Alex Pereira has unveiled large comeback plans after losing his title to Magomed Ankalaev on UFC 313.
The pair of light heavyweight titans produced a fascinating meeting that could have go in all directions.
During his training camp, 'Patan' worked extensively on his Takedown defense, and it turned out during the fight, as well as when Pereira dismissed the single leg of Daniel Cormier earlier in the week.
However, it was not only the wrestling of his rival that he had to worry about, but also his sublime striking.

Alex Pereira wants to make his comeback as soon as possible
The collision between Alex Pereira and Magomed Ankalaev met all expectations, with the couple producing a fascinating competition.
The Brazilian started well before the Dagestani bounced back in a large way in the second segment and the former Glory Kickboxing champion rocked to his core.
The third round was close by, before Ankalaev the now former champion closed with his superior struggle in the fourth.
Knowing that he needed a large finish, Pereira landed a series of powerful stairs, but the legend could not close the show.
In the end it was the challenger who appeared as a victor and won on two cards and 49-46 on the other side via 48-47.
While he is not, the valued striker is certainly not out, with the 37-year-old fond of fermentation that he will soon be back.
In his interview after the fight, Pereira said to Joe Rogan: “I keep training, I feel good, I don't think I'm not injured in any way, I'm going to take a few days off and train again. This is my life.”
