du Plessis backs himself in opposition to Pereira
“If I’m speaking about simply the rise up exchanges, I’m not preventing a kickboxing battle,” du Plessis advised Submission Radio. “I’m preventing an MMA battle, and a kickboxing battle, you want to have the ability to land combos. You must land large punches the entire time. Get a man rocked, you get an eight-count – you have got all these variables. The place in MMA, I don’t care who you’re: If I catch you clear with these small gloves, you’re going to go down, and I’m going to catch you ultimately.
“Now, I stated it with Izzy. He stated I’m too gradual. I wouldn’t be capable of catch him. Effectively, yeah. Like, I made a put up yesterday saying possibly it’s not fairly, however rattling, it’s efficient as a result of I’ll catch you ultimately, after which it’s a complete completely different story as a result of I’m not participating in a kickboxing battle. I’m punching, and I’m kicking, however it’s not a kickboxing battle. It’s an MMA battle, and after I put these collectively, it’s a distinct battle.”
“I actually imagine that with a man like Alex Pereira, he has energy,” du Plessis stated. “I’ve plenty of energy, too. Sure, he has crisp putting. His putting is unbelievable. That’s why he has the kickboxing resume he has. However we noticed with the Khalil Rountree battle – we noticed plenty of issues. Khalil had success in these first two rounds. He actually did.”
