Media Luke Rockhold talking about Alex Pereira

[Deceasedxo]

Tbf Alex would one shot Luke at this point.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Crazy how bitter these vets and analysts are about Alex's success.

 

[roman510]

he also got walk off KOed bu one eyed michael bisping.

He also submitted two eyed Michael Bisping

 

[josh345]

I think the Luke that beat Machida and Weidman would have a shot. On top he was deadly. But could he get Alex on the ground? Machdia slipped and Weidman threw that weird kick. Still he was pretty dangerous with body locks then I guess. Big guy. Would be a good fight.

 

[Jihad-MMA]

Luke got KTFO by one eyed Bisping.

Poatan would absolutely send him into the shadow realms.

I appreciated his KB techniques though. Easily on par with Adesanya, he just couldn't never fully delivered it.

 

[TheBulge]

The last thing Luke would remember in that fight would be Poatan going "do you know where you are huahh?" in his face.

 

[linvillegorge]

Luke got KO'd by a Michael Bisping left hook. A Poatan left hook might kill him.

 

[Jihad-MMA]

A Poatan left hook might kill him.

The last stylebender survived it briefly. Even turned it against Poatan later on.

 

[samuelsoncast]

Hi-chin Rockhold. Hahah. Let's go.
It has "The Wrestler" movie vibes all over.

 

[Trabaho]

Fighters thrive on self belief, it keeps them going

Luke in his prime did look like he'll be a top 5 MW goat

But honestly his close range boxing has always been shaby

 

[linvillegorge]

The last stylebender survived it briefly. Even turned it against Poatan later on.

He ain't glass jawed like Luke though

 

[nostradumbass]

It's kind of true, but people blow it way out of proportion. He's obviously gotten preferential matchmaking and a title shot for 4th UFC fight with a 6-1 pro record, but more than a few people completely exaggerate how bad his ground game is. It's not like anybody can just take him down and sub him instantly, he's good enough for basic defense.

 

[ryun253]

Fooking Rockhold LOL

He just never changes does he? Same old delusional shit from him.....

Luke's a funny dude. He's one of those people that would be super charismatic if he never opened his mouth. He's took L's everywhere, even the singer chick he dated turn lesbian after dating him

 

[HolmeZy55]

Prime Luke would absolutely smash Alex at 185.

You mean the same prime Luke who got absolutely sparked out by Bisping?

He trains full time with Glover for going on years now. Jan wrestle fucked Izzy and couldn't do it to Perreira. It isn't like every other MW or LHW is a decorated wrestler either. Hill, Izzy, Strickland, Jiri, DDP, Cannonier. Minimal wrestling or grappling accades. And those are the top of the food chain kind of guys.

For a striker Perrwira has the right build for anti-wrestling, as he's built like a brick shithouse. It's not like he's a gangly ass Semmy Schilt. Wonderboy has done well and isn't as athletic as Poatan.

Maybe Ankalaev or someone can wrestle fuck him, but it doesn't seem like a massive weakness at this point.

Man, Wonderboy at 40 is still a far better athlete than Poatan. Flexibility, co-ordination and speed all go to Wonderboy. Poatan is no joke athletically obviously, strong as a bull, power for days, an absolute monster for sure and he'd kill Wonderboy if they were to fight. Also, he's pretty handy with the bow.

 

[IronGolem007]

for reference, kids, let me educate you: luke rockhold is the guy who quit in the middle of the fight because he got his grill smashed in by mike perry. he also got walk off KOed bu one eyed michael bisping. wouldnt kid ya. consider these things when you listen to his "take".

have a good day

Oh, and he also insulted them all before getting FUBARed by them all

I think Poatan has Wonderboy beat in terms of speed/power/strength. Wonderboy is more flexible. Not sure how you assess which one is more coordinated. I've never seen either look uncoordinated.

Luke the disdainful who makes a habit of keeping his chin in the air because he knows he is just that damn good and yeah he got KO'd but deep in his heart he knows he is better than them .

this one just doesn't get old
