UFC veteran Robert Whittaker has expressed his strong conviction that the current roster of the light heavyweight division simply does not contain any fighter capable of overcoming Alex Pereira.
The former middleweight champion elaborated on his perspective, suggesting that the elite athletes who once held the best prospects for defeating Pereira are unfortunately no longer active competitors. Whittaker highlighted that these formidable opponents largely belong to a previous generation of fighters, making the current landscape less challenging for Pereira.
Whittaker firmly believes that there is currently no one in the 205-pound category who poses a genuine or significant threat to Alex Pereira`s dominance. Consequently, he views Pereira`s potential progression to the heavyweight division as a highly sensible and strategic decision.
According to Whittaker, such a transition would offer substantial benefits for Pereira, both for solidifying his already prominent superstar status and for securing significant financial advantages, making it a wise career move for the Brazilian striking sensation.
