Best fighter in the UFC
You don’t think the next man up gonna try it. Why on earth would they stand with him
He should fire his corner.
They should have thrown the towel in 2
minutes before it was stopped. The referee
should also be reviewed.
Aspinall is to big & skilled
Just thinking that..
I mean...Islam a bad muhfu#ka.
But Poaton really fight like somebody possessed by some damn ancient warrior or demon or somethin.
They overhype it a bit.......but dude really is intimidating.
I feel like we watched 2 diff fights lol. I'll rewatch but he was def targeting his eye with the jabs

i put this in the sports betting thread by accident...
the anime "Hajime no Ippo" is so real..
i just finished watching it on Netflix, and especially after seeing THIS fight.. that anime was fantasticly done.. the aftermath of fighting a champion is showing on Khalil's face, and that anime captures that perfectly..
if u want to see really good storytelling, i suggest y'all check it out..
They need to stop interviewing the losing fighter after a beat down smh
I think that's where Alex would be very vulnerable
The top of the top HWs are legit NFL defensive ends from a size standpoint and many of them have some speed agility athleticism that could match up against Poatan's striking arsenal
And once he gets sent to the ground it would be a different ballgame
If Alex is smart he'll stay @ LHW he'd have to get waaaay bigger/embark on some extensive wrestling training for some years before even seriously considering challenging for the title at HW
Last time Pereira was fighting a nicca on BX was swearing he could knock him out..
Ongod Poatan would send that nicca to the shadow realm
Rountree would’ve won if it weren’t for those cuts on his face. Perrera has a lot of obvious holes in his game — e.g. overzealous in exchanges, lets his guard down entirely when he goes for the kill, doesn’t operate as effectively fighting asouthpaw
But Perrera really has a presence about him that I know fighters feel and it makes them fight extremely cautiously.
Rountree’s a true threat in the division and lest we forget that Rountree was actually up 2-1 on the scorecards before he got finished.
Rountree had the right idea in looking for counters whenever Perrera would throw a calf kick or was feinting a high kick.
In the beginning of the 3rd round — maybe first 2 minutes — Perrerra actually seemed to be a bit clueless as to what to do to take Rountree out.
But then Rountree started to gas from relying on counter blitzes and the rest was downhill after that.
For the record, I thought this was going to be over in the first 3 minutes of round 1 with Rountree taking a “let’s get this over with” and charge blindly into a firefight with Perrerra until he got left hooked.
But nawe; dawg was really in it for the long haul and dropped Perrera twice and had him hurt a lot during the fight

I know people are just gonna glaze Perrerra but I think people really need to rewatch the fight and see how well Rountree was doing and had Perrerra perplexed for just a brief moment.
He’s Muslim, he is a changed man
Alex is Christian, nice try abdool
