Unfortunately, the game did not go exactly how the Brazilian had enjoyed it, with the head coach of the American, Eric Nicksick, claiming that the former glorial champion was stunned by what happened in the cage.
In an interview about the Ariel Helwani show, the MMA Aficionado explained: “He is [Pereira] Cool man, like, he is just intimidating.
“He was cool, as if he leaned forward a few times, and he looks at me, what's going on with Sean? He is cool, a lot of great insight. I like to have him there.
“Many people thought he was flying all the way to Sean's corner, but that was not the case. He was already there. That's why we wanted him in the corner; He was already there. He was already a source for us. '
