“There’s no one more impactful in terms of fighters, when it comes to 2024, than Alex Pereira. Because he not only stood out – remember him dancing in the locker room before going and kicking Jiri [Prochazka]? Doing that hand thing to Jamahal Hill when he knocked him out? I don’t even know what that is, but it became one of the most global things of all time,” DC told MMA Junkie.
