DC fought people were not that so big, Stipe 230 to 240 not like 275 or something. Aspinal is almost maxing out the weight, someone like Cyril Game, are not too big, But Aspinal is really big and the size could be a problem, Jones made sure he was fully big and got used to the weight too, Izzy miscalculated when he fough Jan Blahovich and the size was too much esp in the wrestling, or clinching department. Alex needs to be as big or get strong enough to push and out muscle thise BIG guys. There is a video a of skinny guy in body building videos who can carry extremely heavy things. Like that he can match at least their size with power and everything. But if Alex match Ngannou s recording punching some machine then he could give Aspinal or any HW problem, although I think Aspinal will knock him like Izzy did the last time. But who knows, its good to have dreams and try pursue them

The power in hw is absolutely different. Hw fighters train and eat whatever they want because there's no weight limit. Unlike in mw and below, you need to maintain a certain weight if not you'll be disqualified. The food you intake after the training is important. You will regain and recover fast and the nutrients that your body needs will be supplied correctly. Train eat cycle while in the training camp is important. While others needs to cut weight which definitely affects their performance.

This match-up strikes me as very interesting. For some context, i'm a total Alex Supporter, i ought to be, I train at Glover's Gym in Danbury talked to him a few times, and just saw him inspiring 10yr kids at the gym just yesterday right before my BJJ class; I'm pretty known to MMA recent college grad previous athletic experience was in Track and also did calisthenics. I and everyone in my hometown is totally in alex's corner, and you can tell he has incredible mental strength, it's in his eyes when he stares at you, he is fearless, strong, powerful, smart and skilled, not the fasted guy and mostly a stand-up fighter but he is a legit heavyweight at 6'4 can def get as big as 240-250. I also really like Tom, and he is definitely a legit heavy weight at 6'5 and all of 265, highly skilled and much more well rounded, but Alex is that big, that powerful, and has the moment and vision to get this done. It would be Alex's job to keep it on the feet and attack Tom's legs, tho Tom's leck kicks also look really good, Tom would have to take it to the ground and use his higher level BJJ and wrestling and size and power of his own i would think, tho he can stand well to but i would give the edge to Alex on the feet

i think pereira would win because his brazilian the statues of peru that look like alex pereira has something to do with the fact that pereira is very strong the indigenous ancestors of pereira build the statue they saw a giant that look like pereira brazilians are one of the best ufc fighters

Cmon, Tom would pommel him to the ground... maybe maybe if Alex had like 2-3 years to build up to HeavyWeights. But otherwise he can forget about it. Hell imagine Alex against someone like Francis or Stipe. Nope.

If Tom let’s his ego get the better of him and try’s to stand and trade with Alex it’s over that left will find a home eventually, but if he’s smart and takes him down Tom definitely takes the Win

@JordanAlbert-fu9jz 2 ай бұрын

Tom is too quick and crafty.... He was one of Tyson Fury's main sparring partner for some of his biggest fights. Alex is amazing and powerful, but he's nothing that Tom hasn't seen or dealt with before.

Alex was manhandled by a 41 year old, suffering from altitude, Jan Blachowicz. I love him but it's clear the ufc gave him a pretty safe route to the title with mainly strikers. Jan at sea level would beat him comfortably... he was even getting the better of the striking if you asked me and Alex seemed to react more to his shots than vice versa. i think Tom is too big and quick and has too strong of an MMA game for Alex. imo Alex would only aim for this fight any time soon if he was avoiding Ankalaev

Alex Perira was 230lbs when he fought Hall, the most he'll get to is 235 for a heavyweight matchup. Tom weighs 270 when he's not training hard, and around 262 on weigh in days after a camp. That's not even close.

@watappp 2 ай бұрын

Bro hes gonna bulk up lmao. Hes gonna go to like 270 and cut to 250 or something.

@venge54is17 2 ай бұрын

yes he would have problems with grappling but where did you get this numbers..235 for heavyweight matchup...why... he could easily be 240 to 245 if he spends eating well and lifting for 2 months while wtill maintaining most od the speed...he doesn't do any haevy bulking things like aspinall who lifts and eats as much as he can to maintain his weight while still having above 15% body fat ...while pereira is definitely below 10%bf
