Alex Pereira‘s Ferocious Training Sparks Fan Reactions Ahead of Ankalaev Rematch

UFC fans are reacting strongly ‍to recent training footage of ‌Alex Pereira, ⁣describing the former ​middleweight champion as looking “vicious” and “lethal” as he prepares for his rematch against Magomed Ankalaev‌ at UFC 322 on June 1st. The footage, showcasing Pereira’s striking power and ⁤speed, has quickly‌ circulated online, generating excitement and‌ anticipation for the upcoming bout.

pereira’s first encounter with Ankalaev in March 2023 ended in a controversial split draw, a result many believed favored Ankalaev. This rematch presents Pereira with an opportunity to definitively settle the score and⁢ perhaps pave the way for another title​ shot. For Ankalaev, a win over “Poatan” would solidify his position as a‌ top contender in the light heavyweight division. the stakes are⁤ high for both fighters as they aim to assert dominance in a competitive weight class.

Social media platforms lit‌ up with commentary following the ​release of the training clips.⁢ One fan commented, “Pereira looks vicious,” while ‍another⁣ stated, “alex‌ Pereira is looking lethal right now.”⁤ Others ⁤highlighted Pereira’s hand speed,with one ‌user writing,”This hand speed is ridiculous,” and another simply urging him to “Let those hands go.”

The intensity of Pereira’s readiness is underscored ⁣by accounts from ⁢fighters who have faced him in the past. A recent ⁣article detailed a UFC star’s experience taking a punch from Pereira, describing a sensation ​unlike any other. This reinforces the danger Ankalaev faces when stepping into the octagon⁢ with the Brazilian striker.

Pereira will be seeking a finish in⁣ the rematch, having‌ been unable to⁢ substantially⁣ hurt Ankalaev in their first fight.If he connects cleanly, the fight could be ‍over⁤ quickly. UFC 322 is set to take place in Miami, Florida, and promises to be a pivotal event for both ​Pereira⁤ and Ankalaev.

Ronda Rousey’s UFC Return Dismissed: Expert Says She Was “Spit Out

Chael Sonnen Dismisses Ronda Rousey‘s Potential UFC Return

Former UFC middleweight and light-heavyweight contender Chael Sonnen has‍ cautioned against expectations of a Ronda ⁢Rousey return to the Octagon, stating that athletes are often “forced ‌out” rather⁣ than choosing to retire. Sonnen’s comments come following recent⁢ social media activity from Rousey ⁤that has fueled speculation about a possible comeback.

Sonnen, who experienced a career trajectory marked by both success and eventual ‍knockout defeats,⁤ understands the ‌arduous reality of aging in a demanding sport. He explained in a recent youtube video that a desire to return doesn’t equate​ to a viable comeback, asserting, “There is just ⁣this idea that when somebody goes out there‌ and breaks a sweat or they used to do this sport and they dangle this idea of a return…But then an⁢ adult steps in the room and goes ‘hey, it’s not a⁢ return.'” He emphasized⁢ that for moast fighters, it ‍isn’t a matter of wanting to stop, but rather the sport‌ ultimately moving on without them. “You were forced out, it’s not a ​retirement when they throw your a- out of ⁣the cage.There’s ‍never a day ⁣when you wont to be done with this sport, you will wake up ⁣and find out one day that the sport is done with you.”

Sonnen did acknowledge exceptions to​ this rule, specifically citing Georges St-Pierre, ⁣Khabib Nurmagomedov, and Jon Jones. He noted that​ these fighters all left the sport with championship titles, were in demand, and voluntarily chose to step away. “They all had belts, they all left ‍on top and they were all wanted and welcomed to stay but they made their own decision that they were not going to.” Rousey, who hasn’t competed ​since‍ a⁣ December 2016 loss to Amanda Nunes, does not fit this profile,⁣ according to Sonnen’s assessment.

Chael Sonnen ​Proposes Landmark UFC Event⁤ at the White House

Former UFC contender Chael sonnen suggests a high-profile UFC event could‍ be held at the White House, though not featuring current stars conor McGregor or Jon Jones. Sonnen believes a matchup⁢ between Islam Makhachev adn Ilia Topuria-a ‌champion versus champion ⁢bout-would be a fitting main event for such a unique location.

The idea surfaced as discussions continue ​regarding ​the potential scale of Makhachev versus ‍Topuria, a fight widely anticipated by fans. Sonnen, speaking recently, posited the ‍White House as an unprecedented venue, potentially eclipsing‍ the hype surrounding McGregor’s return. He also floated the possibility of McGregor competing against a notable MMA⁣ athlete currently outside the ⁣UFC.

“You‍ keep telling‍ me what a huge fight Ilia Topuria​ vs​ Islam Makhachev is.​ Does Ilia vs ‌Islam, champ ​vs champ, trump Conor McGregor vs anybody?” Sonnen questioned, highlighting the potential draw of the championship clash.

sonnen specifically mentioned McGregor potentially facing a “legend who’s not in the UFC,” though he⁢ did not name a specific opponent. The American ‌believes⁤ McGregor could still secure a prominent spot on the card, even if not headlining the White House event.
