Pereira and Strickland’s intense sparring [VIDEO]

Alex Pereira and Sean Strickland are training together ahead of the UFC 307 gala, with the Brazilian and American pairing up in all planes building form.

This coming Saturday, October 5, Alex Pereira will face a defense of his light heavyweight title. At the UFC 307 event in Salt Lake City, the Brazilian kickboxer will face American striker Khalil Rountree.

Alex Pereira decided to pull Sean Strickland for the final stage of preparation before defending his UFC belt. The Brazilian posted footage of sparring with Sean on his channel on the youtube platform. The video includes moments where Pereira and Strickland can be seen training in both wrestling, ground and stand-up.

Particularly noteworthy was the devastating wrestling clinch with which they tormented each other against the wall imitating the octagon net. Toward the end of the long vlog, there were also snapshots of standup exchanges in which both fighters had good moments. Poatan‘s joint standup sparring with Tarzan got everyone else off the mat to watch the actions of two top UFC fighters.
