• New training clips show Pereira repeatedly defending takedowns against a line of fresh partners, with the footage widely shared by outlets such as Red Corner MMA.
• Ankalaev mocked the drills on X, writing, “You don’t need to worry about wrestling, I’m gonna find this big head again,” while also deriding Pereira’s partners.
