The coaches of Alex Pereira think he beat Magomed Ankalaev at the UFC 313

The coaches of Alex Pereira disagree with the decision of the UFC 313.

Pereira (12-3 MMA, 9-2 UFC) lost its light heavyweight title against Magomed Ankalaev (21-1-1 MMA, 12-1-1 UFC) by unanimous decision in the main UFC 313 event on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Glover Teixeira and Plinio Cruz both thought that their fighter should both have gotten their hands after having managed to fill all the attempts to withdraw from Ankalaev and keep the fight on the feet.

“We had this defeat, but in my opinion, he won,” said Teixeira sur Pereira YouTube channel (H / t MMA Fighting). “He lost on points, so now we go back to the drawing board and adjust a few things, we train hard and come back and get this revenge and make history. “POATAN” has already made history before, and it will again make history. He is a great warrior and I am very proud of him.

Things tend to an immediate revenge match between Pereira and Ankalaev, and Cruz promises a better version of his fighter.

“Life is made up of ups and downs, and these ups and downs are what makes us who are on this trip to our goal,” said Cruz. “We will come back stronger, will group together as a team. The atmosphere was great this week. We have no excuse. “Poatan” was good, and I think he won the fight. It is a trip, not a fall, and it will only make it stronger, our team stronger. Humans are evolving more during adversity. The rivalries make us grow.

“He went (Ankalaev) this time, so we will train more, study more, we will improve to deliver a better version of” poatan “- more mean. What this guy has done was aggravating the situation for him because he will now fight “Poatan 2.0”. This happened to “Poatan” before. It is not the first time, and a real champion is the one that stumbles but continues to move forward and reconquer it. “Poatan” will reconquer the belt in the revenge match. (It will be) a more average version, and our team will be at a higher level than it is already. »»
