Pereira responded to Hill's threat: "He overestimated his strength"

Alex Pereira, the current UFC light heavyweight champion, responded to the words of Jamal Hill, who recently promised to finish Alex in a standing position.

“I think, looking at my history in kickboxing, it was quite arrogant of him to say that he would fight me stand-up and knock me out. Many have tried this, and I'm sure he'll try to fight me standing, but when he sees that it's not working, he'll try to move me. Jamal is a convenient opponent for me, and I think he overestimated his strength by making such a statement.”
