Colby Covington (37, U.S.), who is ranked ninth in the official UFC welterweight rankings, predicted that Pereira could win the showdown between John Jones and Alex Pereira. Familiar to Korean fans by facing "Stern Gun" Kim Dong-hyun, he noted the potential of UFC light-heavyweight champion Pereira and predicted that Pereira would win even if he fights UFC heavyweight John Jones.

Covington appeared on "Submission Radio" on Monday (Korea time) to express his opinion on the upcoming showdown between John Jones and Pereira. "Pereira will definitely catch John Jones. John Jones will aim for Pereira's legs. However, he will not be easily beaten. I am confident that I can knock out John Jones with my left hook and fatal kick."
He praised Pereira's performance in recent years. "I can't help but be impressed by what Pereira did. Despite her short preparation period, she showed up at the UFC Octagon and did a great job," he said. "I respect and like Pereira. I think we trained together maybe seven to eight years ago. He came with Glover Tesheira, and I was best friend to him."

"We were always fishing and barbecuing in the backyard, and Glover brought in Pereira. She asked me to teach her how to wrestle," he continued. "Pereira was a great Glory Kickboxer. She was like a future champion, and no one could beat her. At the time of kickboxing, I already knew she was going to make it to the MMA stage. I think she wanted to gain more experience in hitting before she became successful at MMA." She also added, "So I helped Pereira wrestle a little bit. Pereira is a great fighter, and she has had a great career. You can't underestimate what you achieved in such a short period of time." 먹튀검증

Ferreira won the UFC middleweight and light heavyweight titles. She stood tall as one of the strongest fighters while continuously defending the UFC light heavyweight title last year. She defeated Zamahal Hill in the UFC 300 in April last year and Iri Prohatska in the UFC 303 in June last year. In October last year, she competed in UFC 307 and defeated Khalil Rowntree. She appeared whenever the UFC called her urgently, and had a heated fight, drawing even more attention.

Meanwhile, UFC heavyweight champion John Jones drew attention by saying he wants to face Pereira. His preference for a match with UFC heavyweight interim champion Tom Aspinall over a match has sparked controversy. The possibility of John Jones and Pereira having a big match based on their contract weight has been raised.
