Matt Serra warns Alex Pereira ahead of his first Light Heavyweight bout

The former UFC Welterweight king, Matt Serra, recently caught up with the UFC color commentator and podcaster, Joe Rogan, on an episode of his podcast. Along with a volley of other topics, Serra also talked about the famed former UFC Middleweight champ, Alex Pereira’s next and first Light Heavyweight bout at UFC 291 against Jan Blachowicz.

He revealed his opinion after comparing Pereira to his archrival, Israel Adesanya. He said, “Izzy is harder to get down than Alex and I think Jan is gonna get him down and I don’t think he is getting up”. Georges St-Pierre’s former rival also revealed how Blachowicz constantly kicks his opponent’s shins and that he had “f*cked [Magomed] Ankalaev” with the same technique.

Do you think Serra’s prediction will come true? Or do you think ‘Poatan’s’ hands will be enough to prove him wrong?
