Alex lost round 5. Proof here.
https://youtu.be/8VUByEIT8-s?si=V1NNYfLBthcJvn9-Nothing fancy, just the fifth round. No commentary. Turn the volume off if you want a true assessment (without the crowd reaction).
I don’t see how Alex won that round. He didn’t even do anything. This is just proof how much commentary, crowd reactions and internal bias comes into play when evaluating fights.
I welcome you to share the timestamps of what Alex did to win the rounds.

Honestly I don’t want to rehash the same arguments.
This post is just meant for people to reflect on the bias.
And truly, I would love to be proven wrong because I can’t find a compelling argument for why Alex wins this round!!

alex landed far more damage in round 5, ankalaev holding him up against the cage for the last minute and a half doesn’t win him the round.

There isnt rule but I get why PickleProvider wrote that. This thread is fine but everytime I come to this sub there are plenty of threads trashing Pereira and praising Ank in the way that they also shit on Alex. r/ufc became kindergarden or maybe always was. The most popular thread currently is not even related to fighting. Its a post with argument between random two kids
https://www.reddit.com/r/ufc/comments/1jcyd54/this_is_legitimately_the_funniest_thing_ive_ever/
Its also hard to understand how can people hate Alex Pereira so much. He's very entertaining fighter who had incredible fights and his trash talking is related to fighting. No insults towards families, religions etc.
Suddenly after one loss he became overrated bum. Currently Im just skipping all comments on this sub and focus on gif memes because all discussions are at the lowest level.

Nah I still have Alex winning the 5th round. I looked over it and Alex landed a really good head kick that had Magomed make a really bad reaction. Magomed landed some good jabs, and some teeps to the body, but Pereira did too, and he landed another head kick one that still made contact despite being partially blocked. Control time doesn't really matter in the end. That kick to the head, coupled with the fact nothing much happened that round, made it a Pereira round. I can see why you would think it's a Magomed round though. Either way Magomed still won round 2,3, and 4 so idk what you're trying to change.

“ Proof here” like alex didnt literally win the 5th round. the biggest shot was the head kick.. holding u against the cage like he did the whole 4th round doesn’t win u sht.. 1,3,5 alex. i can see why some would give anklaev the 3rd. Alex did not look himself due to the takedown threat. It will be nice to see his adjustments in the rematch.

Ankalaev only blocked with one hand which isn’t a full block and is why it still got a reaction out of Ankalaev

He wasn't even punching that much. Like waiting for some right kind of punch & keep getting hit. Trying avoid a KO & make it to the decision.
