I actually think Khalil has the best chance to win by making it messy and fast paced. That sounds like a terrible idea against Pereira, because it is, but fighting him in general is a terrible idea. Last thing you want to do is let him slow it down and fight a technical striking battle, he wins that all day. Khalil needs to get in his face and try to overwhelm him.
I think you're right. Pereira has a higher chance of winning when you have more, short engagements. He counters as you close the distance. If Khalil can keep real close and make the engagements longer, and keep his head off the center line, he could get an upset. Everyone knows Alex is hittable, Khalil needs to exploit that and force it to be a slug-fest.
Fighting Pereira when you have absolutely no wrestling or grappling is a bad idea... Why you think they give Pereira #8 ranked Khalil with absolutely no wrestling or grappling skill (I'm willing to bet money Pereira is a better wrestler and grappler).. Khalil is a sacrificial lamb while UFC is praying #5 Rakic beats #2 Ankalaev later this month... If Ankalaev wins I would'nt be suprised if he's skipped so Jan Blachowicz can fight again because it was a split decision fight.
Pereira also tends to back up when overwhelmed with his head going straight back, it hasn't caused him much trouble yet but I can see a powerful southpaw tagging him. Skill for skill pereira probably all day but hey, anything can happen
@@dev11s48 yes but not muay thai clinching, throwing, and pushing to create kicking distance and re-closing with a jab + elbow bash. Essentially if he can survive the hook of death in the close range hes got a good chance to win fighting pure muay thai
@@LordBeezleDwarf Try to clich a much taller guy with good knees and tell me if it worked. Khalil shot is rush, get to the "ultra close" range bar fight style and land a good hand. Pereira is bigger, much more skilled and probably more powerful too, Khalil need to win in 1 or 2 rounds, after that hes gonna get pieced up badly
@somethingclever4563 I'm not being a pruck , but im sure it's 'on' and not 'in'. Sorry I didn't reply sooner but the JWs knocked on , for a bit of social interaction.
Great breakdown. I really like the format like this. Appreciate the level of effort you guys put into the breakdowns. It’s easy to sit in front of a computer and put yourself in the corner of the screen. This just feels more interactive and like classic in a way. I hate the streaming format, this is way better.
@@TheLuckyShepherdgo look at his most recent fight. Perfect head movement, hands up, slipping off the centre line etc. he’s definitely improving every fight.
Bruh imagine if Alex drew that far back to throw a shot, most times he looks stick and odd but he generates the power he does from no draw back imagine if he threw like that hed kill ppl.
Pereira is going to take Khalil down and submit him. Not that he cant stand and bang with him. I think Pereira is going to go for the sub to prove a point. Ive noticed in sessions he has been going for takedowns and rolling with Glover.
I've been thinking the same, i read that he also "challenged" Khalil to not shoot any takedowns. Could be saying that to catch him off guard even more.
Khalil Vs Alex is my favourite kind of match up because it guarantees my favourite aspect of this sport violence this is gonna be a war for however long it lasts which probably won't be long BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!!!!!
u said he looks like piccolo ur my favorite mma youtuber now! this is gonna be good fight guys regardless who wins this is gonna be a good one. i just cant go with anyone but alex
Bro this videos was so awesome and dun, i never look at fight breakdown that much but this guy is so passionate that i kept watching 33:53 was such a genuine moment Also 28:01 i spit my drink
timestamp 20:45 the breakdown of rountrees left hand the kill shot review, pause on 20:45 and look at where rountree puts his head off the center line, but he puts his head right where alexs left is usually looking to go and thats just an instinct when he rushes in his head goes low to the right while throws the left. THAT is where i see Alexs left hook landing
"if you thought the analysis was shit? let me know", big props to a youtube personality being human lol fight wise been thinking the past couple of weeks though that khalil's best weapon was clinches, now i kinda feel he has a chance on the feet at least. lucky i don't bet since i still think pereira has him but i'm definitely more excited for the fight now
Im sitting here thinking Rountree has a really good punchers chance simply because of how aggressive and powerful he is. But when this fight is over, and Alex starches him in the 1st or 2nd round, we are all going to look back at how obvious that outcome was. I really like both of these guys but Alex is just levels above Rountree
One thing alex will probably abuse is khalil standing in front of him by throwing *heavy* leg kicks, we've seen former champs change stance after just a couple of them. And if Khalils legs are gone after one or two rounds his ability to blitz will be greatly reduced, ofcourse this being lhw (and with khalil in particular), one punch could drastically change the course of the fight. But idk, a kickboxer as accomplished, experienced and especially calcullating as alex pereira will probably have a sizeable advantage on the feet.
I love Khalil, I hope he does well. I don’t understand why some people are hating on him. There’s been a ton of people who have fought for titles and “didn’t really earn the shot”.
You need to blitz Pereira. He's kind of like Cerrone in that way. He starts slow. Mind you, Alex finds his rhythm a lot quicker then Cerrone does and is a lot deadlier of a striker. But the same idea applies. You can't let him stand there and pick his shots. There has been crazier upsets. We are do for one. This might not the way everyone thinks it will. That being said. I hope Pereira sends him to the shadow realm.
Bro you just Convinced me Khalil Don't Even Have a (Punchers Chance) 😂 I think if Khalil Attempts to Charge from the Bell with a Flurry , I predict Alex Shocking the World with a Takedown/Slam of some sort followed by some Ground & Pound.
Possibly not getting hit in the face as his number 1 priority, pretty nutty. Seriously though he's got a decent shot but everyone can be put down with his nuclear option, it's so dangerous to get within striking distance.
Pull a Merab. He laid out the next level gameplan to deal with elite strikers. Do not engage at all unless you are completely in control and confident of the outcome of the exchange, and that outcome being a takedown.
Roundtree has never attempted in his entire ufc career, he's a striker through and through and it's goofy to suggest he completely change his fight style in favor of something he's mediocre at best
@@TheSircaptainawesome Ever hear of this guy names Francis Ngannou? He fought another guy, really good kickboxer named Ganes. Well fran was really known for his KO power but against ganes, Fran shot a ton of take downs and won the fight with grappling! So goofy.
I mean Bruno managed to essentially stand and trade with him for 3. Granted there was a little grappling mixed in, but I do believe Khalil has a very real chance
Digging this format , I'm curios if you guys wanted to try something new or You got to do this Because you are Clearly Suoer Hyped For this fight , As you clearly Stated Repeated in tyat video like a week ago about Khalil Deserving a Title Shot
I've seen Poatan talking about and there is training footage of him grappling and I think he could pull that up to stop some voices. Poatan wins by TKO/KO in the second round.
Please don't show techniques yourself,it looks ridiculous. No disrespect, love the analysis and channel. Just being honest. You obviously can't box, it doesnt help when you try to 'show' the techniques and mess it up badly.
Not really, not by any reliable metric. Most of his camp for this fight was in the USA not in Thailand. Even if he was with the best Muay Thai guys in the world on his camp, Alex has at the very least two Glory caliber kickboxing in his camp.
Khalil won by TKO with Oblique kick targeting Pereira's knee. which he had done before against his old previous opponent. who knows.. just a weird guess..
I'm a big fan of Poatan but just because everybody's so goddamn certain that Rountree can't win, I'd like to see him win. That being said, I absolutely do not think that he will, and if I was the betting sort I'd be betting on Pereira, but ... well, yeah. There it is. I'd like to see Rountree win. But I don't think he will.
Excellent breakdown. Really highlighted nuances in Khalil's game I never noticed.
Alex by 1st round tko.
nah alex has a heart attack and rountree wins
Casual alert
nice comment
Alex by 1st round tko.

But you gotta remember there fighting in Salt Lake City so that’s easier said then done
Pereira also tends to back up when overwhelmed with his head going straight back, it hasn't caused him much trouble yet but I can see a powerful southpaw tagging him. Skill for skill pereira probably all day but hey, anything can happen
That got Jiri knocked out twice, and he's the definition of "in your face" aggression and pace
He needs to survive the leg kicks, close distance with bashing elbows, and fight close up in clinch
Sadly pereira is also good at clinching
@@dev11s48 yes but not muay thai clinching, throwing, and pushing to create kicking distance and re-closing with a jab + elbow bash. Essentially if he can survive the hook of death in the close range hes got a good chance to win fighting pure muay thai
@@LordBeezleDwarf Pereira has the better knees and from what I see both of them don't use that many elbows.

"What Must Rountree Do To Survive Pereira’s Knockout Power?" - Be someone else entirely. He can't, he won't.
People legit thought Jamahal had a chance. Easy work for AP.
Did Hill even train, though?
@@ImextremelyAsian-c9g Wouldn't have made a difference. Still wouldn't have survived the first round.
they said the same about Adesanya 4... and Adesanya dead shotted him into a 4 minute dirt nap, its fighting you new to combat sports
@@derekrusher5172 only took Jizzy 4 attempts 🤣
@NotJosephMuscat most people couldn't beat Alex in 10 so that's not so bad 😂 Alex is a warrior god. The mf is different.
Leg kicks and left hooks all day.
big puncher + southpaw + leaves himself open to left hook = Jamaal Hill

Rountree got crazy power but leaves himself wide open.
He does have openings but at least he keeps his head down. Alex keeps his chin literally out and up, that's how we got knocked out by Israel.
@@TheLuckyShepherdgo look at his most recent fight. Perfect head movement, hands up, slipping off the centre line etc. he’s definitely improving every fight.
@TheLuckyShepherd venom, is that you?😂
@@aaronchandler572 lol he / we pronouns these days, idk how they work.
The size and reach diff will be a issue as KDT is one of the shortest light heavy weight where Ales is in the top 3 tallest
I love the Dan Hardy style breakdowns. This channel is by far the best place for UFC/MMA analysis.
better than Dan Hardy's own breakdowns on his channel?
I got Alex by flying triangle in the 5th rd
+10000000000 odds😂😂😂
When the breakdown is taking up 10x time of the match…
Fantastic Video this is one of those fights where the true winner is the fans regardless of the outcome of the fight
Shoulda forced Jason to do this 🤣
Lol screw that
Great video Bayliun and team!
I’m early, like the finish will be in this fight.

Bosh! Shoutout Propa Boxing 😎😎🔥
these are becoming my fav vids on this channel, these and the deep dives like the catch wrestling vid.

Shitposting aside, I really like this video series. I've learned a lot and can process more of what's happening while I watch the fights live. 👍
Khalil Vs Alex is my favourite kind of match up because it guarantees my favourite aspect of this sport violence this is gonna be a war for however long it lasts which probably won't be long BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!!!!!
Lol all good but I still put my money on Alex via KO in the 1st
I wonder if Khalil is just watching every video upselling him right now, trying to figure out if one of them has the key to beating Pereira.
I wish we could see the belas vs kamaru brawl so this dude cam break that down for us 😂
There will be people who don’t realize Alex’s length Is crazy.
u said he looks like piccolo ur my favorite mma youtuber now! this is gonna be good fight guys regardless who wins this is gonna be a good one. i just cant go with anyone but alex
Can't even begin to imagine the insane level of self-confidence it must take to stand across Poatan in the octagon. What a killer!

If he goes into survival mode, fight would get over inside round 1
I'm very confident that this is not the fight that will stop Alex in his legendary rise.

That Roberson finish was ruthless
guy like Pereira we almost expected to “Liddell” so to speak after he was knocked out cold
This was a great video for understanding SP vs OD. Thank you brother
Round tree has insane power too. Dude is a monster when he’s on.

I love Khalil, I hope he does well. I don’t understand why some people are hating on him. There’s been a ton of people who have fought for titles and “didn’t really earn the shot”.
The odds on this being a 5 rounder might as well be 500-1
We thought that before Ngannou VS Lewis.
I love these breakdowns
Regarding your breakdown of Khalil: Smacking the opponents lead hand out of the way is very common in muay thai, not surprising he's using it

Rountree swing with everything leaving himself open to left hooks
Round tree has a punchers chance, but alex has a left
The background music sure brings me back to my gangbanger days, my dawg
I think this is going to be a mess. Khalil has a punchers chance at winning but it’s definitely a possibility
Did this dude say karate so he can rush? Bro that’s classic Muay Thai stance to check kicks.
The way everyone talks about the fight as if it’s already predetermined win for Alex makes me want to pick Khalil, nobody knows shit about fighting
' his shotgun, his sniper' no man it cant be both. Pick one lol
😅😅😅

Bro went life and death with Anthony Smith lmao
got dogged by ion cuteleba and jhonny walker
Answer: never take the fight in the first place
Alex by first round KO. Rountrees last win was Anthony Smith which is pathetic 😂
It’s been hard to take that one idiot seriously after he said it was Ankaleav’s choice to fast Ramadan and turn down the fight 😂😂
Let’s just say it how it is. If Khalil engages with him, Alex is going to KO this guy in round 1

Alex has never been finished? What about when Izzy slept him in their 2nd UFC fight?
Khalil keeps his right hand too low. Not even just when throwing. All the time. Might be his undoing.
Khalil won by TKO with Oblique kick targeting Pereira's knee. which he had done before against his old previous opponent. who knows.. just a weird guess..
25 min match that hasn’t happened.
