That might be a bit of a trap for Pereira. Everyone assumes he's superior to Jiri in a stand up, but if most of his training camp is focused on takedown defence and improving his ground game, he might neglect the striking part and could get out-striked by Jiri. And it's not like Prochazka is lacking in the striking department, if Pereira in the top form is better than him, it's only by a small margin.
But yeah, anything is possible in this fight. Who knows, maybe Alex will be the one looking for a takedown, as he did in the first fight against Adesanya.

I really doubt that they will neglect the Striking over wrestling because Alex Pereira has an advantage on the stand-up and his knockout power is surreal for me they will not neglect the striking or stand-up but they will surely focus on Pereira's takedown defense but I doubt Pereira will be focusing on learning the wrestling,

^ Knee injury. Have you seen how much bigger he looks in between camps? There were words swirling around he injured his knee while playing basketball. It's not surprising if he got on a lot of extra weight. :/

Here's the pre fight press conference... It was ok. Kinda like the ones we've had before the McGregor era. Everything was all about the event and mostly respectful. I kinda like it this way sometimes.

Yup! Jamahal Sweet Dreams Hill got a knee injury from a basketball session and sure most of the players from that basketball game consist mostly of UFC fighters, so he will be gone in the UFC for a long time for sure, that is why we are not seeing him anytime soon and right now I think he is still rehabilitating from his injury,
