Alex Pereira praises Polyana

During a conference before UFC 300, reporters questioned him about Polyana, and he only had exemplary things to say. He said, “Polyana is a very simple person. She is conquering her own space. I see a lot of potential in her. Whoever is in the UFC, their dream is to become a champion. And she said that’s my dream. I said me and my team could help her achieve her goal. She is very charismatic. I am not as charismatic.”

Pereira pointed out one of her qualities, which is her simplicity. He explained, “I think the fact that her simplicity plays a big part in it.” Viana has grappled with the UFC champion before, and the practice video was given under the video of Pereira’s conversation in the Instagram post.
