“I am always learning and how do you learn? well said, are details. I carefully handled many details that I needed to adjust. I worked hard as I always do. There's always a mental preparation for every fight, because that's what it's all about. war. it has to be strong, sharp and mentally armored”.
“Don’t focus on the past and don’t focus on the future. There's no yesterday, no tomorrow. It's the now, so focus on the present. I'll give him a present. My absolute best will be shown in this fight”, declared the former UFC champion.
Speak, Alex Pereira!
"My message to Adesanya is: for him to be well prepared, because I will be. As soon as Adesanya entered the UFC, I kept an eye on it, because I already knew it. was interested in fighting MMA. That video they posted, of interviews that Adesanya did, motivated me a lot. I felt challenged and when I am challenged, nobody holds me back", he declared.
"I wanted new challenges and that was the UFC. I wanted to be inside the organization, I got it and after I joined, I said, 'Now is the time! from here to the belt'. I have to be prepared for everything. If Adesanya comes with new things, different techniques, then I'm not in the comfort zone. It makes a big advantage for me," he declared,
I knew I would open the way for him by hand. At a certain point, I saw his characteristics and I said: ‘Alex, are you here? ‘Indian’ And he didn't even know what an Indian was. He returned home, asked his parents and found out that his grandparents were Indians. And he liked the idea. Within the indigenous culture, we have dances by Tupinamba warriors, who prepare you for a war. And we began to idealize the ‘strong hand’.
