Alex Pereira is ready to put his money where his mouth is as he defends his wrestling skills amid criticism
Despite beating one of the most dominant titleholders after just eight MMA fights, Pereira has been criticised by some for being taken down and controlled by Adesanya who is not known for his grappling.
“I’m not taking anything away from Alex, but I don’t think he beats a single guy in the top five,” he said.The former UFC heavyweight contender turned comedian says welterweight fighter Khamzat Chimaev would do a number on Pereira if they ever fight. Schaub’s comments didn’t sit well with the Brazilian knockout artist who proposed they bet $100,000 on his potential fight with Chimaev.Former fighter Former fighter Schaub had a 10-5 record in the UFC before calling time on his career in 2015“Brendan Schaub, I think he was running his mouth,” Pereira said via a translator on The MMA Hour.
“So, here’s the deal. I’ll fight Chimaev in Rio [UFC 283] at 205lbs. I propose a bet to Schaub, he’s running his mouth. $50,000 if I beat Chimaev. Those $50,000 from both sides, we donate to kids in need.“Also, $50,000 more that I don’t get taken down in 30 seconds and we double those $50,000 to donate for the charity, too.
