Description
The greatest Brazilian mixed-martial-arts of all time, Guilherme Cruz, returns to The Craic to give us the low-down on the impact Alex Pereira is having in his homeland.
Can Poatan reached the lofty height Anderson Silva, Vitor Belfort and Jose Aldo once soared to, or is the lack of a deal with powerhouse network Globo providing a significant obstacle to him achieving. Cruz talks us through Pereira’s origin story and explains why he believes heavyweight is his natural next port of call.
As well as that, Cruz discusses his recent trip to Sao Paulo where he witnessed a training session at Chute Boxe featuring Ian Machado Garry.
