Mixed martial arts sensation Alex Pereira has revealed that he was far from his optimal condition during his initial encounter with Magomed Ankalaev, suggesting he utilized less than half of his true fighting potential.
“Accepting defeat is not easy, but to be honest, if you put everything together—what I’ve been through and what has happened to me, which I won`t detail now—I am pleased that I was able to perform in the fight as I did.”
The Brazilian fighter elaborated on his performance, stating, “That evening, I performed at only 40% of my capacity. It’s evident that this upcoming time, that figure will be substantially higher. Even if I can reach just 50%, that mere 10% increase will create such a monumental difference that it will leave no room for doubt.”
