Alex Pereira gives a nonchalant reply to how he felt after beating Jan Blachowicz

Alex Pereira put on a show at the UFC 291 co-main event in his light-heavyweight debut against Jan Blachowicz. The Polish fighter is one of the best fighters in the division and the Brazilian was able to secure a split-decision victory. Following his win, 'Poatan' was asked about what was going through his mind when Bruce Buffer read out the scores, and he had this to say:

"Glover (Teixeira) told me afterwards, I don't speak English. I just can't pay attention to it. When they raised my hand, I was like 'yeah, I won'."

Take a look at the tweet:

The Brazilian will now look to conquer the light-heavyweight division following a short stint at middleweight. Alex Pereira feels more comfortable at light-heavy weight since he does not have to drastically cut his weight to make the weight limit like he did when he fought at 185 lbs. With the extra pounds and his power and speed, he will certainly be a force to be reckoned with.

The light-heavyweight title is vacant now since Jamahal Hill vacated it due to an injury. With his win over Jan Blachowicz, Alex Pereira has put himself in a great position to fight for the title next.
