Aleks Pereira suspects that he broke his leg in the rematch against Magomed Ankalaev.
“I had a great strategy for the rematch with Ankalaev, which, as you have already seen, worked in the fight with Blachowicz. The calf strikes were effective. I landed several low kicks, but then Magomed changed his stance. I think he altered the distance.
Then I landed another strike on his front leg, but it turned out that I only caught him with my toes. I am almost sure that I have a fracture,” — cited Pereira’s words the MMAJunkie portal.
