Alex Pereira’s Kickboxing Nemesis Who Beat Poatan Blames UFC Fighters for Not Being Confident: ‘They Think He’s Unbeatable’
Vakhitov stated that such a mentality will only result in the fighters taking a step back mentally even before the fight. The Russian fighter then boasted about his victory over Poatan and claimed that he knew exactly how to defeat Alex Pereira.
Vakhitov even went on to say that it is his dream to be able to fight in the Dana White-led promotion. The Russian also promised to beat Pereira if they meet for a trilogy fight in the future. Meanwhile, Alex Pereira has been offered a golden opportunity to fight the UFC interim heavyweight champion.
Tom Aspinall expresses desire to fight Alex Pereira
Tom Aspinall has been waiting in the wings for a fight with Jon Jones. However, with Jones confirming his fight with Stipe Miocic, Aspinall has no opponents after his matchup with Curtis Blaydes. Thus, to make things interesting, the UFC interim heavyweight champion has invited Alex Pereira to come to his division and fight him.
This would be a win-win situation for Pereira who is creating havoc in the light heavyweight division at the moment. Poatan himself has expressed his desire to make a move to the heavyweight division. Although Dana White was initially not interested, it will be interesting to see if he will change his mind in the future or not.
