Former UFC light heavyweight champion Glover Teixeira continues to hype up his training partner Alex Pereira.
Paired up against middleweight king Israel Adesanya in November, ‘Poatan’ has already defeated ‘The Last Stylebender’ twice before in the kickboxing ring, which makes for an intriguing pairing in the Octagon.
In Teixeira’s opinion, Adesanya has little chance of defeating Poatan, unless it’s an off night for the Brazilian. However, Glover believes Israel’s style just does not match up well with Alex’s, which is why the former light heavyweight champion tells Ag Fight his friend will become the new middleweight titleholder in November.
