Known consensusly for his enormous stopping power on the feet, incoming UFC 295 headliner, has claimed he won’t rule out the possibility of a submission threat against opponent, Jiri Prochazka tonight, as the pair vie for light heavyweight gold in Madison Square Garden.
Pereira, a former undisputed middleweight champion under the banner of the promotion, most recently co-headlined UFC 291 back in July, landing a split decision win over former champion, Jan Blachowicz in a title-eliminator clash in Salt Lake City.
And as for Czech Republic native, Prochazka, the former light heavyweight champion has been sidelined since he headlined a flagship event back in June in Singapore, landing a fifth round rear-naked choke win over Glover Teixeira.
