Idk man, this is gonna be a crazy take to majority of fans, but I kinda think Alex career is more impressive than the vast majority of the โGOATSโ of MMA. He was literally a kickboxer man ๐ญ He came over and ran through the UFC and it was all cuz Izzy said he was at a pub
Alex Pereira ๐ฟ:
-3x UFC champion
-2x light heavy champion
-Double champion
-7 wins against champions
-8 of 12 UFC fights were title fights
-8 of 10 UFC wins were knockouts
-Snapped a total of a 55 undefeated streak across opponents
Truly one of the GOATs ๐ #ufc
๐จ The UFC pound-for-pound rankings have been updated following #UFC317
Ilia Topuria is the new #1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world, and Alexandre Pantoja moves up 4 spots to #5
On June 28, another dream will come true. Iโll be the champion of the lightweight division. Charles, my apologies in advanceโฆ Iโm just fighting for my dreams. Itโs unfortunate that Makhachev ran away. 17-0 ๐น
@AAshiqneza@ElonovMMA @FearIsATool17 Knocking out two of the best featherweights of all time, and future hall of famers in back to back fights isnโt deserving enough ? ๐คฃ If illia doesnโt deserve an immediate title shot at 55, then Islam doesnโt deserve one at 70. Itโs a two way street bud
It starts small...
A little entitlement here.
A little resentment there.
Then one day, you wake up bitter as F%$&.
The one who pulled them out of the dark?
Now they act like they did it all on their own.
The boss who gave them their shot?
Now they complain about stupid shit instead of remembering the opportunity they were given.
The wife or husband they used to admire?
Now they pick them apart instead of remembering why they fell in love in the first place.
The business they once loved?
Now they whine because it's not "fun" anymore.
This is how people sabotage their own lives.
They lose gratitude...
And when gratitude goes, destruction follows.
Divorce.
Failure.
Mediocrity.
Unhappiness.
Every single time.
You think it's the situation that changed?
No.
It's you that changed.
You stopped appreciating.
You started expecting.
You let your mind turn into the devil's playground.
The second you stop seeing the blessing, you start taking shit for granted.
Your marriage.
Your business.
Your friendships.
Your edge.
True professionals? They catch themselves.
They recognize when their gratitude is slipping, and they fix it before they wreck everything they built.
Gratitude isn't just about being thankful...
It's about protecting your perspective.
It's about showing up with the same fire you had when you first got the opportunity.
It's about honoring the things you once prayed for instead of always chasing more.
You want a better life?
Take care of the one you have.
Treat your relationships like they matter.
Treat your career like the blessing it is.
Treat your team, your spouse, your kids, your country like you actually give a shit.
Then watch how much more God gives you.
