Pereira recently entered The Rage to answer a few questions of interest:
How do you feel about this title shot and not getting a rematch against?
RP: “I’m very thankful for the opportunity to fight for the title. I have been working hard to receive my title shot and, แน่นอน, I was hoping to have a rematch with the champ, Damir Ismagulov. I was surprised when they told me Ismagulov left the belt vacant to sign with the UFC. I’m happy for him. He is a great fighter and I know he can become the UFC champion, too”.
How do you feel about fighting in M-1 Global?
RP: “I enjoy fighting in M-1 Global and I’d like to stay here for a long time. They’ve treated me really good. ตอนนี้, I’m on a four-fight winning streak, but I was not that successful when I first joined the promotion. After two losses in a row I thought they were going to send me home, but they gave me another chance and I seized it.
How do you effectively drop nearly 50 pounds from your walk-around weight to fight as a lightweight?
RP: “I have no special secret. ฉันเพียงแค่ฝึกซ้อมอย่างหนัก, three times a day, Sunday to Sunday. Usually, I weigh around 92 กก. (203 ปอนด์), but I never miss weight and always make 70 กก. (154 ปอนด์) for the weigh-ins. Some think this is a huge advantage for me in the fight but, เชื่อฉัน, I suffer much more than anybody to make weight.”
What do you know about your next opponent, โรมันโบกาตอฟ?
“Roman Bogatov is a tough opponent. Maybe he has better wrestling and takedowns, but I’m a much better grappler. I’m self-confident and know that I can tap him out. If he takes me down, that’s better for me. I had a great camp and I’m ready for five rounds, but one of us will fall before round three.”
