This morning was a martial arts festival in Medison Square. UFC event Jiri Prochazka vs Alex Pereira. Of course, the title match of the light heavyweight division.
I don't need to introduce these experienced warriors, so let's take a look at what happened in the cage.
Round 1 : In the first moments of the match, Jiri received more than 4 low kicks from Alex, one of which knocked him down.
Jiří counters with blows to the body.
Alex manages to be strangled at the edge of the cage, but he doesn't have a good catch and Jiří literally threw Alex to the ground. Beautiful takedown.
Jiri controls the ground, tries to do a hard Ground and Pound.
Pereira stands at the end of the round and it's the end of the round. A draw for me.
Round 2: We have an attitude fight in the middle of the cage.
Jiri pushes Alex and hits Alex's face, Alex strikes back and the fans go into a frenzy. Jiri hits again, and tries to finish Alex off. Alex strikes back and hits the head of Jiří with his right hand, who goes to his knees shaken.
Alex immediately knocks Jiří with hard elbows before the referee separates them.
It's over, ladies and gentlemen. The new champion is Alex Pereira.
Jiří showed a beautiful performance as a former champion and I believe that the rematch will not be long in coming. The better one won, although I expect controversy through the referee's intervention
