Former UFC featherweight champion Aleksander Volkanovski shared his prediction for the upcoming rematch between current featherweight titleholder Alec Pereira and former belt holder Jiri Prochazka.
"I'm betting on Alex Pereira winning by knockout. Again, you can't say for sure here because they're both very dangerous, they both have very unusual fighting techniques, they both take a lot of risks, so anything can happen, but you see a lot of footage of Alex Pereira sparring all over the world. Boxers, kickboxers, MMA fighters, wherever he goes, so even on tours he spars.
I think he'll be fine, he's a very focused fighter. The stress level won't tire him out, he won't get tired, so I'm leaning towards Alex Pereira. I think he'll be a safer bet for an early win this time around," Middle Easy quotes Wolkanowski as saying.
Recall, the fight Pereira - Prochazka 2 will take place on June 29 in the main event of UFC 303 in Las Vegas, USA.
