What did you expect?
The guy was already a vet when he joined UFC
Everyone was talking about how it was impossible for him to get a title shot. He was too old, first grappler would expose him, he wouldn't have enough time to learn take down defence
Pereira needed to get fast tracked. He was sign to face Adesanya
And his title shot was legit, he beat a top 5 and future champ
Aldo retired at 36, same age as Poatan now
Khamzat, on the other hand, sign UFC at 26, was also fast tracked, but wasted opportunities
