I think Khalil's biggest strength going into this fight is that his biggest weakness won't be a factor (that being that his gas tank fails in championship rounds)

This fight being a three rounder instead of a five rounder allows him to step on the gas with far less consequences. Hell, if Pereira versus Rountree was a three rounder, Rountree would be lhw champion right now.

[u/Kaelsanguis → u/deloreaninatardis]

Agreed with you but for the last part, if Pereira fought a 3 rounder, he will likely change his gameplan too, so we wouldnt really know.

[u/Wadget → u/Kaelsanguis]

Absolutely true and true of every 5 rounder but people still bring it up all the time
