Alex Pereira would still lose against this amateur fighter
‘Poatan’ shared the story of a fighter who defeated him multiple times in his career and would defeat him again if they ever faced each other. The middleweight champion shared an exclusive story and said “I’m gonna say something, that I never told anyone.” “I have 28 fights in amateur, I won 25 of them by knockout.”
The 35-year-old boasted an impressive record when he was an amateur fighter in Brazil. But there was one fighter that proved to be a thorn in Alex Pereira’s side. “I lost 3 fights. 3 Times to the same guy.” He explained how he wanted to beat the guy back then, but later on, understood that he could never do so. “The styles don’t match.”
Despite him being away from the ring, the current middleweight champion admitted that he’ll still not be able to win against him. “If I fight him 10 times, I’LL LOSE. Adesanya needs to get that.”
Similarly, ‘Poatan’ claimed he will always get the best of Israel Adesanya due to their fighting style. Adesanya needed to cope with that fact.
Fans predict UFC President Dana White will sign this fighter
Fans thought UFC boss Dana White would be eager to bring in that unknown fighter to the UFC. Also spoke about how Alex Pereira is smart in choosing his opponents.
- UFC Promotion team is already stalking the guy on airports.
- “Get in kid, I have an offer that you can’t refuse” Dana to some dude in his 40s right now
- Dana:”FIND AND HIRE THAT GUY!”
- “Get in kid, we’re gonna give you 15 to show and 15 to win.”
- Smart man. I think he’d realise Whittaker’s style is more dangerous to him than Adesanya’s as well.
- Islam Dagestanya
- Whit is a tiny tiny man compared to Alex
- Adesanya beats Whittaker. Whittaker beats alex Alex beats adesanya. Rock paper scissors
