Daniel Cormier and Joe Rogan impressed with Alex Pereira
There’s no easy way of saying it other than just saying it. It’s not easy to make it in the UFC. Fighters spend years achieving professional victories to get into the promotion. And Pereira has done the same. However, no new fighter has advanced in the promotion as fast as the stone-faced emoji of the UFC has.
Recently, Cormier and Rogan took a moment to reflect on his career in the organization. Surprisingly, the fighter hasn’t fought as many matches as you would expect from a two-division champ. And that’s an impressive feat no matter how you put it out there.

Rogan is a profound observer of all martial arts. Whether it’s about wrestling or Muay Thai, the podcaster and color commentator knows everything. And he sees a fighter in Alex Pereira that’s completely different from everyone else. A true specialist in his own right.
