqualitypigiron I heard izzy was robbed in the first fight. which probably lead to him going for a KO instead of sniping the whole fight.
