Alex Pereira Moving Up to Fight Ciryl Gane - Rogan

I don’t like it when a fighter moves up a class! But If it’s a one off that’s one thing!

Pereira could just continue forwards at LHW and become teh best ever in his weight class, or risk getting KO’d by an equally qualified kickboxer, who is heavier and battered! Not to mention fighting HW’s who are grapplers!

Does Pereira have enough of a career left and enough quality compettition at 205 to ever be considered the GOAT at 205? Let alone the rounded skillset of some other all time greats? Where does he rank among the best now?

Pereira’s shelf life in MMA is nearing its expiration so would like to see him fight the biggest names at whatever weight class they are at.

Never mind Aspinall reading this

Of course he doesn’t have anything achievable to his reach at 205 but beating Jones and Bony wouldn’t give him or anyone that chance.

Love AP but he has no business at HW

And an interestingly matched one at that imo.

He always belonged at heavyweight.

If a guy only has business fighting people that are smaller than him, then he’s probably not as good of a fighter as you think he is. :man_shrugging:

It should be Aspinal, Cyrillic Gane should not be rewarded with a super fight for eye poking.

A former MW champion should not be at HW

Not so sure about that. The Gane fight made Tom’s fight IQ/strategy look non existent.

Gane is easy to dominate on the ground. Possibly impossible to dominate on the feet. Tom kept it on the feet.

Time to win some easy money taking Gane LOL.

I would like to watch and find out.

he weighs 240. not 185.

Gane is a real bad matchup for him. I’d take Gane by KO.

Gane is a bit chinny. He’s being dropped by straight rights before.

Alex’s main weapons are his hook and calf kicks. His right hand isn’t straight, it curves.

Have to take Gane but wouldn’t be surprised if Alex KO’s him. Bigger surprise would be the fight going the distance.

I hope his dumbass doesn’t come in unnecessarily heavy again

He needs to come in 235-240 lbs, not 250+

He got dropped by a jab. It wasn’t illegal blows that made him lose that fight. He should stick to LHW
