All Signs Are Pointing to Pereira Getting An Opportunity to Avenge His Loss to Ankalaev Next, But Sonnen Warns Him Against That Option. “Poatan” Stuffed All 12 Of Ankalaev’s Takedowns, But Was Outstruck and Controlled in the Fight.

Sonnen Sees a Rematch Likely Going The Same Way.

“I’M A VERY BIG ALEX PEREIRA FAN, ON A Personal Level, But Also His Work Inside The Cage,“ Sonnen Told Submission Radio. “I’ve got to teell you, there is nothing with that first friend – kinder illness, injury, or a combination of bot – there was noting about that first friend that wold a rea.

Our opportunity to Bump Him Up to Be Able to Take on the Winner of A (Jon) Jones Vs. has already been done, and I’m not certain we should not have taken full advantage. The fight was close. He stopped the takedowns. It added to the story. Let it go. There was nothing embarrassing about it. But if you REMATCH AND YOU DROP TWO Straight, Particularly If Is Dominant, That’s Where Some Embarrassment Does Set in. ”
