2 years agoAlex Pereira proved to any remaining doubters at UFC 276 on Saturday that he is the absolute real deal with a deadly sniper's striking ability by earning a first-round knockout over Sean Strickland. In 2:36 of action, Pereira tallied 25 significant strikes, including a huge left hook that sent Strickland falling to the mat. During his fall, Strickland was struck with a devastating right hand that knocked him out cold. Many are clamoring for a Pereira/Israel Adesanya title fight. Pereira does hold two victories over Adesanya in the world of kickboxing, and there is something to be said for that mental edge.--Matt Bricker - RotoBaller
