“If I $50,000…” – Alex Pereira makes a big bet on himself with Brendan Schaub, who says he has no chance against Khamzat Chimaev

Alex Pereira, the name on everyone’s lips – not only did Israel emphatically beat Adesanya, but he had to dig deep to get the win.

Now that he’s the champion, a huge window of opportunity opens up for the 35-year-old who made his debut in the promotion just a year ago. There were many who opposed the two-part Glory kickboxing champion. Sean Strickland. But he certainly managed to silence them all.

Anyone else who doubts him and still doubts to some extent, Brendan ShaubWho says youtube video Pereira “cannot beat a single middleweight man in the top 5” and “Khamzat [Chimaev] she’s fucking him”. He responded to his scathing summary of the talents of comedians who turned into champions for a reason and aptly, fighter.

Ariel told Helwani:Not a problem for me. Brendan Schaub, I think he was moving his mouth. Brendan said Chimaev was going to run over me and said a lot of bullshit like blah, blah, blah. He said Chimaev could beat me in 30 seconds.Instead he offered a new bet – “I will fight Chimaev in Rio in 205 and offer Schaub a bet. He’s mouth-watering – $50,000 if I beat Chimaev… Also, another $50,000 if I’m not knocked down in 30 seconds, and we’re doubling that $50,000 to donate to charity.

Brendan Schaub’s words can seem extremely harsh. Alex Pereira champion and Schaub no longer fight in the octagon. However, he has revealed on Twitter that he does not want to be disrespectful. In his tweet, “I’m in. Let’s do 100k. Zero disrespect to the championship. Incredible fighter. I like @KChimaev’s match.

However, could Schaub have any meaning here? In their matchups, apart from the end of the first lap where Adesanya severely shook Pereira, the key to success came from the Brazilian’s on-court inexperience. Israel Adesanya isn’t in the grips – he’s only had five years in the UFC and has had time to hone his game on the field.
