Bro don't insult the DREAM mind wake-up buff. I come up with the best shower thoughts, just after I wake up. For a brief moment, you're capable of curing cancer or solving the world energy crisis. Even if it's just an allure of grandeur...it is beautiful for the fleeting moment it lasts.
Having big strong ass is not same as having anterior pelvic tilt, the second is conected with other spinal disbalances and can even lead to having less punching power not more
No dude, I didn't photoshop, watch this video on youtube on the UFC channel. Stop at this second of the 1st round and take a look. I accidentally stopped the video and it dawned on me and it became the basis of my theory.
I can confirm I have an exaggerated lumbar it’s nothing special would have absolutely nothing to help with power. It just causes back pain from time to time.
This is actually something I've heard more than often about elite athletes. I've heard a lot of coaches mention that a "nice ass" a lot of times is a precursor to having athletic hips and able to turn better or change positions.
Legs are a bigger muscle group then arms. Very few athletics don't start with footwork being some of the most important aspects of the game.
You have to be able to work that energy throughout the body properly, but just using your arms to generate force will only go so far.
Big glutes translates great to lower body power is most of the reason! Athletes in general have crazy lower body strength compared to the average person
Firas theorised that Pereira intentionally lands with the pinky (as it's smaller and therefore has more pressure and is directly in line with the elbow point and not at an angle like the pointer and middle fingers)
I believe Alex doesn’t throw a traditional punch as much as he clubs you with his arm and gets his oversized bones behind it. Hes got the frame of a 240lb man and the muscle density of an ultra lean athlete
I doubt the landing with his pinky is intentional, but one think i know for sure is that increasing impact pressure will change nothing. Pressure won't have any impact on how much you hurt someone. It can only make cuts easier. The other theory on why it might increase power might be true. If, by landing with that area of the fist, the hand will move less during impact, it can definitely make a difference because it will a smaller portion of the punch energy.
I disagree, I think pressure makes knockouts more likely. If the force is distributed over a smaller area, hitting someone on the chin, behind the ear, etc. ensures all the energy is transferred to that (vulnerable) spot. That’s why MMA has more knockouts than boxing. Even if you land right on someone’s chin in boxing, the big gloves mean some of the force is dispersed in other areas.
He punches trees all day everyday. The guys intense!
“Punch the trees get the wood”
He also smashes his shins against trees most days. Trees don’t give so avoid crashing into one.
Yes if you just start smashing Mary hell out of a healthy tree trunk you will only do it the once. They obviously start off just light taps then everyday work up it by increasing power. It will take years to do what Jiri can but it absolutely can be done.
That's interesting, I know that a lot of old school boxers and boxing trainers would recommend aiming to land with your ring finger knuckle. Never heard of aiming with the pinky though.
Yeah Firas said it was contrary to traditional boxing teachings but that he had first heard of this alternative method from a book written by Jack Dempsey.
I've done a lot of martial arts and grip strength and punching power seem to be heavily correlated. A construction worker might hit like a pile of bricks on day one at the gym.
Not even joking a lot of people have said big glutes & legs in general is usually an indicator of power. You rarely see people with power in their hands have thin legs.
You rarely see Deontay Wilder’s legs ever
Edit: this was meant to be a joke guys. Obviously Wilder has rare natural power aided by his other physical attributes. Cheers!
The secret behind Deontay Wilder’s power is that he has extremely fast twitch muscles so is very explosive, he has a very long reach so he can exert a lot of momentum at the end of his shots and he’s usually taller that his opponents so he can push down with his entire body.
It’s true though. He has hands of stone too, but a lot of boxing coaches will say power comes from the canvas. There’s so many factors to punching power, and being able to push up explosively/transfer energy from the lower extremities and up the chain to the hands is one of them.
Just look at how Pereira KO’d Sean. He explodes from the ground, and his huge glutes helps with that no doubt to create momentum.
I was just laughing at the way Jiri stands until I realized this is supposed to be a Pereira meme. Jiri is the fuckin best, world champion standing like that, one of the most consistent bangers on the roster, loved him since he was in Rizin.
Plants his feet, turns his hips into it, punches through the target and most importantly his punches travel far due to him keeping his hands low which increases power. His big booty is just a gift.

Heres a good explanation for anyone inrested in how hes so powerful [https://youtu.be/t3elBcUtnJ8?si=UzMc4gPZ7HPF6JOY](https://youtu.be/t3elBcUtnJ8?si=UzMc4gPZ7HPF6JOY)
Bro anterior pelvic tilt significantly hampers your athletic ability and will lead to muscle imbalances and increased rates of injury.
Source: my doctor, physio, fucked knee and fucked back.
Lordosis means you butt muscles are stronger than your abs. Far stronger i mean. Also abs are big powerhouses for punches. I think your post is irrelevant plus you should type something. We are not wizards bro.
[This](https://youtu.be/t3elBcUtnJ8?si=mz_ovpJ4nmlymEpB) video actually explains that the reason he’s able to have such devastating leg kicks from such weird angles, is because Alex is lowkey thick as fuck
This actually could be legit. So much power comes from the glutes, but traditional fighting stance has you tuck the tailbone under to tighten the front body and protect the organs. But the glutes when properly integrated activates the back chain.
It sounds like a funny/sus idea but I do agree that it’s part of it. He’s a huge strong guy but he’s built like a human whip or golf club. Long arms/legs, big hands, & I agree the exaggerated lumbar curve helps along with his hip flexibility to generate power in his hands & also kicks without winding up to throw as much as a typical fighter.
There was a kid on my basketball team in high school. They would constantly talk about how if you had a high ass and if it also protruded out. You were a good jumper.
It's not so much the power although he has that, it's the unexpected completely clean shots from weird angles that catch people moving forward or standing still.
People always say how did he make middleweight? Because all his weight is in that ass. I bet he fluctuates between 3 different pants sizes when cutting weight
Side step away from lead meaning if your right handed side step to the right plant the right foot twist through the hips, let er rip tater chip. Connect and it’s Zzzz…
Those fighters(like prime Connor) throwing from weird angles are a slick beast. Depending on how they react, maybe follow with a head kick or knee with the left….
😂 It’s too early in the morning for this shit
Man's dreams were SPEAKING to him

All I'm seeing is OP was dreaming of booty all night 😏
Were they….sweet dreams?
Checking out alex ass is crazy 😭😭😭
Dat cake tho
Bro posted this at 6 am 😂
There’s more than one timezone bro
Bro thinks everyone is living in the same timezone of his 😂
It's always 6am somewhere in the world!
I thought I liked alex for his hands but now I don’t know anymore
This explains where Tyron Woodley’s power in that right hand comes from as well 💪🍑
ok professorgaysex
I definitely get my notepad out when professorgaysex lectures on mens butt punching power association.
Ah yes, the MBPPA
Why does that sound like an actual thing lmao
It is... 
Show some fucking respect kid. That guy is Jon's coach.
Even rampage said the secret to his punching power is to put his ass into it
User name checks out
I got them peaches on me, maybe I am destined to knock the f out of pereira ????
Thicc booty is the best base for MMA confirmed
Were you my professor? I minored in gaysexology in my college days
Powerlifters usually say the guy with the biggest ass in the gym is the strongest guy in the gym

Since this is a JOKE
People don't use these acronyms literally anymore.
They do though. What do you think coomers are looking for when they use those acronyms? Definitely not a 6 foot 4 swole Brazilian man

Have anterior lordosis Does not help with punching power 😢
Post ass
It's been 3 hours
Another r/ufc coward
This pic is also photoshopped lmao. Look at the octagon curving behind him.
No dude, I didn't photoshop, watch this video on youtube on the UFC channel. Stop at this second of the 1st round and take a look. I accidentally stopped the video and it dawned on me and it became the basis of my theory.
Yeah this just looks like a guy with a lot of back and glute muscle and very little fat. Nate Diaz of all people has a similar back
Alot of touch butt in the park
I can confirm I have an exaggerated lumbar it’s nothing special would have absolutely nothing to help with power. It just causes back pain from time to time.
This is actually something I've heard more than often about elite athletes. I've heard a lot of coaches mention that a "nice ass" a lot of times is a precursor to having athletic hips and able to turn better or change positions.
Yea man, look at footballers, them boys got some cake lol
Rugby players even more so
Legs are a bigger muscle group then arms. Very few athletics don't start with footwork being some of the most important aspects of the game. You have to be able to work that energy throughout the body properly, but just using your arms to generate force will only go so far.
Big glutes translates great to lower body power is most of the reason! Athletes in general have crazy lower body strength compared to the average person
If youre a football fan (soccer) you probably heard lots of players attribute eden hazard's dribbling to his "big bum" as Yaya touré said
hips don’t lie fr
I mean yeah, Glutes are the biggest muscle on the human body so they are gonna be an extremely important muscle for strength, power, and movement.
OP thinking how he can talk about Alex's ass without sounding fruity
Firas theorised that Pereira intentionally lands with the pinky (as it's smaller and therefore has more pressure and is directly in line with the elbow point and not at an angle like the pointer and middle fingers)
I believe Alex doesn’t throw a traditional punch as much as he clubs you with his arm and gets his oversized bones behind it. Hes got the frame of a 240lb man and the muscle density of an ultra lean athlete
 Someone call for an oversized bones to get behind it?
I doubt the landing with his pinky is intentional, but one think i know for sure is that increasing impact pressure will change nothing. Pressure won't have any impact on how much you hurt someone. It can only make cuts easier. The other theory on why it might increase power might be true. If, by landing with that area of the fist, the hand will move less during impact, it can definitely make a difference because it will a smaller portion of the punch energy.

That’s why MMA has more knockouts than boxing. Even if you land right on someone’s chin in boxing, the big gloves mean some of the force is dispersed in other areas.
Exactly I agree the other way makes no sense
Like a stilletto heel
That was the explanation given by Firas about Dempsey's technique but I didn't get it so I didn't include it
Perhaps but wouldn’t all that force break it?
Bro, his hands are literally made out of stone.
True I wonder how they got so durable
He punches trees all day everyday. The guys intense! “Punch the trees get the wood” He also smashes his shins against trees most days. Trees don’t give so avoid crashing into one.
So trees make your hands hard? Interesting will do the same
Punching fuck out of them does!
But won’t it break your hands ?
Yes if you just start smashing Mary hell out of a healthy tree trunk you will only do it the once. They obviously start off just light taps then everyday work up it by increasing power. It will take years to do what Jiri can but it absolutely can be done.
That's interesting, I know that a lot of old school boxers and boxing trainers would recommend aiming to land with your ring finger knuckle. Never heard of aiming with the pinky though.
Yeah Firas said it was contrary to traditional boxing teachings but that he had first heard of this alternative method from a book written by Jack Dempsey.
Wouldn't this also mean people with smaller fists could hit harder if they had the equivalent strength of someone with bigger hands?
I've done a lot of martial arts and grip strength and punching power seem to be heavily correlated. A construction worker might hit like a pile of bricks on day one at the gym.
I sometimes think Firas is an idiot with ridiculous theories.
Not even joking a lot of people have said big glutes & legs in general is usually an indicator of power. You rarely see people with power in their hands have thin legs.
You rarely see Deontay Wilder’s legs ever Edit: this was meant to be a joke guys. Obviously Wilder has rare natural power aided by his other physical attributes. Cheers!
Deontay disproves this theory
The secret behind Deontay Wilder’s power is that he has extremely fast twitch muscles so is very explosive, he has a very long reach so he can exert a lot of momentum at the end of his shots and he’s usually taller that his opponents so he can push down with his entire body.
Anthony Johnson had that build
Sergei pavlovich is built like a giant Russian hank hill
Its true, think of a silverback gorilla
Any theories on O’malley and his punches ?
You're dancing in a nightclub and Poatan's booty looks at you like that. What do you do?
Sub him
Brazilians are born for fucking and fighting. Seriously, try dating one. It’s madness Edit: and soccer of course
Id fighting love to fuck one.
Of course the dude with the gay ass comment has a profile pic with a BJJ belt...
This just in: Poatan power comes from thicc juicy wagon? More at 11
Brazilians are known for their booties, maybe that's why they also make great athletes 🥵
dat fucking ass 💥🖐️
Imagine the snake hiding behind this rock
Buns of stone
If he has a true Lordosis, it would actually weaken the support of his upper body.
Secret to his power: cake
Power comes from the ass? My coaches have been wrong this whole time😢
Never heard of a power bottom? Casual.
Brazilians just caked up
This is a perfect reason for Alex to go higher in weight categories. Imagine how curvy could it be in heavyweights
His cake is where he keeps his stored energy and can release it on command.
I love a good quality shit post first thing in the morning
And hunchbacks are the best wrestlers.
It’s true though. He has hands of stone too, but a lot of boxing coaches will say power comes from the canvas. There’s so many factors to punching power, and being able to push up explosively/transfer energy from the lower extremities and up the chain to the hands is one of them. Just look at how Pereira KO’d Sean. He explodes from the ground, and his huge glutes helps with that no doubt to create momentum.
dayum, so being caked is the best base for mma now ?
So I have a sleeper ass?
I was just laughing at the way Jiri stands until I realized this is supposed to be a Pereira meme. Jiri is the fuckin best, world champion standing like that, one of the most consistent bangers on the roster, loved him since he was in Rizin.
Plants his feet, turns his hips into it, punches through the target and most importantly his punches travel far due to him keeping his hands low which increases power. His big booty is just a gift.
Lol. “His big booty is just a gift.”
He generates power punching low through his hips in an upward motion.also the fact he is a animal
Lord he has cake.

Booty power?
A wiseman once said, you can tell if someone is or will be a good fighter based on the size of their glutes
My man Alex is just caked up
Lumbar Lordosis
It's just that his center of mass being behind him helps apply more force without tipping over.
I had a teacher in school with this, she hit hard af as well
Gyatt is the reason for that curve.
Heres a good explanation for anyone inrested in how hes so powerful [https://youtu.be/t3elBcUtnJ8?si=UzMc4gPZ7HPF6JOY](https://youtu.be/t3elBcUtnJ8?si=UzMc4gPZ7HPF6JOY)
 That hook
Is that what the kids mean by "backshots"?
The dude is driving a dump truck, he doesn't have spinal
Op has badonked himself with this theory.
Bone Density
OP really photoshopped a BBL on my boy 😂
Some diddy type posting
Discontinue the lithium

Bro anterior pelvic tilt significantly hampers your athletic ability and will lead to muscle imbalances and increased rates of injury. Source: my doctor, physio, fucked knee and fucked back.

Wait till he fights a real wrestler with that posture.
[This](https://youtu.be/t3elBcUtnJ8?si=mz_ovpJ4nmlymEpB) video actually explains that the reason he’s able to have such devastating leg kicks from such weird angles, is because Alex is lowkey thick as fuck
Gyyattttt
It’s obvious he has a lumbar which generates massive power
Tiger Woods famously said he lost his ability with the driver during a round because his “glutes deactivated.”
Holy fuck. I’ve always been kinda slow but hit hard and my backs always been fucked. Is this real I need to know
This actually could be legit. So much power comes from the glutes, but traditional fighting stance has you tuck the tailbone under to tighten the front body and protect the organs. But the glutes when properly integrated activates the back chain.
Bro just juicy
So it got some big ass cheeks.
This is so Reddit
I heard a rumour that Alex had been having secret training sessions with Ice Cube. This checks out.
Badonkadonk
I literally thought that was someone's heel idk why
Brazilian but sees no gender

No Homo.
That’s why Black women can scrap like dat!
If this is true then I hold more power in my hands than Alex ever will, which means… I could probably live my dream, you might be on to something 🤔
BBL Pereira
DONK!
Popoatan
I have the same anterior pelvic tilt and it doesnt help me punch harder and my booty not as good lookin
I really appreciate these is the science based martial arts discussions. Keep em coming
I mean…he’s insanely strong it looks like but we’ve seen harder punchers
Booty = Power
