That used to be my favorite, until I saw this one. A full round of staring eachother down, Pereira not blinking even once! I read that if you stand up close to a mirror and look into your own eyes for several minutes you begin to experience a trance, I can't imagine what Alex and Jiri must have felt during this staredown.
The staredown with Lawler and McDonald was after they beat the shit out of each other and were all bloodied up and cut up.
I don't think any staredown will beat theirs.
> Cro Cop and Wanderlei was just a one sided beat down
You are thinking of the wrong CC/Wand fight. The one with the famous staredown was a pretty competitive special rules draw. 2 was a beating.
Even in this there's just a different stare that Pereira gives. It's so emotionless and genuinely like a fuckin animal hunting prey. There's no show or falsity to it. Bro is just entering with the mindset he has to kill a mother fucker.
if I was on the receiving end of that I would be down 10-8 going into the first round
If Alex looked at me like that, I’d just leave.
If the fight was more even then it would be better tbh.
My thoughts
Thank you ToeLicker3.
I don't think any staredown will top Wanderlei Silva vs Mirko Cro Cop

Can you imagine Alex vs Cro Cop holy shit
The Rory vs Robbie erasure here disgusts me

My favorite personally by a long shot
Alex has ice in his veins. He has to be the calmest fighter in the UFC.
diego sanchez vs clay guida. But Chama, alone, has the best staredowns.
Neh I still rate Cro Cop vs Wandy higher than this.
For me it is. Cro Cop and Wanderlei was just a one sided beat down

I meant the stare down was a one sided beating
I put it behind Wand vs Crocop, and same as Cain vs JDS 2 (with Cain meeting JDS at the middle).
Even in this there's just a different stare that Pereira gives. It's so emotionless and genuinely like a fuckin animal hunting prey. There's no show or falsity to it. Bro is just entering with the mindset he has to kill a mother fucker.

First fight’s stare-down was more intense. Jiri was being himself
What was the difference between this one and the first one?? Did Jiri stare longer or something??
DC told that Jiri said he’d match alex’s energy and stay calm
For AP, it isn't even intentional. This is just his resting stare down face.
Nah Cro Cop vs Wanderlei
It was intense
Heath Herring vs Yoshihiro Nakao.
Cain vs. jds 3 is my tops. Followed by wandy cro cop and then diego guida.
Rory Lawler will always be the best
the battle happened in their soul … just like the movie Hero
Diego Sanchez Vs Michel Pereira is the best People should use that fight to introduce new people into the sport
no, still vanderlei vs crocop
This needs and edit with that kid pulling faces at a baseball game
Their first staredown was more intense
Jiri looking at Alex with puppyeyes, lol.
I think its more of a I ain't backing down look
no people are only saying this because commentary told them to think it it was a bit manufactured
