Robert Whittaker Says No One Left to Threaten Alex Pereira at Light Heavyweight

Middleweight Whittaker believes Pereira has outlasted his challengers, saying, “The guys who could beat Alex aren’t in the division anymore… it was an era ago.” After reclaiming the light-heavyweight belt at UFC 320 against Magomed Ankalaev and previously winning middleweight gold, Pereira revealed plans to move up to heavyweight, a step ex-champion Whittaker called smart for “super-stardom and money.”
