This new footage could have that beat.
“You guys don’t know this but however I’ll let you know: I simply came upon once I went up within the Octagon as a result of I noticed [Pereira] messing round along with his foot — he broke his toe two weeks in the past,” UFC CEO Dana White mentioned throughout the UFC 300 post-fight press convention (watch it right here). “He fought tonight with a damaged toe. I assumed he broke his toe within the struggle. His staff was like, ‘No, he broke his toe two weeks in the past.’ He was like, ‘I ain’t dropping this chance for a f***ing pinky toe.’”
His staff tried to smash it again into place — to no avail.
Pereira, 36, hoped to resurface at UFC 301 subsequent month in Brazil however will doubtless stay sidelined till the promotion can scrounge up one other contender (like this brute) later this 12 months. Hopefully when “Poatan” does return, he can achieve this with all his digits intact.
