Pereira on Smith's criticism: 'That's what the veterans who have achieved nothing say'

Recall that earlier the American said that the Brazilian, who recently moved to the light heavyweight category, does not pose too serious a danger in the new division.

“Only fighters like Smith say that about me. Veterans who have achieved nothing. From guys who are doing well, I don’t hear anything like that. Only those who are behind me criticize. Or those who tried but failed.

Anthony is a guy who is disappointed in himself. He only fought once in a big fight that led the tournament. For this he should be grateful to John Jones. If not for Jones, he would never have had a fight at this level, ”Pereira said in a release on his YouTube channel.

Pereira is expected to fight Jiri Prochazka for the vacant light heavyweight title next.
