Alex Pereira Seeks Third Belt in Glory After Training With Machida, Teixeira
Glory two-division champ Alexsandro Pereira is not your average training partner.
Scheduled to face former Bellator MMA light heavyweight champion Ryan Bader in the first April 9 bracket of the grand prix, Lyoto Machida received two important reinforcements in the final weeks of his camp. Both Ultimate Fighting Championship veteran and next light heavyweight contender Glover Teixeira as well as Glory’s 185- and 205-pound champion ‘Poatan’ Pereira, and the latter spoke with Sherdog right after his arrival to Florida.
“It’s such an honor to be learning from these two MMA legends,” Pereira explained. “I came with Glover to help Lyoto, but I’m the one who is being helped here.”
