Pereira: "Training with Steven Seagal opened my mind."

UFC bantamweight champion Alex Pereira talked about the experience of training together with famous actor Steven Seagal.

"Training with Steven Seagal was great. He is a true martial arts master. Segal showed some very effective techniques that I was already using in my game and applied in training. It was the same when I trained with Silva. Anderson showed me some techniques that I already knew but thought were crazy, but he said: "No, you can actually use this in a fight."

Steven opened my mind a little bit. It was cool, it was nice to share ideas with him, so I'm glad I was able to spend time with him," Pereira said in an interview with Shak MMA.

As a reminder, Pereira will fight Jamal Hill on April 13 in the main event of UFC 300 in Las Vegas, USA.
