"I'm excited about what I'm doing for the welterweight division. But to be realistic, it's almost unrealistic today to equal Jon Jones or Anderson Silva in terms of title defenses. The sport has become very competitive. Also, multiple defenses don't always make people happy, it makes the fighter happy. An example is Adesanya. Everyone was excited about his fights when he was rising. But when he had a string of defenses, people stopped watching and buying PPVs," Pereira said in an interview with SHAK MMA's YouTube channel.
