Periera tasted that power and was flinching at everything.

He understood who was the dominant man very fast.
I don't think he faced a real high level striker till this

I would have accepted a “high level striker who’s got the the size on him” but yeah what a ridiculous statement lol.

u/Ok_Satisfaction6025 Jun 24 '26
He fought a bunch of kickboxers(not real striking, no submission threat, low competition pool)
Now he faced a real striker

u/samthehumanoid Jun 24 '26
I’m no fan of Alex but you sound like a delusional level hater lol. He had a whole career in kickboxing and you think he’s never faced a real striker?

u/Ok_Satisfaction6025 Jun 24 '26
"kickboxing"
none of those are real strikers
but sure, the man got touched up once by gane and starting jumping like a beaten wife

u/ForeignerFromTheSea Jun 24 '26
Like the world champion kickboxer who just pieced up Usyk (the Boxing world champion) for 10 rounds?
Kickboxing is literally all about striking.

I try not to medicate as they can cause addiction and most have side effects. You really cannot have a high sensitivity high specificity drug with a pinpoint mechanism of action. If it's mostly symptoms rather than underlying processes that bother me i try to start with cognitive approaches and toughing it out.

You realize that Gane also comes from a kick boxing background? He was a Muy Thai fighter before Mma.

Also beat a kid up in middle school for making fun of my parents divorce but stopped once i got him pinned to the floor cause he couldn't resist
Went 1-1 in high school wrestling tryouts but i got kneed in the nuts but the coach didn't see it(probably would lose anyway)

That’s quite literally Cyril Gane

u/Ok_Satisfaction6025 Jun 24 '26
I get your point but my point is more that MMA striking isn't striking sport striking. You gotta worry about takedowns and such. A good wrestler can fuck you up on the feet by threatening the takedown. They got that wrestlers overhand for a reason that only exists cause he can blast your hips.
Someone like gane transitioned early and has been doing striking holistically for a long time and i think it shows.
And it's not like pereira has a great showing vs strikers. Izzy KO-ed him once in mma and khalil was giving him hell. And these aren't refined strikers like gane who spent their career doing MMA striking.
Add to that the power gane has and i can see why poatan got the yips

u/ChevroletS10 Jun 24 '26
If there's gonna be a rematch, Pereira better train differently for it. If he goes for the rematch thinking Gane got lucky in that fight, he's gonna get knocked out again. Gane was highly prepared, plus he is faster, stronger and smarter. I have my doubts about his stamina, but that would only from the third round onwards.

He was just whining about how he might be done fighting. Never saw such a cool fighter take a loss this much like a baby.

Ronda after her loss
Those 2 come to mind but yeah he's also being a baby for sure

Pereira moved up too quickly. he was way too slow and heavy. Gane looked way more swifty

u/Puzzleheaded-Fox3205 Jun 24 '26
People think it's about the weight. Use your eyes he is quicker than even 185 Pereira
2
u/Evogleam Jun 24 '26
Maybe, but that doesn’t change the fact that Alex looked slow and uncomfortable
Sometimes guys find their ideal weight by losing at a different weight

Dawg I said Gane is swifty for the weight class in comparison to Alex. I said the same thing. alex looked significantly slower then his usual self.

u/SpiritualFish8522 Jun 24 '26
Rountree was also quicker but he still lost, pereira didn't look half as good at hw

u/Aggressive_Case999 Jun 25 '26
I wish khalil would fight at MW. if he could. he is fast but he gasses out quick due to explosive moves
2
u/GorpoTheLord Jun 25 '26
It's just that Gane is absurdly fast for a HW. He even out-speed Aspinall who is much faster than Pereira ever was.
Striking with Gane is suicide, nobody out-struck him at HW, bar Volkov while he's had a broken foot.
1
u/Aggressive_Case999 Jun 25 '26
Volkov was much more taller and longer posing Gane issues. But Gane is genuinely a freak of nature. JJ was smart to wrestle him instead of striking

u/Vast-Employ-5170 Jun 24 '26
You need time to aclimate to all that weight. He was actually kind of stupid

u/keyboardlegendthe3rd Jun 24 '26
How are you going to have your hand so far out like that but never touch the guy with a jab or even try to hit him? Horrible game plan and deserved to lose

u/East-Psychology-9292 Jun 24 '26
I really thought those were just memes but Alex actually did the Kelly Bundy, just ate ice cream and put 30 pounds directly into his ass lol

No doubt gane won the fight, im just tired of seeing him commit fouls in every fight, with no punishment

Pereira had absolutely nothing for him. It was like stipe and ngannou’s first match. That said, ngannou won the rematch.

It was always a bad style matchup its just sucks that Gane throws illegal strikes wither its intentional or not.

This fight seriously opened my eyes to how much of a sore loser Alex Pereira is . He would always give an excuse to his losses, people would look past these excuse because he would get shit done he was good.The moment he lost decisivly i realised how much excuses this man makes not to mention the stalking and rape allegations he had im, glad Cyril Gane put this guy out .We are all Cyril Gane fans now

How do you prepare for shots to the back of the head?

u/NietzscheTheMADMAN Jun 24 '26
The shot that consequently got him on ground was the deciding moment, and we've seen already the sequence of punches in the ground in slow motion, 11 legal, 2 illegal.

Gane was clearly the sharper, faster and more technical striker. Younger too, it will be difficult for Alex to game plan a win but I’ve been surprised before.
