Language barrier I think is one of the reasons why some good fighters does not have title fights for long period. Like you have mentioned Makhachev. He is like a robot that steps inside octagon, wins opponent and goes home. And on post and pre fight interviews we get "I wanna thank my team, my coach, Khabib" and that is it. Boring. That does not really trigger to buy ticket for his next fight.

Pereira should take lessons from Costa Cheesy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r19z60UfYv4. But jokes aside, A+ Pereira for starting and trying to learn English.

Khabib Nurmagomedov is right about getting your English right and yeah Islam Makhachev may have a difficult time speaking straight Alex Pereira surely has a long way to learning his English, but surely many fans want their champion to speak fluent English even though Manny Pacquaio isn't really that Fluent at least he is trying his best in making efforts in learning,

Well, Alex Pereira should get Paulo Costa's way of speaking to his fans and to his bashers,

Let boxers fight in octagon with MMA or mixed rules, and we see who wins then.

We all know the outcome of this if Boxers would go straight to the octagon MMA will surely win not until boxers will have the training to counter those wrestling, and kicks that they don't have with boxing, if you see what One Championship have done with their 10th years anniversary the ONE X they throw down a mixed rules records were fighters will have Four three-minute rounds alternating between Muay Thai and MMA rules, and that fight was between Demetrious Johnson against Rodtang Jitmuangnon pretty much Mighty Mouse survive the Muay Thai round match and when the MMA rules come up he defeated the nasty Rodtang Jitmuangnon, with a Technical Submission rear-naked choke, this will be the fate of boxers that will fight inside the octagon without proper MMA knowledge and training,
