Alex Pereira does it! (And other UFC 281 thoughts)
🕑 Added 2022-11-13 10:59:02 +0000 UTCYou know a fight has everything that makes a fight great when you can talk about just that fight for over thirty minutes, and that is what we had with Alex Pereira vs. Israel Adesanya III. Crazily enough, the MMA installment of a rivalry between two kickboxers wound up being the absolute best.
I don't talk about all the card in much depth at all (which you would discover when you listen to this episode) but I still offer some thoughts on the event, which was quite honestly a spectacular one. But nothing hits quite as hard as the main event, hence why I was compelled to talk about it for so long. Two notes about this episode: very strong language and there's a false ending so make sure to stick around to the actual end.

As of me typing this comment it's probably only a couple of hours before the episode of Heavy Hands I'm on drops and we talk about this at length! Hope you enjoy it mate
Kyle McLachlan
Shame as he's capable of more
Kyle McLachlan
Between 3 aand 4 deffo. But he came surging back!

Heavy hands was spot on with the “you can’t let a power puncher stick around for 25 minutes” take. Lost my mind
Scott Turnbull
Israel Adesanya's title reign has been pretty miserable to be honest.

Thought I saw despondency from Alex in the 4th, but nope, man pulls through.

Still can’t believe Alex pulled it off! I had him winning and had lost hope by the start of the 5th, but man that left hand is the great equalizer… thank god this card was better than 280, more than made up for it
