This is 100% right. It's hilarious how the Sherdog propaganda argument keeps going back to "durrrre he's not a wrestler, he's a great striker who can also take anyone down whenever the fuck he feels like it....but he's not a wrestler!"
Somehow being super well rounded became a bad thing in their eyes. And yes he prefers to strike, and it's funny because when an opponent takes him down like Nemkov, he gets annoyed and then decides to gorilla fuck them on the ground to make a point.
He takes down whoever the fuck he feels like taking down. Jan stuffed Jacare all day long yet when Ank decided he wanted Jan on his asshole, that's where the fuck he put him, and there wasn't a damn fuckin thing Jan could do about it.
I actually love Pereira so it sucks to say this, but I'm worried about him not only losing but getting literally fucked by Ank, and it messing with his whole psyche. Ank will put him face down ass up and whisper shit in his ear and it's psychologically fucking devastating when that happens to a masculine male. It's going to be so painful to watch. A lot of people don't realize that this is part of male hetero dominance rituals in certain parts of the world, ignorant Americans need to read more worldly material.
