Former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold commented on Brazilian Alex Pereira’s victory in the title rematch against Russian Magomed Ankalaev.
Rockhold told TMZ Sports
I used to hate on Alex Pereira, but motherf***er's a gangster. It's all about confidence. It's all about balls. He has it. I'm not going to lie. I can't hate on the motherf***er anymore. He's one of the GOATs.No more hate. Alex, God bless.
The rematch between Pereira and Ankalaev took place on October 5 as the main event of UFC 320 in Las Vegas, USA. Alex won that fight by technical knockout in the first round and reclaimed the UFC light heavyweight Championship belt.
The 38-year-old Pereira has 13 wins and three losses. The 33-year-old Ankalaev holds a record of 20 wins, two losses, one draw, and one no-contest.
