Alex Pereira responded to coach Magomed Ankalaev regarding the claim that he lacks knockout power.
“I lack knockout power? That’s just talk, Ankalaev’s coach saw that in our fight, but he also saw what happened in other fights. Even the referee [Marc Goddard] said he hadn’t seen anything like it. It’s for the better, let him think that, a surprise awaits him,” said Pereira at the press conference.
