GDT: UFC 295: Prochazka vs. Pereira

[Deadpool8812]

Mackenzie Dern was out cold on her feet six times before it was stopped and the main event ends like this lol

Have to protect Dern as much as they can because she's "attractive"

 

[Moncherry]

Then there's also the question with regards to if the elbows were even legal strikes.

 

[Chaels Arms]

Jiri trying so hard to follow the bushido code by not complaining while also knowing it was an early stoppage lol

I give props to the guy, he is committed to that code and I think that is awesome.

 

[I am not exposed]

Did Pereira call anyone out? He kind of indicated he wants to fight before Hill recovers from injury

 

[Moncherry]

Jiri claims he was out. It certainly didn't look like it though.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

To me the replay looked like he went out and then woke back up. But maybe I'm wrong. I always like seeing definite finishes so I have no issues with letting it play out further too.

I agree. It was a pretty early stoppage but I think he was out.

 

[I am not exposed]

So that is two title fights for Pereira which have arguably been stopped early.

He called out Adesanya which is hilarious and amazing.

Why would he lie lol he was out

 

[Chaels Arms]

Why would he lie lol he was out

This is a man who literally locked himself in a dark room for six days while preparing for this fight.

He's never going to complain about anything.

I feel like the reputation about his power has helped him

 

[I am not exposed]

He called out Adesanya which is hilarious and amazing.

Haha, that is amazing. Izzy taking a break. Hill will be probably back before Izzy decides to fight.

Although a title shot in another division against Pereira would probably be tempting.

 

[Moncherry]

I didn't mean to imply he was lying.

Sure it did

He is reaching for Alex's hands when they go to the ground, which to me tells me he's trying to intelligently defend himself but we never got there so we don't know. He was clearly rocked but I don't think that's a good time to stop any fight let alone a title fight.

But I like Pereira so it's okay.

You can clearly see the hands drop when it looks like he goes out. Call it a flash knockout or whatever you want

Pereira’s reason for calling out Stylebender almost seemed altruistic, he was talking about how seeing Izzy on tv got him back into the gym and where he is now. Talked about dragging Izzy back into the ring.

 

[Chaels Arms]

I just feel if there was any fight where you want to lean towards letting a fighter go out on their sword it was this one.

The Pereira lead leg kick is like the Mariano Rivera cutter. No one has really figured that out yet. Even in the fight Adesanya won Pereira still chewed up his legs.

Oh for sure. Like I said, you should let it play out.

But to me you could also pretty clearly see him get knocked out when his hands drop. He said he was out. One of the best refs in the world thought he was out. He was out.

 

[Moncherry]

Sure it did

He was clearly lucid at the time of the stoppage. He sat up immediately.

I don’t disagree with you regarding the stoppage. Who knows, maybe Jiri recovers after taking a defensive position from his back, maybe Alex makes it clear it’s a KO after another 1-2 punches.

In regards to the leg kicks, I almost feel like you’d have to have a similar pressure gameplan that Strickland used against Izzy. Just don’t give him the time or space to throw them. Easier said then done though

I like that comparison lol.. DC said it on the broadcast he doesn't swing his hips over so it is so hard to see coming.

 

[Moncherry]

fwiw Jiri also claimed he was 'out' against Reyes. So perhaps he's interpreting it differently. Doesn't really compute how someone can know when they were unconscious.

 

[I am not exposed]

Both heavyweight and light heavyweight are muddy atm.

Who does Aspinall fight next? Stipe obviously waiting for Jones. Does he fight Gane and defend the interim? Doesn't make sense.

Who does Pereira fight next? Shame the Walker fight ended in that weird draw. Winner of that fight would have made sense

That's what happens with flash knockouts. You're out and then by the time the ref is there you are awake. Ref is justified to stop the fight in that situation.
