00:00so looking look into this weekend uh right now we've got a rematch uh with the main event uh

00:07with inkilev and and pereira you know pereira is a fighter that he's sort of an old school

00:13throwback right a lot of these fighters don't want to fight they don't want to fight like too

00:19often once they get the belt they want to hang on to the belt because they get more promo money and

00:23they don't they don't you know let's fight once a year if we can and try to milk this

00:27pereira he didn't like that like he the guy fought for that was his fourth fight in a year

00:33so in the first fight i know fighters always you know a lot of fighters will have an excuse after

00:39but i actually believe pereira when he goes you know i was basically at 40 percent in that fight

00:45because i really was nowhere near 100 this is his opportunity for redemption right now in which was

00:51a close fight but what surprised people was in kylev's uh the the his his striking in in the first

01:00fight uh tom right that surprised people everyone sort of built it you know grappler versus striker

01:04but pereira actually got messed up striking a bit what do you think about this fight and it's rare

01:10that you're going to see alex pereira at a plus 200 price yeah i i think there's some value on pereira

01:17in this fight i think that last fight is what you said i mean he was he was taking those title

01:22fights as the champion on three weeks notice you know a month notice they were kind of throwing

01:28those fights together and most champions aren't doing that but pereira did and you know it seems

01:34like it might have bit him he looked very sluggish he he might have been worried about the takedowns but

01:38you know he stuffed all all 12 of the takedowns so you know in this fight he probably comes into it

01:44knowing all right this guy he's going to try to take me down it's not going to be that easy for

01:48him i can maybe let it go a little bit he's had you know five six months to kind of settle himself

01:54so i think again i mean it's going to be a competitive fight i think the number on pereira

02:00it's it's it's it's intriguing i think uh you know that kind of price on a guy with that kind of

02:07power and skill set i haven't placed a bet on him yet but i probably will by the time we get to saturday

02:13you
