Jorge “Joinha” Guimaraes, the manager of Alex Pereira, recently revealed to Sherdog.com that Dutchman Yousri Belgaroui would come to the United States to help “Poatan” in his final month of camp for his title fight against Israel Adesanya at UFC 281.

Pereira posted a video over the weekend showcasing some of his sparring with Belgaroui, who is expected to remain in the country until Nov. 5. UFC 281 takes place on Nov. 12 at Madison Square Garden in New York. Adesanya vs. Pereira will serve as the evening’s headliner.
