🚨| Alex Pereira’s head coach Plinio Cruz told Pereira that the plan for fight week was to stay at the fighter hotel, pretend it’s an undercard fight, get the win, and go back home.
He didn’t want Pereira to feel the responsibility of carrying the entire #UFC303 event.
He says he told Pereira this exact quote:
“Sometimes you have enough time to look at the blueprint of the bank, cut the cameras, and plan a bank robbery, but sometimes you just give your friends a gun, tell them to hop in the car and let’s go rob a bank together.” 🥶

A black belt will never make fun of a white belt struggling.
A millionaire will never make fun of someone starting a business.
A champion won't make fun of a beginner who is trying.
People who are criticizing you for trying just want you to stay average with them.
