It's certainly going to be interesting to see whether or not this is going to have a big impact on Pereira and how he approaches this fight. Strickland isn't particularly known for his wrestling prowess, but he's definitely the right kind of fighter to have around when you're viewed as an underdog in a world title fight.

It's always great to see former rivals putting their differences aside to train with each other, and it'll be interesting to see how long they keep up this partnership.
