And if you go sparring rabbits, and you know you’re going to fall…
I don’t understand the fascination with getting folded by UFC champs, like the cocky fan who tried to absorb a liver shot from featherweight titleholder Ilia Topuria. At least the Podpah host had enough sense to wear protection.
Didn’t take away the pain, but at least it kept him from getting Houdini’d.
The 37 year-old Pereira is making the media rounds to close out his busy 2024 fight campaign which resulted in three pay-per-view (PPV) main events, as well as three fight-ending knockouts (like this one).
That’s in addition to a pair of $50,000 performance bonuses.
Not too shabby.
“Poatan” (12-2) is expected to make his Octagon return at some point in early 2025, presumably against light heavyweight “voodoo killer” Magomed Ankalaev. No word yet on when or where that title fight will take place, but early reports suggest March.
Whether or not Pereira returns as the white rabbit remains to be seen.
