Alex Pereira Training for Magomed Ankalaev Like 'Any Other Guy'

[RichardHarrow]

For whatever reason, I don’t think this fight is going to happen

This is definitely a likelihood.

Good, no need to change, thats when all the problems happens. Its got him to be champ. The old and true saying ''if it ain't broke don't fix it''.

 

[Nihongi]

Sir.


This gif is from the future.

What troubles me is that Alex started his camp in Danbury, flew to Aus to do some PR stuff, brought his camp there and now less than 3 weeks out is back Danbury.

I know he's a champ in multiple divisions in different sports but this does not seem like the best idea.

Smells like an moderate upset looming.

 

[BJJ4Tone]

Why? He’s been a great addition to the UFC. What he’s accomplished in such a short amount of time is very impressive to me.

You're right. He's been great and great for the UFC.
It's not him I don't like, as much as his worshippers.

Obviously, may the best man win!

 

[BJJ4Tone]

Yeah, I too hate active champs who are always in exciting fights. Screw that Alex guy.

We're all entitled to our opinions.

He's been training on the road globally for the last few years straight. This is all fairly normal for him.

In any event, there really isn't anything special to prepare for Ank - he's primarily a striker and even if he decides to wrestle, he's not some submission whizz. Alex trains counter wrestling and grappling everywhere he trains and for every fight.

I think this fight turns out to be a lot more thrilling than many are expecting.
