Hahah, Ariel just needs to shorten his questions because theres no way his interpreter could remember all that

Yup. Khamzat wants to play the game calling out Burns at 185 so AP doing it at 205 is brilliant. 2 can play that game.

@@buu6956 he'd punch ur weiner off...

You must have forgotten who's been champ at middleweight... The last two guys before Adesanya were Robert Whitaker and GSP. You don't think they are humble guys? lol. The only champs that were constantly talking about their greatness were Adesanya and Rockhold (and even Rockhold didn't say that often) Also, Adesanya speaks in that regard to be inspirational, because it's where he needs his mind to be in order to be at his best. So.. the only champ that was a real arrogant person was Luke Rockhold. Even Bisping was less arrogant and more just had a chip on his shoulder. But I'd accept Bisping AND Rockhold as a real answer. I don't know who you're honestly talking about. lol. But I do agree with you, Alex has a very chill and straightforward vibe about him. I don't think poorly of Izzy though. Why would I? he's a good guy too, just louder. You think Alex doesn't imagine himself as being great? You have to be when you do a career like this.

Who are these guys you speak of

@@oggaming7362 uhh the previous champ obviously…and a whole bunch of prototypical fighters…I mean that’s how they typically promote them…by talking endlessly about their greatness in a sport where there’s a large degree of chance involved, it started to get really old. I prefer a down to earth champ. You need examples really? McGregor, adrsanya, bones, usman, most champs that get more than two defenses tend to have their heads float up in the clouds….at this point, with all the narcissism in the world right now, I find a down to earth champ a much better representative of martial arts, instead of marketing. The narcissists are good for short term marketing I suppose, they tend to make more money, but not good role models really imo

@@oggaming7362 How does Izzy's hubris inspire others?

@@stevedv629 I agree with you about Alex. I think you're exaggerating how many fighters, and more specifically champs, have legit narcissism. That's a very strong word. Jones, McGreggor... for sure I agree with you (but I wasn't aware you were talking outside the 185 division at first). I still think that you're greatly inflating your idea of two things: 1. That so many fighters are like this. 2. That it is SO bad that we should label it narcissism. You have to at least understand that these guys/gals HAVE to be full of themselves. Even Alex Pereira is. And so when you have them all speaking about how they feel, literally being asked by the media questions like, "How do you do this? Are you going to win? How will you win?" etc... You're going to get quite a few of them to answer along the lines of "Because I train harder. Because I'm better, I'm the best. I know what I can do, he/she can't handle me." etc.. All I'm saying is, I get where you're coming from for Alex. It is always nice to see a calm fighter/champ. But there's also nothing wrong with a fighter/champ that is openly admitting what is going on in EVEN Alex's head too! They all have to envision themselves as the best, unbeatable, have all the answers... etc. So on one end, you can criticize Pereira for kind of lying, to be fair. Because he's not honestly answering the questions. You can also admire him for deciding to leave that part of his thinking out. Neither type of person is a better person. And as far as legit narcissists and sociopaths in the UFC... few and far between, and I actually hate them a lot too. But don't let the Jon Jones and Conor McGreggors ruin your perception of all the rest that are just on a path of striving to be great at what they do!😊

Never had the feeling he’s not laid back actually just seems like a disciplined motivated and introverted guy. He’s probably nicer than everyone here in Germany constantly running around with a smile because they think they are always good. The real good guys don’t have to show they are good they act out of intuition, heart, experiences and intention imo

🤑

Yes, but Adesanya only got him because he intentionally pressured him more at the end of the round. And as Adesanya was fresh, is faster and better counter striker, Alex was hit. That hardly would happen in the midle of the round. It said, Adesanya throw the last punch of the first round after the bell.

It's weird how the translator almost gets more of the shine than the actual fighter itself in the comments on videos of these. Think that's kinda interestinf.

@@godsredeeminggrace1407 Good stuff bro, spreading that truth

Alex has zero grappling skills, we all saw that in his last fight. Khamzat is a world class wrestler who can take hits we saw that with the Gilbert burns fight, all it takes is one takedown for Khamzat and your boy won’t be able to get back up, he will get submitted and he knows that, and that is why he is making specific request to move up in weight where he is more comfortable and Khamzat is less comfortable, I’ve wrestled all my youth and a 5 pound difference is a lot let alone 20 pounds. I doubt Alex wants to lose his title that soon especially in his home country Brazil so he’ll duck that fight until his grappling is better which is fine.

Lol..style makes fight and alex got very weak wrestling. He gonna get taken down real fast and that's it. No power of Alex will help him from there.

You sound like me in this comment section, they definitely got alex Pereira confused. Dudes is a whole different beast.

And anybody who thinks Pereira ain't working on his ground game is foolish. Hes been working with the best of the best. If he goes into his next fight with a nice ground game and can defend himself towards it they're just gonna find somthing else to complain about. Out of all combat styles wrestling is the easiest thing to grasp, I just hope yalls "world class" wrestlers dont catch a big ass Brazilian knee trying to fight like a girl, These fighters better get there stand up game up to par playing with alex.. that's all I know.

@@AfroViking300 I have been practicing mma for 2 years now and wrestling is not easy. What u mean easy? The technique might be easy to learn but to execute and the strength required to maintain the position is challenging. You can get good over the time but it's really hard to get in the same level as someone who has done it for so long. The problem Alex faces is that his ground game won't catch up with the likes of kamzat who is a chain wrestler. Also talking about Alex striking, as elite as he is once someone threatens you with a take down it's hard for a striker to get on his rhythm or even maintain a rhythm. Burns had a really good ground game which made khamzat to get the fight standing but Alex doesn't have that and won't have that.

Learn to say "obrigado" thank you in English lol it's already your first word

Twice the champ izzy was. He doesn’t paint his fingernails and wack off to anime 💅 📺

This is just another example of Kumshot running his mouth for hype. He's "challenged" everyone and their dog to a fight, usually when they already have a fight booked or their injured, or retired (he called out DC, Mike Tyson, Brock Lesnar etc). He's a joke.

1000000%

I still would love to see Khamzat go for the belt. The best striker vs the best ground guy.

@@ryanb8736 He's not the best ground guy. He ragdolls guys who can't grapple, and gets them on short notice when they've had full camps for strikers. Burns is the only grappler he's fought, and he arguably lost that fight. Li and Holland are horrible grapplers and again, they didn't even get to have a wrestling camp.

Sadly, a lot of fans can’t see through Chimaev’s nonsense. Talked all that game about Paulo, then didn’t step up when they were in the same vicinity. At that point, everyone should’ve learned he ain’t about that life. Then the guy is forced to apologize about getting into a scuffle during Islam’s last fight.

He said he would fight Khamzat at 205 and not for the belt. Khamzat wants the belt. That’s why Khamzat said no. It’s not hard to figure it out. Above everyone’s head. Khamzat wants a title fight at 185. He wants Alex to cut down to 185 and put the title up for grabs. Alex only wants to cut to 205 and not fight for title. Alex isn’t stupid.
