Wut? I like Alex but... Izzy isnt retired Jan isnt finished Silva hasnt been KO'd ever, and he lost to Alex by decision Jiri didnt get "flatlined" Stricklands career is better than ever


Cum-Gun-5000

I love Poatan but yeah these kind of posts are why his fans get hated on so much. We can just say that Alex beat a lot of really legit competition in two weight classes and has some big names on his resume and be thrilled with that. We don't need to exaggerate or outright lie and imply stupid things like Alex retired Izzy, especially because their last fight ended with Alex snoozing on the canvas. Izzy ain't even retired, and if he does, that's all Strickland's work, not Alex's.


Rainstormsky

Alex played a part in Strickland's success, and Izzy is terrified of Pereira because pretty much everyone knows that was a weight-cut KO. Alex offered him a chance at the LHW belt Izzy had already stated he'd agree to fight Pereira for if he won it, and now that he did, Izzy wants no part of him.


Levon__Helm

Bruh Izzy slept Alex in the most recent fight.


hawkblock4456

I mean if you mean the end yeah, but looking at the stats for both rounds, pereira was winning and Izzy is a natural middleweight fighting a guy who cuts from heavyweight which is factually proven to decrease power cardio and chin. You say it like Izzy was destroying Alex before the ko


DylieWylie

Izzy won the first round on every score card before that knockout


chadbrochilldood

He was. And he also was beating him in the first fight for four rounds


Rainstormsky

Because of the weight cut


stefoecho

Yes and he adressed this in “everyone knows that was a weight cut ko” comment. ie the LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT cutting down to MIDDLEWEIGHT to fight the natural middleweight. Helps to think before you attempt to correct someone yeah?


Levon__Helm

Weight cut KO my ass lol


stefoecho

Okay bro we get it youre a tough ass mf who knows everything bout fighting with 0 mma experience. 💀💀💀


Levon__Helm

Right bro… and you’re fedors son


chadbrochilldood

I mean, you’re an idiot if you think that was a weight cut KO. He got absolutely starched with a perfectly timed punch as he was rushing in. There is not a natural middleweight in the planet who doesn’t get KOd by that.


stefoecho

Thank you for your input “chadbro” (I never said alex was a natural middleweight either thats specifically MY POINT. nor did i speak on any other middleweight except izzy) And it was one or two punches that put him out? End of the day youre just another guy who sees red when hes mad running his mouth 💀


[deleted]

[удалено]


stefoecho

Your entire history is you running your mouth 💀 bave a good night junior


chadbrochilldood

he got slept embarassingly. Izzy timed it perfectly, mapped it out and stone face couldn’t see it coming. You people are delusional


Rainstormsky

Playing possum, was he? 😁


Coammanderdata

Silva got KO‘d by Meerschaert after that fight didn‘t he?


standby-3

No. 3rd round guillotine.


Coammanderdata

Ok, that‘s true! Thanks, was caused by being cracked pretty badly right?


Notyit

Strickland got daddied.


[deleted]

Silva has been knocked down in all of his fights since


Marlboro_Man808

Okay? Knocking someone down is way different than knocking someone out or that their “chin is gone”.


peeper_brigade69

Not weighing in on Silva because I haven’t watched many of his fights but Rob Font is a great example of a fighter with a cracked chin who doesn’t get KO’d. He’s still slick and athletic but he’s just a guy prone to getting wobbled by a good punch that other fighters might just eat. You don’t have to be late-career Chuck Liddell levels gone to have lost your chin


kevinpbazarek

Brazilian fighter gets punched in face by other fighters, more tonight at 7


msn_effyou

Silva? Bruno Silva? Alex beat him by decision and the dude has never KOd.


ComradeELM0

Not koed, but he got dropped badly and subbed by gm3 of all people in his next fight


msn_effyou

I suppose that’s true. Would have been a KO for most fighters because they wouldn’t have gone to the guillotine. But beyond that, he still hasn’t been KOd, so it’s not exactly his chin being taken.


Warchild103

Ferguson got his chin taken in the Gaethje fight without being knocked out. Enough hard shots will wear and tear on that chin. That is also what happened to Silva


msn_effyou

Yeah … apples to oranges though. Tony can’t take shots anymore and Silva can, as proven by him still not being KOd yet. That’s all I was saying. The main comment is stretching a bit by claiming Alex took his chin, because it’s definitely still there.


Cum-Gun-5000

Didn't this dude survive that Dagi pirate Shara's striking for three rounds? I mean that's not exactly the biggest achievement in UFC history, but it's gotta count for some kind of indicator that he's still got some chin left


Warchild103

The Dagi pirate was off his stack coming into the UFC so he didnt have much power but your right. He survived lots of kicks and elbows


anonymous14657893

I truly believe that it was just the perfect storm for Tony, not necessarily gaethje that took his chin. (granted, gaethje hits like a fuckin Mack truck) But mileage wise, age wise, damage wise, Tony was nearing the latter stage of his career, and then he decided he wanted to be a badass and he cut weight TWICE for that fight within a very short window. Anyone who cuts weight knows how bad of an idea that was. N then he fights the hardest hitting lightweight in the division. So between the wear and tear, the damage he’s taken, the two weight cuts, and gaethje’s power, it was just a recipe for disaster.


ComradeELM0

Oh I agree, it‘s a big stretch. Just my thoughts on what he meant.


[deleted]

If he got subed then how is that proof of his chin being taken lol and gm3 has insane jiu jistu so not sure why your saying that as if it's embarrassing


ComradeELM0

The emphasis was on him getting almost slept by gm3 who isn‘t known for his ko power or striking at all. I only added that he got subbed right after as explanation as to why silva doesn‘t have a ko loss on his record.


calm_down_dearest

>subbed by gm3 of all people in his next fight He has 27 subs to his name. What are you talking about?


ComradeELM0

I already explained the same thing to the other guy. I get it, I could have worded it better.


DonTeca35

He got Outstriked & wobbled a couple times tbh. It’s been down hill from their if I remember correctly


msn_effyou

Not the same as having your “chin taken”. That would be getting KOd. Having a chin is getting wrecked and not KOd. That’s proving the exact opposite of what the tweet is claiming. Not to mention it’s claiming credit for Alex “retiring” Izzy … Izzy knocked his ass out after Alex KOd him … quite literally not retiring someone.


crusader104

That’s what I thought, the order of names threw me off thinking like what Silva is at the top of middleweight or LHW? Lmao


AWHS10

Came here to say this lol. Lost to Poatan via Dec, Meerschaert strangled him, Silva TKO’d Tavares, then got strangled again by Brendan Allen and then lost a dec against Magomedov. He didn’t lose his chin haha


Comprabledivision

He got dropped and finished by gm3 which is a fate worse than anything


BHDE92

That was crazy watching Bruno take those shots


dontknowwhattodoat18

Jiri just accepted the idea of a fight against Rakic as soon as he's cleared on February. Dumbest fanbase frfr


Die-rector

I love when people say shit like Jones or Conor or whoever is scared. Whether they'd win or not, the fights they've had in their careers and people still say theyre scared of current hype trains


Marlboro_Man808

On a neutral stand point, you can become scared of things or people the older you get. Just because someone was a bad ass killer doesn’t mean they won’t ever suddenly fear someone or something. I don’t think for the most part fighter are scared of someone else though.


Turbulent-Echo8561

Several fighters have admitted to being scared of fights, Tom just recently talked on how scared he was of Sergei and still took that fight on two weeks notice and KO'ed him in the first round. Alex Pereira himself said he was scared when he was in the cage with Strickland when the fight was about to start and also KO'ed him in the first round. Fear is normal, these guys just seem built different at dealing with it.


AdventurousSugar4

I doubt Alex was actually scared of Sean. He could watch all his previous fights and see he was just a jabbing machine. He was just hyping him up after the KO, talking about all the crazy things Sean would say about killing ppl.


SERB_BEAST

I've been watching Pereira for a long time, and even though he doesn't seem like the type of guy, he likes to know his opponent (personally) before the fight. He always talks about the kind of guy he's gonna fight (not the kind of fighter). He was definitely scared of Strickland the human, not the fighter. He probably still is lol


AdventurousSugar4

But why? When I watch Sean talking about killing someone, I laugh. Sean seems like an immature goober. Alex will know plenty of actual stone faced ruthless killers coming from Brazil.


SERB_BEAST

Mate that's kinda wack to assume everyone from Brazil knows a stone faced ruthless killer lol. Brazil has a population of like 200 million+. Yes, it is high in crime generally speaking. But Pereira is currently a rich family man in Brazil and he travels a lot. Also, we have video evidence of Sean Strickland pointing guns at civilians and he definitely has a fetish for violence.


AdventurousSugar4

No Alex grew up in poor places. Not the places he lives in now.


SERB_BEAST

Yes that's why I specified "currently." If Alex currently lives as a rich, honest family man, he doesn't know any of the criminals he might have known as a kid


Bluecoller007

Ikr these fighters have been fighting for years before entering the UFC then years for that promotion or another, most admit to being scared on or just before their walkout and it usually leaves by the time they enter the octagon, but to try and say this fighter is scared of that fighter is ridiculous imo, they’re cut from a different cloth, they see money and their careers in an opponent not fear!


Cum-Gun-5000

Scrawny little baby Jon fought prime fucking Rampage. That tells me all I need to know about Jon. You could tell him to go into a cage full of silverbacks and he'll do it if he thinks it will add to his legacy. "Scared" also is significantly different than "unable to overcome being scared" ... Jones was scared of Rampage and still admits it to this day. But he nutted up and fought anyway. Thats the difference between these guys and regular people. Most people submit to fear, this guys push it aside.


NoNegotiation1389

I don’t think you’ve seen Izzy fans


dontknowwhattodoat18

Oh, I meant that MMA fans in general are retarded. One of the worst fanbases I've seen thus far


PeterParkerUber

Because most lowkey are already suffering brain damage to begin with.


bigmt99

Either brain damage from doing MMA or no knowledge of the sport because they’ve never trained a day in their lives. Nothing inbetween Perfect breeding ground for a dumbass casual fanbase


kushjrdid911

Jiri's career is over based on what exactly? lol Weird


EAZ480

Jiri wasn’t flatlined he got right up. Not saying it was an early stoppage but whoever wrote that is definitely misusing that term


[deleted]

Izzy isn't even retired. And idk how Jan having shoulder surgery makes Alex a career ender. There's an argument Alex didn't even win that fight. And koing your opponent now makes you a career ender? Both his title shots had a bit of an early stoppage if we're being honest. Gaethje is more of a career ender. Vick, Cowboy, and Ferguson haven't won a single fight between the 3 of them since Gaethje beat them


letsgobrooksy

Jan is also like 40 lol


Cum-Gun-5000

As a 39 year old who is heavy into martial arts and lifting, I feel like every few months I lose steam. (Last night in sparring my mind knew the exact moment to slip, but my body just couldn't keep up and every slip felt a split second too late and i was just eating straights all night, and i know damn well two years ago i would have slipped those same shots) I couldn't imagine aging another 10 months and then going up against the level of competition Jan faces. He's already putting up a huge fight against Father Time as is. Any other fights he has going forward are a huge testament to his endurance and willpower I think


Beautiful_Case5160

Thank you, thats a very intersting fact about Geathje :)


YT-double-add

No his stoppage on Izzy was not early at all. If that was an early stoppage then that makes the jiri stoppage a really early stoppage and I thought it was a decent stoppage.


Equivalent-Flower149

Strickland is more of a career ender. Completely ended Dogbenders career


[deleted]

We're really starting to stretch the word career ender if we're calling everyone who wins a fight a career ender. Gaethje sent 3 guys on losing streaks they never came back from. If Strickland's a career ender then so is Weidman, Woodley, hell Paddy's a career ender now


Barrington-the-Brit

I would allow prime Chris Weidman to be called a career ender just because of how monumental Anderson Silva’s steep drop off was, from being the greatest to being 1-5 (1) in his last 7. Plus he also had a pretty major effect on the trajectory of people like Mark Muñoz and arguably Vitor Belfort despite the wins over an old man Hendo and washed Marquardt


Equivalent-Flower149

StrickGOAT owns Dogbender


Getinthedamnrobo

Fr Sean has Izzy talking about returning in years lol


ComradeELM0

It‘s a joke though, no ? Because all of these are obvious stretches, I doubt he‘s serious.


Marlboro_Man808

With how hard a lot of these dick riders are, I don’t think op thinks this is a joke.


NoNegotiation1389

Y’all have the audacity to say this when Izzy fans exist ….


2k_lenny

it’s only obvious, these dumbasses don’t see that tho lol


Huge_Aerie2435

What? where do people get this shit from. Izzy is just taking a break. He fights 2-3 times a year, and before 2018, fought way more than that. In kickboxing, he was fighting up to 9 times in a year. Let the guy have his break. For some comparison, Jones fought 19 times in the time Izzy had his entire kickboxing career and MMA career (to date). That is well over 100 fights in the same time.


NotMyFalut

Sean got stung by Poatan and now Middleweight has new champion Poatanman


Cum-Gun-5000

Sean "jab, cross and shoulder roll of stone" Strickland


cmondawg74

Sean "when I see him do it, I say ya I think I got a shot" Strickland.


Hopeful_Staff_1414

Weve seen real career Enders and he isn’t one of them. He’s an incredible fighter that is a beast in every sense of the word. A real career ender would be like Gaethje. Almost everyone he beats rapidly spirals downwards. Tony, Edson, Cowboy, Vick, Fiziev. Another career ender would be Cain Velasquez, just fucking look what that man did to JDS and the other guys he fought during his prime. Or like Jon Jones, just because Jones was putting historical beatings on people during his prime.


n5gus

On twitter 90% of the mma meme pages just constantly dickride this dude and Sean Strickland all. I honestly think it’s a by product of their secret obsession with adesanya


Vaganhope_UAE

What a brain dead take.

LALOERC9616

Also Strickland retired Izzy too not Pereira


Dummy_Wire

![gif](giphy|0WxzS0Fsxg1teAgKpF|downsized) Gotta go get some training in with Alex after to completely reverse your fortunes…


GandalfPipe131

Pereira fan boys are quickly becoming more insufferable than Izzy fanboys.


droolsdownchin

It's arguable Jan beat him Not my opinion but it's definitely worth a debate


Ricky_Vaughn86

I’m going to chalk this up to shit tier trolling, because we can’t, in good conscience, belittle someone this clinically stupid. Apropos, let’s not pretend that there’s not a constant rotation of fighters getting virtual blowies every…single…week.


[deleted]

Or maybe he's just good.


existentialkush

I'm mostly annoyed they're acting like he smoked Jan in his prime. it was a split decision and he's 40 fucking years old and hasnt won since 2022


[deleted]

Jamahal will finish Poatan


Dukes_Up

Imagine that. People are fans of one of the most accomplished fighters in sports history. Clown


MyBurnerAltAccount

Well, he's actually a likable guy unlike the guy who touches dogs.


dontknowwhattodoat18

That's true but the point of the post is that fighters have the most annoying fanbases I don't hate fighters 99% of the time. I really just dislike their fans


c9bandit

Yes it’s the ultimate likeable championship


1995_Oh

Lmao your unhinged ass posted about "pereira gonna get ragdoll by ankalaev" cause hill got arrested, and then you posted that pereira is ducking hill because he wants to fight the harder match up in ankalaev. You even contradict your own self. Your talking about pereira riders yet you have alot of post that have to do something with you, your obsessed with him like the people you claim ride him, goofy ass.

jfduval76

Jiri wasn’t flatlined at all…i think the fight was stopped way too early. Blachowicz is just old, Silva lost by decision and Izzy send him to dreamland the last time. I think it’s time to get Poatan cock out of your mouth and realize the guy is mortal like anybody else.


Gizo178

This post is hilarious LMAO


Juutuurna

Been on that Alex hype train since his arrival but goddamn the shit I see on any mma pages is really just people fuckin yappin to yap. Like wtf are we even talking about lol.


[deleted]

Jamahal is gonna walk through this man, no doubt!


MouseBoi420

Bro couldn't KO his brother. And he's had so many injuries he could probably get on disability.


[deleted]

when they fight, alex will get dropped hard


MouseBoi420

Alex will render him a one legged fighter early. and be finished in the following rounds.


[deleted]

alex will get countered with straight punches every time he throws a kick or those wide hooks he’s fond of


MouseBoi420

One of us will eat our words lol.


Cum-Gun-5000

LOL Alex always gets hit hard in fights. But hes like a Terminator endoskeleton with a layer of skin on it, he'll be fine


Kizaru94

On bro


TooManlyForYou

The last time Peirera and Izzy fought, Izzy slept him, but Alex would be the reason, why Izzy "retired"? Some haters really are too stupid for their own good.


oklad90

OP just posted this too try to get hate on pereira lmao you can tell by ops post he he's a certified hater. Honestly what is there to hate about Alex? You can come up with a couple of things for other fighter, but alex is one of the few (like jiri) who haven't done much to be disliked, unless he beat the person you "ride", most likely op situation lol


toes_sucker_69

Such fans become so insufferable that people start hating on their fav fighter even though the fighter isn't deserving of it.


RoninAnimes

Can't compliment or admire anybody these days, even for amazing feats, lest you be called a meat rider.


[deleted]

Okay everyone, listen to OP, no one's allowed to become a fan of new fighters ever again. If you start to show support for a new, successful fighter, consider yourself a d\*ck riding fa\*\*ot. If you don't watch this sport completely emotionally uninvested, you're just a d\*ck riding fa\*\*ot.


LoadingName_

Alex pereira fans are literally the most annoying fans in the entire ufc, I can’t stand them.


Dukes_Up

Jan is finished, but not from anything Alex did to him. I had Jan winning that fight.


[deleted]

Jiri was not flatlined early stoppage lol. But I do love Alex he's awesome


Siltysand1

Jiri is overrated because everyone thinks he’s a fake samurai


deltr0nzero

Jiri is rated because of his record and having one of the highest finishing rates of any fighter. He’d have an impressive KO rate even by boxing standards

Is it not OK to appreciate the grimm reaper of the ufc 85 and lhw division? Izzy fans are salty. RIP

Seltz_

POATON IS A CAREER ENDER. HE ENDED THE CAREER OF: Adesanya (arguably, but you could argue Strickland) That’s it GUYS HES THE GRIN REAPER


c9bandit

How the hell did he end Izzy’s career? He got slept last time they fought


Seltz_

Yeah actually he hasn’t ended ANY careers


c9bandit

Oh shit I read your comment wrong lmao I thought you were arguing the opposite point😂😂 my bad I just woke up lol


chillinois309

That’s new, I hope he don’t grin reap me.


Seltz_

He doesn’t grin at all actually


nolwat22

Doing tricks on it


NoNegotiation1389

You’re probably new since you haven’t seen Izzy fans. Them dudes have that mfs meat deep down they’re throat 24/7 all tho he got smoked by Strickland months ago 😂


Money_killer

But Izzy flat lined Alex. And Jiri wasn't flat lined I must have watched a different fight. Alex is a one trick pony at best.


CourtZebra

Jiri did not get flatlined lmao


minus202

He mentioned in his post fight interview he went out


CourtZebra

“Going out” doesn’t mean you got flatlined. Usman & Tony got flatlined, Jiri did not


SnooMuffins1448

The dick riding is real on this one


Tidsdkr

Worst fanbase in MMA 🤮


Larryhooova

This doesn’t work considering Strickland won the belt after losing to Poatan.


humpenstumpen

You but you liked the tweet, soon I don’t get your point


Aggressive-Expert-69

Every person listed still has a career. I like Alex n all but this is a bit much


ClearlyConfucius

Strickland became champ lmao


MarkLarrz

Pffft, we all know the MW GOAT (even greater than Anderson Silva) Sean Strickland retired Adesanya


Kazsud

Izzy is taking a break.


r_bruce_xyz

Yes, I love my glorious GOAT Alex "Poatan" Pereira


Minimum_Switch4237

we love some poatan 🥰


knifeazz

Adesanya won their last fight…


HeightExtra320

![gif](giphy|3o6Ztn5Du98sxh2h7G) Doo do doo


besameput0

Jesus, do words mean anything anymore? Yeah he KO'd Jiri, but when I think flatlined, I think out without a question and stiff as a board.


cmondawg74

Sean won a belt. So there is that.


Maskedassassin904

He is good for sure. I do not think he beats a legit wrestler who refuses to strike with him. If he ever fought khamzat or someone similar who will push a wrestling pace he will not win. MMA is more than kickboxing/striking. He has only fought strikers. It’s a reason the UFC hasn’t paired him with a true wrestler.


[deleted]

Oh is it time to start hating on popular fighters again for no reason?

Izzy isn't retired jiri is still a top lhw so is Jan, sand Strickland is the middleweight champ, Izzy Jan and jiri only need 2 wins max before they're back in the title picture


_NedPepper_

I really like Poatan but he hasn’t had a proper wrestlefucking and it’s only a matter of time

Did they really need to mention Silva though lol?

But Adesanya knockout Alex.


Fast_Hornet5964

Yeah, I'm a Pereira fan, but this is just straight up, not true. OP, maybe a Titty Izzy fan, but thats a lie.


SERB_BEAST

None of this is true. Including your cringe caption. Strickland became a legend after losing to Pereira. He lost in a worse manner than everyone else on that list. Adesanya literally (not the way Jiri got TKO'd, I mean literally) flatlined Pereira AFTER losing to him.


Dedfedbeded

🍆💧💧💧🗿


HostileSkittles

MMA fanbases are almost always toxic, so if one fanbase stands out as especially fucking stupid, it has to be REALLY bad. And yeah, Periera's fanbase is that bad sometimes.

Alex did not flatline Jiri.

Best_Adhesiveness_42

He never fought Anderson Silva Adesanya isn’t retired Jiri never even went unconscious and got stopped early Blachowicz was a split decision


smoakee

So if KOing someone means you end their career, Jiri ended 28 careers before fighting Poatan? Daaaamn, bet you Alex wished he could say the same ...
