Alex Pereira On The Fight
Danis is training with Pereira, which means the Brazilian fighter has a good idea of his skill. Speaking on the MMA Hour, he gave his thoughts on the fight.
“Yeah, he was just in here today in my gym,” Pereira stated through an interpreter when asked about training with Dillon Danis before his boxing match with Logan Paul. “It was great training; he said he enjoyed rounds with a specific type of sparring; it was a very nice train… No, it was the second time [we trained]; the first time we trained was a few months ago. But Alex was recovering from some fights, still slightly injured, so they just did a few positions on the ground. Some boxing.”
He continued, “Today, it was boxing… Well, Alex is going to travel now for a few days. Maybe [we’ll train] one more time before the fight because he enjoyed the training. He could move a lot, and Dillon enjoyed it, too. Dillon was able to pick up a lot of stuff today, so it was very good.”
