Brendan Schaub: Alex Pereira Couldn’t Beat ‘Anyone In Top 5’..
Welcome back to Fightopia. With his massive win over Israel Adesanya at UFC 281 this past weekend (Sat., Nov. 12, 2022) in New York City, Alex Pereira rocketed up the Middleweight rankings into the top slot as 185-pound champion. He also made his debut in UFC’s official pound-for-pound rankings. For slaying “The Last Stylebender,” Pereira appeared in the No. 8 slot, sandwiched between Charles Oliveira and Aljamain Sterling. There’s a lot of people who will probably question that position, given “Poatan” is just 7-1 in MMA (4-0 UFC). Already, there’s been significant chatter amongst other UFC fighters that Pereira will fall to the first half-competent wrestler he faces. Former UFC Heavyweight, Brendan Schaub, certainly thinks the Brazilian is easy pickings for anyone with a ground game.
Down 3-1 on the judges’ scorecards, Pereira (7-1 MMA, 4-0 UFC) rallied to finish Adesanya (23-2 MMA, 12-2 UFC) by TKO in the fifth round to capture the middleweight title this past Saturday at Madison Square Garden. Pereira rocked Adesanya with a right hand and had him badly hurt with just minutes remaining. Although Adesanya was still standing, Goddard didn’t like his body language and proceeded to stop the fight. Adesanya disagrees with the stoppage, but Zahabi thinks he would have only taken more damage.
