Robelis Despaigne Says Alex Pereira Could ‘Dominate’ UFC Heavyweight Division

The Cuban heavyweight believes the light heavyweight champion could dominate at heavyweight, insisting Pereira is “really a heavyweight,” cutting to 205. He said Pereira walks around at about 240 pounds and “has the punch of a heavyweight.” Despaigne also backs Pereira against Jon Jones, predicting a huge clash of Pereira’s elite striking against Jones’ wrestling if the super-fight ever happens.
