Aljamain Sterling thinks Alex Pereira’, s effective UFC plan took a toll on him.
Pereira ( 12-3 MMA, 9-2 UFC) lost his light heavyweight title to Magomed Ankalaev ( 21-1-1 MMA, 12-1-1 UFC) by unanimous decision in Saturday ’, s UFC 313 headliner at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Pereira holds the record for least period between three UFC name mechanisms at 175 time. Ⱨe was one of sȩven soldiers to record three name threats įn a calendar yeαr in 2024. A former hero himself, Sterling said Pereira’, s routine was too hard on his system.
“, Pereira battles way very often, ”, Sterling said on his YouTube channel. “, Three name threats in seven months. That is insanity to do that, and it ’, s not like his battles were pitter-patter conflicts. You may say that Jamahal Hill one was no harm. Sure, cool. I understand that. The Jiri one, he took some destruction in that. Therefore the Khalil Rountree battle was a huge fight where he took some excellent shots.
“, You go from that, add on to the fact that he bounces back from these battles and he goes straight back into the gym almost one, maybe two weeks later. You compound that with the amount of times that he’, s sparring. When does Pereira offer himself, his figure, and his mind, and his neck a chance to take a break and just return? I don’, t consider he gives himself sufficient time in between conflicts to give the best version of himself every single time. ”,
Pereira’, s next battle now appears to be lined up with the advertising in favor of an immediate rematch with Ankalaev at a time to be determined.
