Pereira: I was destined to become a champion

I was destined to be champion. I worked hard, I gave my best to make it happen. I apologize that I resorted to trash talk this time, but I had to get inside this guy's head to get this fight. It was a tough fight, but like Glover (Teixeira) said, I had fights every day at practice. I was ready for it, so anybody who said I didn't have enough experience, that I wasn't established in the division, not ready for championship fights - take another look at what I did today. I had no problem fighting off five rounds. Give me the next one.
