Blindado about Alex Pereira: i have to shut him off

[KOPPE]

“[This win] puts me in the top 15, which is my goal,”. “I’m not thinking about [Israel] Adesanya or Robert
right now. That’s going to be inevitable, of course. If I continue working and winning, that’s going to be inevitable. I always focus on my next fight. So, for me to go to the top 15, ‘Poatan’ is standing in front of me and I have to shut him off.

“[Some said] I shouldn’t have taken it, ‘you’re going to die.’ I said, my friend, the biggest pressure I had so far in my life was fighting in Russia. UFC is the biggest promotion in the world, but I didn’t feel the same pressure in the UFC like I felt fighting in Russia. And I don’t think I’ll feel the same thing I felt in Russia.

Definitely a good thing and a must to believe in yourself.

However, he is likely going to ask the ref what happened.

You left out the best quote of the article. "This is the only sport in the world where a drunk can beat a professional.”

Reminds me of Tony Galento the boxer who fought Joe Louis. His Wikipedia page reads like a made up story.

Blindado means armored, bullet proof. But the problem is Alex brings depleted uranium ammo.

So neither guy is top 15 as of right now, right? Sorry for being too lazy to google.

Never heard of him, his wiki is a great read! Thanks for the nod sherbro.

On topic, yeah confidence is good, we'll have to see what happens obviously, I don't know much about this guy outside of the Izzy connection.

Alex was the first double champion in Glory history. it might not mean much in mma but i wouldnt group him with Silva

 

[FORXREAL]

I hope he does. I like his kill or be killed style. This was clearly a Cherry picked matchup by his opponent.

I feel bad for the guy who beat Adesanya 2-3 months before Pereira KOd him. He gets no recognition or credit lol
