UFC commentator Daniel Cormier has posted a video of him taking low kicks from UFC contender Alex Pereira.
This Saturday night, Alex Pereira will lock horns with Jiri Prochazka as they battle it out over the UFC light heavyweight championship. The bout will serve as the main event of UFC 295, with Pereira having the chance to become the latest two-weight world champion.
In the eyes of many, ‘Poatan’ has a great chance of claiming the belt. He’s big, he’s strong, and his striking is as dynamic as it gets at this level.
It’s not just his hands, either, as his kicks have often been seen as a huge part of his game. In a recent video with Daniel Cormier, the Brazilian showed ‘DC’ the kind of intensity that Prochazka can expect this weekend.
I’ve seen it time and time again, I had to know what it felt like so I asked Poaton to give me a couple of the little leg kicks. They are as painful as they look. Unbelievable my check in with @alexpoatanpereira will be live today 6 PM Eastern/3 PM Pacific pic.twitter.com/AlaUnUTXld
