Dana talking facts fu#k the stalling you’re not trynna fight at that point
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.
Yea I agree. Whether it was patience or confusing, a few times Poatan looked stalled
It's a 5 round fight and Roundtree was gassed way to early in fight. He hit Poatan with his best shots and wasn't able to capitalize. He was looking for the 1 hit and got out skilled with all stand up jabs and once he got put in the muay thai clinch it was over that's how Rountree got knocked out a few years ago.
Not disagreeing have no idea what this has to do with what I said
It ain't stalling if you figuring a fighter out. 2mins out of a 25min fight ain't long time.
End of the day Rountree got belt to put to a$s *pause* and was a great fight
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
Saw on X that he was Muslim, I guess I was told wrong
They need to stop interviewing the losing fighter after a beat down smh
Pereira be beating up on them bums. Dude had no head movement at all

Roundtree only a 3 round fighter. He had no experience in 5, then to fight in elevation. Salute to the guy. His stock only rises after this
I have no excuse for looking at Rocky's nud3s
Meisha Tate
Alexa Grasso
Hmmm ... Pena might be top 5 hottest female champions
Were you not entertained? Khalil likely stays around and has another shot at the belt maybe? Alex vs Ankalaev if he gets past Rakic. Great time to be Alex. Not saying his wrestling is weak or anything but he doesn’t have DC or Bones to have to test him. sh1t book Alex vs Aspinall at HW who isn’t watching that.
Alex vs Aspinall in July is the greatest fight possible.
2 monsters trying to kill each other, winner is the baddest man on the planet.
Is Asspinall brave enough (stupid enough) to try and stand with Poatan?
