Alright, let’s talk about this fight, you know, the one with Pereira and that Strickland fella. I watched it, and let me tell ya, it was somethin’ else.
Pereira, that strong fella, he’s like a bull in a china shop, all power and no messing around. I heard he used to be a kickboxer, and you can tell. He throws punches and kicks like he means it, makes you wince just watchin’ it. They say he’s got 33 wins and only 7 losses in that kickin’ business. That’s a lot of wins, ain’t it? He even won some fancy titles, middleweight and light heavyweight, whatever that means. Sounds important though. And get this, he even went on to beat that Adesanya guy, the one everyone talks about. First time he defended his title, they say. Big deal, I guess.
- Pereira hits hard.
- He’s got lots of kickboxing wins.
- He beat Adesanya.
Then there’s Strickland. He’s a different kinda fighter. Not as flashy, you know? More like a stubborn mule, just keeps comin’ at ya. He ain’t afraid to get in there and scrap, that’s for sure. I saw him fight this Costa fella, and he won that one, by decision they said. That means he didn’t knock him out, but he did enough to win. Tough as nails, that Strickland.
So, when these two fellas fought, it was somethin’ to see. Pereira, he was all about those big shots, tryin’ to knock Strickland’s head off. And Strickland, he was just grittin’ his teeth and keepin’ on. Dodging and weaving, throwin’ punches when he could. It was a real back-and-forth fight, you know? One minute Pereira was lookin’ strong, the next Strickland was hangin’ in there.
I even heard that Pereira was in Strickland’s corner once, cheering him on during another fight. That’s somethin’, ain’t it? These fighters, they beat each other up, but then they’re all chummy sometimes. Guess that’s just how it is.
There was this one match, I think it was UFC 276, I saw some highlights. They were both goin’ at it, hammer and tongs. Pereira throwin’ those kicks, Strickland tryin’ to get inside. It was on a website, somethin’ called Tapology, I think. My grandson showed it to me. They got all sorts of fight videos and news there. You can even see what them fighters are sayin’ on Twitter, whatever that is.
Now, I ain’t no expert, you know? I just watch these fights for the excitement. But even I could tell these two were somethin’ special. Pereira with his power, Strickland with his grit. It’s like watchin’ a storm, all that energy and fury. And in the end, I guess it comes down to who wants it more, who can push through the pain and keep fightin’. That’s what makes it interestin’, seein’ who’s got the bigger heart.
So, yeah, that Pereira versus Strickland fight? It was a good one. A real barnburner, as they say. If you like watchin’ tough fellas go at it, then you should definitely check it out. Just be prepared, it ain’t for the faint of heart. These boys, they hit hard.
And that’s all I gotta say about that. It was a fight, a good one, and those two fellas, they gave it their all. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go make some supper. All this talkin’ about fightin’ makes a body hungry.
