Video: Cain Velasquez teaches Alex Pereira wrestling ahead of UFC 335
Former UFC champ Cain Velasquez released footage of him working with Alex Pereira.
One thing about Alex Pereira is that he has an unquenchable thirst for fighting knowledge.
After losing his heavyweight debut to Ciryl Gane in June, former two-division champion Pereira (13-4 MMA, 10-3 UFC) will look to right the ship at UFC 335 from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Dec. 12 when he clashes with Sergei Pavlovich (20-3 MMA, 9-3 UFC) in a five-round co-main event.
"Poatan" is looking to level up his game going into the fight, and that includes a recent training encounter with two-time UFC heavyweight titleholder Cain Velasquez, who shared footage of their technique training.
Velasquez and Pereira recently put in some work at the UFC Performance Institute, and Velasquez shared a clip of him teaching the Brazilian how to break out of standing back control.
It's a wholesome clip between two of MMA's greats, and you can check it out below (via Instagram ):
