Media Alex Pereira was about to pull out from UFC 307

[AldoStillGoat]

Daniel Cormier reveals that the Alex Pereira camp let the UFC know that they may pull out of #UFC307 before heading to Salt Lake City. This would have resulted in Pennington vs Pena being the main-event. “The UFC said to him ‘That would suck, but let us know how it goes. We have two title fights, we’ll elevate one if that’s what we need to do’.”

You could tell he was sick he was coughing between every round in corner.

You just know some butt hurt Sherdogger would have brought a bomb belt for that!

Honestly the most exciting fighter i have seen in mma.. at least in terms of champions. Even his walk to the cage reminds me of prime Tyson with the Aura he has there. 4 title fights in 11 months all brutal KO wins. I csnt even remember another fighter doing that. maybe Fedor in Pride but who else?

I'm 7 months he has as many title fight Kos as Conors career.

On the contrary, it's the first time a Champion has

1. Defended his title 3x in less than 6 months;
2. One of which was on short-notice;
3. Twice of which while injured and/or ill, and
4. KO'd everyone in the process.

Alex Pereira is in a class by himself.

He KO'd 2 of his opponents last 2 opponents within 2 rounds so yeah, a quick turn around would be expected... it says more about his KO abilities then anything else and his willingness to stay active

It was pretty obvious that something was wrong with him. He looked really weak in the fight. A healthy Pereira would've stopped Rountree in the first round.

It says a lot more than just that, dumb ass.

Jones got an easy submission win over Gane in March of 2023 — and hasn't fought in nearly 2 years.

3 years before that, was his struggle with Reyes in February of 2020.

He got injured, he's old and he kept getting busted for steroids...
