“We would have retained respect for him forever”- Michel Pereira expected better conduct from Francis Ngannou
Now in another interesting turn of events, Pereira revealed how a fight almost broke between him, and Francis Ngannou. Talking to Canal Encarada, he said, “We celebrated my victory at the hotel, had fun, and we are such guys, we move only with music, we constantly light up, even when we cut weight. I always rock, and my guys are the same. Constantly moving noisily, having parties. Guerra was drinking there non-stop, everyone was joking, bantering. And our room was next door to Ngannou.” (H/T MMA Mania)
“He comes up and says, ‘Hey, do you think it’s real to fall asleep when there’s such a noise? How do I sleep, huh?’ Honestly, at that moment I felt uncomfortable. I was after a hard fight, my nose was broken, my legs were beaten off. If Ngannou started a fight, what would I do to him? The team is already all drunk, they wouldn’t have helped me in any way,” Pereira stated. (H/T MMA Mania)
He added, “Honestly, Ngannou made me angry. Why couldn’t he address us politely? He was lucky that I was all beaten up and couldn’t do anything, especially for a guy of this size. I don’t even want to think about it. I know he’s a modest, nice guy, but why couldn’t he tell us politely, ‘Hey, guys, could you …’ I didn’t like the way he spoke to us. You need to be polite to people. If he had addressed us politely, we would have retained respect for him forever.” (H/T MMA Mania)
