Alex Pereira Suspects Serious Leg Injury Following Rematch with Magomed Ankalaev

MMA News

Mixed martial arts sensation Alex Pereira has expressed significant concern that he may have sustained a fractured leg during his recent high-stakes rematch against Magomed Ankalaev.

Pereira elaborated on the sequence of events, explaining that his strategy for the fight involved a heavy reliance on effective calf strikes—a tactic he had previously utilized with success in his bout against Blachowicz. He initiated the fight by landing several low kicks; however, Ankalaev reportedly made swift adjustments, altering his stance and the distance between the fighters.

The suspected injury occurred when Pereira attempted another strike aimed at Ankalaev`s lead leg. He recounted that he misjudged the contact point, connecting only with his toes rather than the intended target. “I am almost sure that I have a fracture,” Pereira stated, conveying his strong conviction regarding the severity of the injury sustained in the challenging encounter.
