Alex Pereira hits out at fellow UFC countryman | MMA News
Alex Pereira was less than happy with a fellow UFC fighter who hypothetically guess against him.
Those who have opposed ‘Poatan’ throughout his MMA journey have not had a lot success. The South American has been a power since switching from kickboxing, having one of the quickest rises from obscurity to superstardom in the UFC. Less than 5 years after becoming a member of the company, the 38-year-old has the probability to turn into the first UFC fighter to maintain gold in three separate divisions, but the assumption in his potential continues to be questioned.
While not many will argue against Alex Pereira’s putting prowess, his lack of grappling leaves lingering doubts about his potential. Despite being a standup-focused competitor, Pereira was assured that he might pose enough risk to Jon Jones ought to they ever combat. Rumors of the matchup generated a lot debate, and one man who sided with Jones, to Pereira’s annoyance, was fellow Brazilian Melquizael Costa.
Speaking to Connect Cast, the UFC featherweight announced Jones as his winner in the fantasy combat against Pereira.
“Jon Jones would smash [Alex Pereira],” Costa said. “He’d take him down to the ground, man. It’d be over. Everyone has a chance, sure, but I don’t think ‘Poatan’ would be the favorite. But he has a chance.”
The feedback acquired backlash from followers who disagreed with Costa’s perceived disrespectful dismissal of his fellow countryman.
Attempting to justify his assertion, Melk Costa shared a message.
“Never ask me a question thinking I will stay on top of the wall,” Costa said. “If this fight happens it will be two Goats fighting, the best striker vs. the best grappling. And yeah I think [Jon Jones] would win.”
Jon Jones arguably has the strongest case in the sports activities historical past to be called the best of all time. Choosing Jones to beat anybody seems like a secure guess, but Alex Pereira wasn’t thrilled with Costa’s allegiance.
Instead of ignoring Costa’s opinion, Pereira raised his considerations.
“[Melquizael Costa] bro you root for whoever you want and it’s all right!” Pereira responded. “profanityed up is saying something you don’t even know and as if I did something to you. When I was at the LFA and you were going to fight and the day before and you came and turned your phone on my face when I was at the hotel drinking coffee and I was chewing, you didn’t even ask if you could and I say in the moral you had to ask me if I could record a video, maybe you’d get mad I called your attention.”
“But I thought you weren’t mad because we were having dinner together in Mexico and I was giving you strength because you were crying because you lost the fight, and now when you win two fights you’re the almighty. Bro I can lose 8 matches in a row!”
