UFC: Alex Pereira Training With Dillon Danis
Pereira had been on a roll heading into his title bout with Adesanya. He had scored three consecutive wins over the Nigerian-born fighter in kickboxing and mixed martial arts competition, leading many to believe he had Adesanya’s number. However, Adesanya had other plans, and he scored a brutal second-round knockout to reclaim the middleweight belt.
After the fight, Pereira was undoubtedly looking for ways to improve his game and get back to the top. That’s when he apparently turned to Danis, who is known for his grappling skills and has trained with some of the top fighters in the world.
Danis posted a photo on Instagram showing him and Pereira after a training session, and fans immediately began to speculate about what the two fighters could be working on. Some wondered if Pereira was looking to improve his grappling game, some fans reacts ‘Odd Linkup’
Despite the odd pairing, it’s clear that Pereira is taking his training seriously and is looking for any edge he can get. He knows that he’ll need to be at his best if he wants to reclaim his middleweight title and avenge his loss to Adesanya.
It’s also worth noting that Danis is no slouch when it comes to fighting. He may not have the same level of experience as some of the top UFC fighters, but he has a strong grappling game and has shown flashes of brilliance in his fights. If he can help Pereira shore up his weaknesses and improve his overall game, it’s possible that the Brazilian fighter could come back stronger than ever.
Of course, it remains to be seen whether Pereira’s training with Danis will pay off in the long run. He’ll need to be able to put his newfound skills to the test in the octagon, and he’ll likely face tough competition from other top middleweights in the UFC.
But for now, fans are left to speculate about what kind of impact Danis could have on Pereira’s future fights. Some are optimistic about the pairing, while others are skeptical.
Only time will tell whether the odd linkup between these two fighters will bear fruit, but one thing is for sure: Pereira will be looking to make a statement in his next fight, and he’ll be doing everything in his power to reclaim his middleweight title.
