And from what I can recall, after spending himself trying to keep Pereira down (and failing), Pereira got up and poll-axked the dude with a flying switch knee.
Which is pretty much my point, these little guys are not to be able to keep Pereira down.
Even former 205 LHW Champ, Jan Błachowicz, couldn't keep Pereira down for more than a round. Jan survived Pereira, but he was almost put away in the second.
These little guys are not going to take Alex' punches like the much larger Jan could.
Chimaev could almost definitely take Pereira down and keep him down. he is a far better and more explosive grappler than Blachowicz
comparing Chimaev to Blachwicz is just dishonest. the way Chimaev shoots for his takedowns is completely different
