Pereira Challenges Chimaev To Charity BJJ Grappling Match

“That guy says he wants ot fight with me, he’s gotta get there, understand? He’s far. But, I could challenge him to fight in his area if he wants. Let me look at you directly, let’s fight in your area, grappling. And anothing thing – we can fight in [UFC BJJ]. Let’s do that then, let’s make it happen. I don’t even know how much money I’ll make, but good money though. You know who I am, the money is good, that money will be donated 100 percent to charity. That work for you? Chama,” Pereira

“Let’s go I can submit you both on the same night. Let’s go easy money [Alex],” Chimaev replied

The Approach

Pereira’s first priority would be takedown defense, using his size and physical strength to stay upright. However, the true danger lies in Pereira’s offense: he has a history of utilizing a standing guillotine choke and is excellent at using the cage to create scrambles. He might look to set up an unconventional submission from the bottom or use his considerable raw power and frame to initiate a scramble back to the feet, hoping to catch Chimaev during a transition.

Chimaev’s strategy would be to immediately leverage his superior wrestling and physical strength to gain top control and dictate the pace. Chimaev’s goal would be to bypass aggressive submission attempts from Pereira’s guard and move straight to positions like the back or the crucifix, where he has demonstrated an ability to maintain control for entire rounds.
