Undefeated boxing standout Ryan Garcia had nothing, but praise for reigning UFC middleweight champion Alex Pereira.
Pereira shocked the world at UFC 281 in November, scoring a fifth-round knockout of Israel Adesanya to capture the 185-pound crown in just his fourth fight with the promotion. Holding three wins over ‘The Last Stylebender’ going back to their GLORY Kickboxing days, Adesanya will get one more opportunity to earn an ever-elusive win over the heavy-hitting Brazilian world champion at UFC 287 on April 8.
Appearing on Logan Paul’s IMPAULSIVE podcast, Ryan Garcia heaped praise on Alex Pereira and shared his thoughts on the UFC champion’s skills, even noting some similarities between the two.
