Sorry, but Alex Pereira not UFC ‘GOAT’ with White House win over Ciryl Gane - ‘It’s promoter talk’
MMA Mania • • general
Key Points:
- Michael Bisping asserts that Alex Pereira would become the UFC Greatest Of All Time (GOAT) if he wins a third division title by defeating Ciryl Gane at UFC White House, as no fighter has ever been a three-weight division champion.
- UFC CEO Dana White also supports the idea that a victory over Gane would make Pereira the GOAT, though some analysts like Laura Sanko remain cautious, citing Jon Jones' superior resume.
- Retired fighter Matt Brown suggests Dana White's GOAT claims are promotional and that while Pereira could be the most accomplished with three titles, he may not yet be the greatest.
- Pereira's potential third title is currently an interim belt while Tom Aspinall recovers from eye surgery, meaning Pereira might need to unify the title to solidify his GOAT status.
- Jon Jones remains widely regarded as the GOAT due to his multiple UFC records and two-division championships, setting a high bar for Pereira to surpass.
