UFC 335 could signal 'the end of Alex Pereira'
MMA Junkie • • sports
Key Points:
- Michael Bisping believes UFC 335 will be a pivotal moment for Alex Pereira's future in the heavyweight division, as Pereira faces Sergei Pavlovich in a crucial fight on December 12 in Las Vegas.
- Bisping highlights that while Pereira has shown tremendous power and success at middleweight and light heavyweight, his flat-footed style may be less effective against naturally larger and tougher heavyweights.
- Pereira lost his heavyweight debut to Ciryl Gane in a title fight, and Bisping warns that another loss to Pavlovich could significantly derail his career trajectory in the division.
- If Pereira loses, he would need multiple wins to contend for a title again, which may not align with his preference for only fighting for championships or returning to light heavyweight, where he could get a title shot more quickly.
- Bisping also notes that Pereira has already earned substantial money throughout his career, suggesting financial security might influence his decisions moving forward.
