Robert Whittaker, a respected voice within the UFC, recently articulated his strong belief that the light heavyweight division currently lacks a fighter truly capable of defeating Alex Pereira. Whittaker expressed regret, noting that the generation of elite fighters who might have stood the best chance against Pereira has, unfortunately, long since passed, categorizing it as a bygone era in MMA.
He asserted unequivocally, “There is no one in this division who poses a threat to Alex.” Furthermore, Whittaker endorsed Pereira’s potential transition to the heavyweight division, perceiving it as a judicious and advantageous move that would significantly enhance both Pereira`s superstar appeal and his financial standing in the sport.
