MMA star Alex Pereira recently responded to the assertion made by Magomed Ankalaev`s coach, who suggested that Pereira lacks significant knockout power. Pereira, renowned for his devastating striking ability, was quick to dismiss the claim with a confident and strategic retort.
During a recent press conference, Pereira directly challenged the skepticism surrounding his power, stating:
“I lack knockout power? That`s merely talk. Ankalaev`s coach might have observed something in our particular bout, but he also witnessed the decisive outcomes of my other fights. Even seasoned referee Marc Goddard remarked that he had never seen anything quite like it. It`s actually preferable if he believes that; a surprise awaits him.”
Pereira`s comments indicate that he views this perceived underestimation as a potential advantage, hinting that opponents who doubt his finishing capabilities might be in for an unexpected experience in future encounters.
