Pereira (11-2 MMA, 8-1 UFC) defends his gentle heavyweight title towards Khalil Rountree (13-5 MMA, 9-5 UFC) in Saturday’s most important occasion in Salt Lake Metropolis.
Strickland has spent the previous couple of weeks coaching with former foe Pereira, who knocked him out within the first spherical of their middleweight matchup at UFC 276.
“We’ve had lots of wars. The issue with Alex is that he hits actually f*cking exhausting, you guys – actually f*cking exhausting. However let me let you know why,” Strickland advised The Schmo. “If you get raised within the jungles of Brazil the place you don’t have working water and surviving off tapir and wildebeest as an toddler, and then you definately get labored in a tire store, that’s a tough man to combat. It’s exhausting, bro, and my daddy points don’t make up for that stage of hardness. So it was good work.”
Strickland thinks Rountree might be utterly outmatched wherever the combat goes.
“I simply can’t see Khalil pulling it off,” Strickland advised Helen Yee. “I believe I could have watched him combat Anthony Smith. I simply can’t see it taking place. I don’t assume he has the instruments within the toolbox to beat Alex. He’s not knocking him out. He’s not outstriking him. He’s not outwrestling him. I believe Alex goes to make simple work of this combat.”
