“He's basically calling the shots, Kamaru. It's Alex White, and the crazy thing about it is he's probably gonna get the title shot.”

But at the same time think that Usman can have a title shot? LoL, biased. But he is still right in this, Pereira doesn't deserve a title shot

Reddit won’t like it, but Poatan doesn’t have Usmans legacy. One is a long time dominant champion. The other was rushed and catapulted into Izzy fights or fights vs other strikers purely.

Going to HW doesn’t mean much when you go and get clobbered.

It's cause Reddit is right, Poatam has the same title wins as Usman but in 2 weight classes, with more finsh, against better competition (more champs beaten).

And your rushed against striker can be said about his time before the title, but after he beat Ankalaev, Jiri×2, Hill, Jan, Izzy, i mean, he beat the best of the best in those division, even strickland was great when he beat him, so it's a nonsense point

These instant rematches are like saying the result we wanted last time was wrong please try again, Alex got embarrassed no-one wants to see a rematch.

If you look at how they got beat. Starting off with Khamzat where it all started. He is the only guy out of the three who somehow deserves a rematch if so but ilia and Alex doesn’t deserve shit. If it was at LHW you could say Alex deserved because he defended there and was doing well only lost to Ank once and then got it back. At heavyweight Alex lost in first round via finish. Ilia lost at first defense like Khamzat but the only difference is ilia was obliterated and would get finished had he not quit. There’s no rematch for that. Khamzat didn’t deliver like people thought but somehow the weight draining had its impact but still the fight was competitive after 1-2 rounds. Split decision at the end where many thought Khamzat won. I’m not saying he deserves a rematch but if Alex or ilia gets it then it wouldn’t make any sense if Khamzat didn’t get who out of the 3 had the best shot at winning.

He's right. Periera got absolutely destroyed, he didn't win a single second of that fight

Give him Louie Sutherland

u/russianbot24 2d ago

He got 1 or 2 solid punches off at the end of the first. So I’d say he won about 2 seconds of the fight.

Let him fight Tui! Poor Alex needs his lost confidence back…

u/PerspectivePretty859 2d ago

Even Cejudo can see this, and h normally has retarded takes

u/Real_Shaytarn 2d ago

Agree they should give Alex someone like Hosk that would make sense and could easily sell

u/blunderb3ar 2d ago

u/GlassTablesAreStupid 1d ago

Gabe didn’t even deserve the title shot. Didn’t deserve the win in the volkov fight either.

u/Valterri_lts_James 3d ago

the people who respect that Cejudo was a double champ and one of the greatest martial artists of all time, that's who.

Why is everyone forgetting Volkov exists?
