If Alex Pereira vs Dricus Du Plessis happens it will be one sided either way
I think Alex Pereira vs Dricus Du Plessis is going to be one-sided depending on 2 things…
Whether Dricus’ chin can hold up and take Pereira’s left hook
Whether Pereira can stop the takedowns of Dricus and not gas out
We’ve seen Pereira struggle with fighters like Jan Blachowicz when it comes to defending takedowns and he was controlled for a fairly long time in that fight. Also, we’ve seen Dricus hurt quite before but his style gets him hit a lot and you can’t keep getting hit by Pereira because eventually you’re going to get knocked out
I think Pereira should fight Magomed Ankalaev next but if it doesn’t happen and he goes down to fight Dricus, I think the fight will be one-sided either way.
