Cormier joked to Pereira that he will now have to watch out for retaliation
Cormier stated that Pereira will have to watch out for retaliation.
Cormier said: ‘I’m an old guy now. I find ways to win. One eye poke, kick balls. I’m going to get your ass now. You better look [with eyes in the back of your head].’
It has been a busy time for Pereira, who shared a video of himself signing a fight contract.
After knocking out Jamahal Hill in the first round at UFC 300, Pereira has been linked with a fight against UFC interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall.
Aspinall has previously claimed that he would be open to fighting Hill.
After signing the contract, Pereira was given a pair of ‘challenger’ shorts rather than champion ones – hinting that he will be facing a champion in Aspinall.
