Alex Pereira, the UFC middleweight champion, responded to his critics, who constantly focus on the weak fight of the Brazilian.
“People who talk about it are those who have never fought with me, who have not trained with me. All the guys who come to my gym and try to fight me are MMA fighters. After sparring, they say, "Dude, I didn't know you had such grappling." But I'm not trying to prove anything to anyone. I'm just trying to do my job, but keep an eye on my progress in the future. People say that I don't know how to wrestle, but no one could beat Adesanya on the ground. I beat him with my style, so what's the problem?"
