Alex Pereira stated that he entered the first fight with Magomed Ankalaev far from optimal condition, showing less than half of his true potential.
“Accepting defeat is not easy, but to be honest, if you put everything together, what I’ve been through, and what has happened to me, but about which I will not talk now—I am glad that I was able to perform in the fight as I did.
That evening I performed at 40%, and it’s obvious that this time the figure will be significantly higher. Even if I perform at least at 50%, this 10% will make such a colossal difference that no one will have any doubts,” said the Brazilian.
