Pereira is not a very likable character since he doesn't smile a lot but I can say he put all his strength to be great in this sport. He is from a very poor beginning though, same as those who started from scratch. I would be happy for him to become successful too.
That is not important at all, Mike Tyson was not a likeable character, he didn't smile much and he dominated boxing for years. My prediction is that Pereira probably winning on points, unless Adesanya make huge surprise with his fighting style and dominates more with wrestling. I think both of them are good in stand up, Adesanya is faster, Pereira is stronger, but all other skills outside kickboxing is advantage for Adesanya. Dana White and the UFC went thru the hoops to get and support McGregor in his foray into boxing. But the thing is if the UFC fighter lost in a boxing match it diminishes the UFC fighter's stock and in a way it also diminishes the UFC as a brand. So after McGregor vs Mayweather, the UFC isn't having more boxing matches involving fighters from their roster.
I don't think it affects UFC at all, but they can't control money and take most of the earnings like they are doing in their competition. Let me predict that is McGregor makes another boxing fight UFC will allow him to do it, but other fighters wont be allowed to do that.

Well, Alex Pereira can not please everyone, and even targeting to please anybody at all, but surely even though he is not smiling more often he doesn't really need it, because this is UFC, what is important here is if you can beat the other guy which Alex Pereira is really capable of knocking the other guy out for sure, well he doesn't need to be likable because people does like him the way he was now, even though I am not a fan of Alex Pereira because I am for Israel Adesanya, Pereira surely got the attribute in being a champion,
I have a complete opposite vision. A fighter would better smile, talk, jump and act like an asshole, then be silent but skilled fighter. And the more bad guy you are, the better it is. UFC does not like fighters who are active online inside octagon. Demetrious Johnson is a great example. The guy is so much positive, that UFC exchanged him for other fighter (Mighty Mouse has 11 title defence, lost to triple C and got exchanged for Ben Askren lol). No wonder why people dont love Dariush, Muhammad or Whittaker. Because they are too good as persons ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) People dont like Pereira, because he dont speak English, shows no emotions, and got title fight after beating 3 average guys (2 of them were not even in top15), while others wait ages for a title fight. There are actually positives and negatives for both sides. A fighter can jump around and act like he's the best in the world in any circumstance and bring in better revenue for the fighting organization or company and at the same time bring better money for himself as well. It is already a proven fact imho, that a fighter might suck at fighting, but if he managed to stimulate ticker or PPV sales, he will be kept in promotion. UFC is not pure sport, it is entertaining + sport. There are a lot of examples in UFC, when fighters with 3-5 looses in a row are kept in roster, and there are fighters that are released after just one lost, when they got serious of wins. Nobody wants to watch silent Ivan Drago fight. People want big mouths like Clubber Lang That is not important at all, Mike Tyson was not a likeable character, he didn't smile much and he dominated boxing for years. My prediction is that Pereira probably winning on points, unless Adesanya make huge surprise with his fighting style and dominates more with wrestling. I think both of them are good in stand up, Adesanya is faster, Pereira is stronger, but all other skills outside kickboxing is advantage for Adesanya.
I remember how people talked about how huge Pereira was in their fight. Ability to do extreme weight cuts gonna help him to win again. I feel like Pereira is preparing some kind of a bomb for us. While Adesanya is on public, selling their fight, Pereira is at him gym, mastering his skills. Never seen before how Pereira was even dazed. It will be super hard for Adesanya to knock out this guy. But if the fight goes to judges, they gonna be in favour of a champ, if he did not finish Adesanya before. P.S. Look how bad people are ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Adesanya did just one mistake, just one loss, and people already see and predict 1001 way how Pereira gonna finish him ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

I think Adesanya Fans really wanted to see him perform well and surprise the audiences about how he gonna handle this fight. But his problem is Pereira will already know exactly what he gonna do and can predict his movement easily. If Adesanya won't change his fighting style, this upcoming fight will be in favor of Pereira and it might be that the result of this fight is the same as the last one. Pereira can easily dodge and take Adesanya's punches as if it's nothing and that's just how he is always caught by surprise because there wasn't any opponent who can do that against him before. He really needs to win this fight in order to regain back his honor.

Some are saying he will have to move to 206 lbs but there are more tough fighters in this weight class. True that he is fast and stronger. He dominated the fight for at least 4 rounds, he could have won the fight if he just didn't roll back and still have his balance but Periera chased him while his back against the cage. Same Izzy style I think he can win against Pereira, he just has to avoid getting caught by a clean shot because, with just one, he will get more clean shots after it.

I also heard that the owner of UFC Endeavor has bought over 50% of WWE's shares and they stated that the UFC and WWE have now merged and become one container. I don't know whether this development can have a positive impact on the UFC or not because these two sports events are very different. UFC is a free fighting sport that really uses self-defense skills, while WWE is a sporting event that tends to be entertainment because the fights are artificial settings or fights to entertain the audience. But strangely there are several fighting figures who support the merging of these two sports events such as Conor McGregor and he stated that he wants to be one of the new champions. But indeed there are some WWE fighters who become UFC fighters as well as Brock Lesnar who fights at heavyweight.

Nobody wants to watch silent Ivan Drago fight. People want big mouths like Clubber Lang It is true that people do not want to watch fighters who just don't talk trash about his opponent. Very few people actually want to see good fighting. I am not saying the fighters who talk trash a lot are not good. We all know about Chael Sonnen. He was really great with trash-talking. And he also generated a lot of buzz around his fight every time. It is always fun to see a great build-up around a fight. Personally, I don't like too much trash-talking. But of course, what I like is not going to be liked by the majority probably. That is not important at all, Mike Tyson was not a likeable character, he didn't smile much and he dominated boxing for years. My prediction is that Pereira probably winning on points, unless Adesanya make huge surprise with his fighting style and dominates more with wrestling.

I really feel like he is not as good as he was before anymore. Of course, it is not like he is not good anymore. But I certainly feel that he has already been accepted by the people as one of the best in the world. Probably that has also gone into his head. He should of course stop thinking so much about promoting the fight and actually train hard enough for his opponent. Because I certainly think it is not going to be easy for him to beat Alex Pereira.

I really like Demetrious Johnson and it is not fair for the UFC to ignore him just because he doesn't reach a lot of audience going with his fight, just because he doesn't really like a lot of drama it is not really fair for him, I really like how he takes care of his family providing food on the table because that is what I am doing right now, and I love my family and seeing his life I think we are both the same in terms in taking care of our family that is why I can relate to him, well let's just say there are many people that are enjoying the drama and trash talking a lot more, they really love Israel Adesanya just because he can talk fluent English and now I know why Khabib Nurmagomedov always says to Makhachev to learn your English language, but I think Alex Pereira is getting there look at this video on youtubeWell there is the unfair treatment for many fighters in the UFC, if you can not provide the hype then Dana White will surely be unfair and will not like a fighter like that, Dana White and the UFC went thru the hoops to get and support McGregor in his foray into boxing. But the thing is if the UFC fighter lost in a boxing match it diminishes the UFC fighter's stock and in a way it also diminishes the UFC as a brand. So after McGregor vs Mayweather, the UFC isn't having more boxing matches involving fighters from their roster.
Well, you are right if UFC fighters will surely keep on losing to boxers then that is not a great image for the company, but I think that the UFC should access if their fighters can make a good shot with a boxer, in the case of Mayweather there is a huge gap with the skill of Mayweather in boxing than Conor McGregor, many can clearly see it, there are just hype of Curiority for many people that don't have a clue about MMA and boxing but I think Dana White could surely see the result but he doesn't but with the Francis Ngannou VS Tyson Fury fight for me there is a chance for Ngannou, this is just my opinion, Francis Ngannou is a smart fighter, but because of what happen he Dana White doesn't allow such thing to happen, but for me that could be a potential big fight,

Like you have mentioned Makhachev. He is like a robot that steps inside octagon, wins opponent and goes home. And on post and pre fight interviews we get "I wanna thank my team, my coach, Khabib" and that is it. Boring. That does not really trigger to buy ticket for his next fight. Pereira should take lessons from Costa https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r19z60UfYv4. But jokes aside, A+ Pereira for starting and trying to learn English.

Adesanya is also in the gym training and preparing ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) he was never lazy with that part, but I think he likes media attention more than Pereira does. It would be better for MMA sports and this division if Adesanya wins the fight, that way we could have story between this guys continue, but I am not sure if Izzy can do it. I want to see final faceoff and interviews before making my final prediction, now I am watching UFC 287 Embedded Vlog Series Episode 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cf5a-o5np4EWell, you are right if UFC fighters will surely keep on losing to boxers then that is not a great image for the company
Let boxers fight in octagon with MMA or mixed rules, and we see who wins then.

Language barrier I think is one of the reasons why some good fighters does not have title fights for long period. Like you have mentioned Makhachev. He is like a robot that steps inside octagon, wins opponent and goes home. And on post and pre fight interviews we get "I wanna thank my team, my coach, Khabib" and that is it. Boring. That does not really trigger to buy ticket for his next fight. Pereira should take lessons from Costa https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r19z60UfYv4. But jokes aside, A+ Pereira for starting and trying to learn English. Dana White is a very, very money oriented. He prioritizes money so much that I bet he will suck Conor's balls every day and night if it increases his income. Yes, money is important but Dana White is very addicted, I think he is the main barrier here for fighters. UFC would have far amazing fights if it appreciated fighters over show makers. I think that language is not a barrier in trashtalk, especially if we keep in mind that Makhachev and Khabib talk Russian which is very fluent language in offensive words and the way Russian offensive words sound, it's just, a language for fight and trashtalk. But the reason why these people don't do trashtalk is that it's not a thing that a good man should do in Dagestan, it's also against their religion and these guys are religious and family men. There comes a cultural difference which at some point is hard to explain to foreigner with different culture. If Conor was from Dagestan, no one would appreciate him in his home country because of his trashtalk, offensive actions, etc.

It will be the second official figt of Raul Rosas, and I will go all in on that guy, he is really joung, but had shown a big potential, lets remember how does he end his last fight in the first round with a choke. And what I don't know is if bet on him to win or bet on the submission. I feel like the submission would be easy money too.
And I see another big names in this event, Pereira, and Masvidal are some fighters that has given us some awesome shows in the past. Let's enjoy the UFC weekend.

^ Yup Rosas is something special but his opponent this coming weekend is kinda decent tho. If Rosas couldn't finish the match early it could get dicey for him. But then again it's a good thing as we could see how he is in the cage beyond 1.5 rounds. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FrJtJZyF.png&t=665&c=YoYpI0PeHBGx1g) These two guys looks rather familiar ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Hard to know who Volkanovski was cosplaying, but Whittaker is pure Hulk Hogan I'm pretty sure Volk is dressing up as Andre the Giant. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Anyway here's my lottery ticket for 287. Burns - Rosas Add: Godinez - Pereira Add: Bahamondes - Curtis Add: Yanez - Ponz Add: Shayilan - Meerschaert Add: Waterson - Hughes Add: Sherman Good luck to all your bets! Edit: Typos.

I also heard that the owner of UFC Endeavor has bought over 50% of WWE's shares and they stated that the UFC and WWE have now merged and become one container. I don't know whether this development can have a positive impact on the UFC or not because these two sports events are very different. UFC is a free fighting sport that really uses self-defense skills, while WWE is a sporting event that tends to be entertainment because the fights are artificial settings or fights to entertain the audience. But strangely there are several fighting figures who support the merging of these two sports events such as Conor McGregor and he stated that he wants to be one of the new champions. But indeed there are some WWE fighters who become UFC fighters as well as Brock Lesnar who fights at heavyweight. I also saw this news and I confess that when I was reading this news I even thought it was a bad combination, but then I started looking at things from another angle, what if WWE athletes were to start fighting for real without acting but it would be a fight following the rules of wrestling? no doubt this would be something very innovative that would attract attention even from people who like real fights, those moves that wrestling guys do, if it's a real fight without staging, we could see the fights at a very high level, something completely different from what we have already seen. the referee would be someone serious, the judges would also be someone serious, the winners could be decided by knockout and jury decision
with Israel Adesanya's fight approaching, he has given many interviews, at least it looks like that, and in the interviews the guy has shown that he still hasn't resigned himself to the defeats he had, so the guy will come with everything he has to win this one fight, but his problem will be on his psychological side, for example: “He knows how dangerous I am. He knows I’m not an easy fight. He knows he’s going to have to go through fire, and I’m going to make him fight for his life in this fight”. source: https://www.fightnewsaustralia.com/i-dont-keep-score-i-settle-them-israel-adesanya-is-looking-to-put-an-end-to-the-rivalry-this-weekend-at-ufc-287/if Israel Adesanya loses in this fight, no doubt it will psychologically shake him for some time, and if perreira keeps laughing at him or does things that go against Israel Adesanya, then Israel Adesanya will be psychologically destabilized easily and perreira will take advantage this to win the fight

Well, you are right if UFC fighters will surely keep on losing to boxers then that is not a great image for the company
Let boxers fight in octagon with MMA or mixed rules, and we see who wins then. No boxer will want to get humiliated by fighting with MMA rules and hence you wont see anyone after the James Toney disaster who was a decorated boxer with championships in multiple division fought Randy Couture and got finished in the first round. Two world class boxers that would fair in MMA is Vasiliy Lomachenko and Terence Crawford who have legit high level wrestling background. These two guys looks rather familiar ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Hard to know who Volkanovski was cosplaying, but Whittaker is pure Hulk Hogan Volk is impersonating Stone Cold Steve Austin. Do you think we could have mixed tournaments one day? Or see UFC heavyweight participate in WWE matches? I clearly remember I saw Mike Tyson in a wrestling match/fight. WWE being scripted, Mike Tyson was a guest whenever he appeared on WWE Tv. And we all remember Brock Lesnar, that came from WWE and performed well in UFC. This slowly turns into "is wrestling fake" discussion ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) As Lesnar was rather prepared for striking in his fight UFC fight. Brock Lesnar is a special athlete, he is a legit high level wrestler who won NCAA Division I and then the ability to switch to WWE in a short period and then moving on to MMA cannot be done by everyone unless you are a freak athlete.

Like movie actors acting in war movies participating in real war ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) . Let them do their thing acting out the moves and if they are exceptional talents then they will cross over to the real world like Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley without any contract barriers because they are legit MMA fighters but the problem is that age is not on their side. ~ I think Adesanya Fans really wanted to see him perform well and surprise the audiences about how he gonna handle this fight. But his problem is Pereira will already know exactly what he gonna do and can predict his movement easily. If Adesanya won't change his fighting style, this upcoming fight will be in favor of Pereira and it might be that the result of this fight is the same as the last one. Israel Adesanya needs to win this fight if he ever wants to become the champion and break the curse of getting defeated by Alex Pereira in any combat sports. Pereira can easily dodge and take Adesanya's punches as if it's nothing and that's just how he is always caught by surprise because there wasn't any opponent who can do that against him before. He really needs to win this fight in order to regain back his honor.
In the first fight Alex Pereira got into serious trouble in the first round and if there was a few seconds left, Israel Adesanya would have knocked him out, the bell helped him that time. Alex is a world class striker and it will be a striking battle.

If Adesanya win this fight, there's should be a third fight in soon to make sure which one is really win the fight and was not a fluke. Looking at the other fighters history, usually when someone lost in the first fight, they will perform better in the second fight. But Adesanya and Pereira already met for 3 times and Pereira always win. Judging from the previous fight, Adesanya should win if it goes to distance, but not sure with the next fight since the judges might favor to Pereira. Anyway Roobet has an interesting promotion for Adesanya vs Pereira event, if you bet Pereira to win in the pre match, Roobet will double your winnings up to $100. https://promotions.roobet.com/promotions/ufc287-alex-pereiraMr Roo will double the win for all Users betting on Alex Pereira win as long as they place their Bet before the fight starts in the pre-match section of the Sportsbook up to 100 (one hundred) Roollion. So, for example, if you win 15 (fifteen) Roollion through Alex Pereira win, regardless of the odds, we will double your win and pay you 30 (thirty) Roollion instead. (15 x2= 30)

I dont know if this is true and they can always have mixed rules that would be between boxing and MMA. Tyson Fury said in public that he wants to fight with Francis Ngannou and that he would accept something like that. I really want to see this fight happening and it can be with any rules they want ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

But during round one, fighters were allowed to do throws and standing wrestle. This was made specially, to make fight more exciting and last longer, because in past not many fighters managed and knew how to escape kneebars and achilles locks. (I am speaking about 90s era, when Pride, Pancrase and etc promotions were on top).

Adesanya was always cautious, he preferred to wait for the right moment and his anthropometry allowed him to have an advantage in his strategy. I don't know if it's possible to say that Pereira knows exactly what he will do, because Adesanya will also want to change something in his strategy so as not to be too predictable for the opponent. Perhaps Adesanya will have to act at some point in an unusual manner for him in order to count on a confident victory, and not hope for positive decisions from the judges, if it comes to that. Pereira will go forward, I have no doubt about it, he feels very confident against Adesanya, he knows on a subconscious level that he has defeated this opponent many times.
