Former Bellator light heavyweight champion Vadim Nemkov did not speak too flatteringly about the new UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira, saying that the Brazilian is not a champion-level fighter.
“I think that Alex Pereira is not at the championship level, because the UFC light heavyweight champion, at a minimum, should be able to fight and defend himself, but he can barely stand on his feet. Prochazka translated it calmly, without particularly straining. Yes, he got up, but Jiri is not a high-level wrestler either.”
