Scouting Report: Alex Pereira

A lot of Pereira's game is centered around the left hook, very possibly the best such blow in MMA history. It has everything you would ever want from the shot; blinding speed, technique, accuracy, and one-punch knockout power, and is one he has caught opponents coming forward with again and again in MMA, knocking outand Strickland with it, among others.

Pereira is definitely vulnerable in the clinch, although less so than other world-class strikers. He has at least average physical strength for the UFC middleweight division and does well with the fundamentals, though he is often a little slow in applying them, especially if an opponent chain-wrestles.

Pereira's grappling is largely a mystery and likely a work in progress to boot. He did score a nice takedown against Adesanya on a shot, though subsequent attempts were stuffed. In the clinch, he was outgrappled by Adesanya. Limited offense aside, Pereira has some solid defensive ones, doing well with the basics, whether it's his takedown defense or an ability to get up.
