Do you know what happened prior to that? The world is full of seminar snipers trying to earn their clout by taking on established names out there.

His stand up doesn’t seem to be even close to what it should be to “ spar” with someone like Pereira.

Was it maybe someone that challenged him ?

Left uppercut was meant to hurt him

God, shit has gotten wayyy too soft.

The bullshit narrative and the public acting like you can blame the boogeyman CTE for a play fighter murder suiciding his family doesn’t help things.

no, you shouldn’t be getting your head caved in multiple times a week, but hard sparring has a legitimate place in training and sometimes shit happens. Why is everyone turning faggot pussy?

Hard to tell what happened from a 20 second clip. Who knows if the guy came out head hunting and he was being taught a lesson.

Meh, dude was gassed from those body blows. Take a knee if you are tired, fight another day.

It sucks but unfortunately it happens. Coach has to control it

I’ve been to a decent number of seminars. The best guys will usually always go as hard as the sparring partner goes. If you’re doing a cooperative, light spar, they’ll let you work. If you act like you’re trying to embarrass your guest, you punch your own ticket and you get what you asked for.

That wasn’t that bad. The internet is full of pussies.

I mean, being knocked out cold is not “good.” But that doesn’t mean it wasn’t deserved.

As mentioned, we don’t know what happened before, but from the clip, dude is throwing LIGHT, and not exactly defending himself very well. Either he sucks and/or was done already. That KO shot seems unnecessary. Notice how everyone is laughing though. Weird.

The usual suspects

We don’t know whether this was hard sparring based on the video. The big dude was not throwing with any power. If there was hard sparring then I retract, but I don’t see that from big dude.

My quick guess is Pereira never expected to knock him out

They were both throwing light then that one quick ish shot

This x2. Dude almost certainly took liberties, and paid the toll for it :man_shrugging::man_shrugging::man_shrugging:

We have seen how chill Alex is in sparring with randoms. He always seems to let dudes set the tone, then matches it.
