Continually linked with a massive heavyweight leap in the form of a future title fight against heavyweight champion, Jon Jones, light heavyweight kingpin, Alex Pereira’s head coach claims a fight with the former and his student would be the “biggest” bout in the history of mixed martial arts.
Pereira, who is in the midst of a stunning light heavyweight run since his divisional leap last summer, added to his exploits at 205lbs at UFC 303 over the course of the weekend, laying waste to Jiri Prochazka with a blistering knockout win.
And already weighing up a heavyweight divisional leap off the back of his second career knockout win in a title fight, Pereira has aspirations to become the first three-weight champion in the history of the organization.
