”The things that Khalil has going for him is — one, he’s a southpaw. Two, and he has valuable threats from southpaw. If you actually look at even his [Pereira’s] kickboxing career and all that, southpaws and southpaw is a stance that gives him trouble. Can he beat southpaws? Yes. But I haven’t seen him really dominate a southpaw that has multiple threats from southpaw.”
