He then talks about why he asked to welcome Pereira to the light heavyweight division and his plan to test his striking with the Brazilian in the first round. Jan Blachowicz also talks about his wrestling advantage and what a win over Pereira does for him.
Stephen Thompson comes on to discuss his UFC 291 main card fight against Michel Pereira. Stephen talks about why the fight never happened in June in Vancouver as he expected. ‘Wonderboy’ then chats about why he wanted this matchup for quite some time and whether or not he thinks Pereira will try and wrestle him.

He then talks about the style matchup against the undefeated Brazilian and what he needs to do to hand Bonfim his first loss. Trevin closes things out by talking about what a win does for him.
