Alex Pereira tends to handle his business inside the cage, rather than settling the score with trash talk, but it was nearly impossible for the UFC light heavyweight champion to ignore some recent comments made about him.
Ever since he knocked out Jamahal Hill in just over three minutes in the UFC 300 main event, Pereira has heard chirping from his past opponent and that hasn’t slowed down much lately. Just seconds after Pereira demolished Khalil Rountree Jr. at UFC 307, Hill reacted by yawning at the performance and later added that he was “not impressed” by the Brazilian’s latest win.
From the sound of things, Pereira is getting bored with the constant verbal jabs coming from Hill, who hasn’t fought since he got finished back in April.
“I’m going to be real honest with you, if that performance with Khalil was shit, where does Jamahal rank — the performance I had against him?” Pereira told Uncrowned. “If that fight was crap, so imagine the fight [against Jamahal].
“How can he say that? I’m going to be honest, I’m not going to further talk about Jamahal. I’m on a different level.”
