Undisputed light heavyweight champion, Alex Pereira will likely lay waste to potential foe, Magomed Ankalaev like many contenders before him ahead of a future pairing in the new year, according to UFC veteran and Hall of Fame inductee, Michael Bisping.
Pereira, a former undisputed middleweight champion and the current undisputed light heavyweight gold holder, has been sidelined since October, winning himself a Fighter of the Year accolade following a splendid annum, capped off by a UFC 308 win.
Headlining the promotion’s return to Utah, Pereira landed his third consecutive defense of the light heavyweight crown this year alone with a stunning fourth round stoppage against challenger, Khalil Rountree — finishing him with a barrage of strikes at the Octagon fence.
