Alex Pereira believes Sergei Pavlovich could attempt takedowns
\nif his early knockout punches fail<\/h2>\n

Speaking to Connect Cast, Pereira suggested Pavlovich will
\ninitially rely on his power before attempting to wear him down with
\nwrestling if the striking exchanges don\u2019t go his way.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think against me, maybe he might think, \u2018I\u2019m going to unleash
\nthe machine gun and knock this guy out,\u2019\u201d Pereira said. \u201cI don\u2019t
\nknow what happens, but he might unleash the machine gun, and if he
\ncan\u2019t land his shots, he might try to wrestle me to wear me out.
\nBut I\u2019m getting ready; I\u2019m excited about the training and
\neverything I\u2019ve been doing with the team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pavlovich finished Tallison
\nTeixeira<\/a> in 39 seconds in his most recent bout, extending his
\nwinning streak to three. Pereira, meanwhile, is coming off a
\nstoppage loss to Ciryl Gane<\/a>
\nat
\nUFC Freedom 250<\/a> in June.<\/p>\n
