First on the agenda is the shortcut kick. Much to-do has been made about the low kicks of Alex Pereira, and rightfully so. They've crippled the best of the best in MMA and kickboxing. We will go over what makes Alex Pereira's kicks so different from the rest of his compatriots with a comparison to Jose Aldo. We will also talk about how Alex Pereira approaches a southpaw different from an orthodox fighter.
Of course, the left hook has to be discussed, right? Alex Pereira has made his left hook a mythical weapon in his arsenal. He's used it to subdue opponents from escaping. We will have Miguel Class, one of the brightest minds in MMA film study, break down how Alex Pereira utilizes his left hook differently from one like Tim Tszyu. We will also look at Alex Pereira's finish of Sean Strickland and how his level change is similar to that of Joe Frazier.

Next up, we will talk about how Alex Pereira operates in the clinch. He often smashes the body with a knee as his main deterrent and takes an overhook to prevent easy double leg takedowns. When taken down, Poatan will exclusively wall walk up and muscle his way to a break in the clinch with another whizzer and more knees.
Alex Pereira is not perfect by any stretch. He's not great if the cage is taken away from him and is pretty much dead in the water. He also is very prone to bite on feints. But with his power, he can get away with just that.
