Pereira: Everyone knows how dangerous Blachowicz is

Former UFC Middleweight Champion Alex Pereira commented on the announcement of the fight with the former title holder in the light heavyweight division Jan Blachowicz. For the Brazilian, this fight will be the first in a new weight category.

Blachowicz is a formidable and experienced fighter. My coach Glover Teixeira fought with him, so I will actively work with him and learn from his experience. Everyone knows what a dangerous and versatile fighter Blachowicz is, but I think this is a good fight for me.

We have been negotiating this fight for a long time. I was waiting to be brought together. I'm happy with the fight, now it's time to focus on training, ”BJ Penn quotes Pereira.

Recall that Blachowicz and Pereira will meet on July 22 at UFC 291 in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA.
