Daniel Cormier and Chael Sonnen Warn Khamzat Chimaev About Alex Pereira’s Size Advantage

Discussing a potential light-heavyweight and middleweight champions Pereira-Chimaev clash, Sonnen said, “Pereira is so big… that’s a big man to drag to the canvas for 25 minutes.” Cormier agreed, adding, “Size has to matter at some point. Maybe not from 170 to 185, but when you jump 20 pounds, it does.” Both analysts believe Pereira’s frame poses serious challenges.
