But the conclusive moment came at the 4:24 mark of Round 2 as Pereira put Cowan away with a highlight-reel knee. Pereira is one of the youngest fighters on the roster having only recently turned 20, but if her post-fight interview is any indication, sheโ€™s not lacking in confidence. โ€œIโ€™m real, motherf*ckers,โ€ Pereira said.
