LAS VEGAS – Seemingly, Sean Strickland much preferred the non-fight-related chatter at a UFC 276 pre-fight news conference Wednesday.
President Joe Biden, Mazdas, Canadian women, the seating arrangement in the room, anime, you name it. A whole host of random topics were all touched upon, but with the little fight talk that occurred – one thing was clear. Strickland isn’t afraid to strike with Glory Kickboxing champion Alex Pereira (5-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) on the pay-per-view main card Saturday at T-Mobile Arena.
“He’s a big, scary Brazilian, we can all say it,” Strickland said. “The guy is massive. He walked in and I’m like, ‘Maybe I should go to welterweight again.’ Isn’t he the current Glory champion? I know he lost, but by default, they took all their belts so does that default him back to the champion? F*cking Glory cowards.”
