Whittaker: 'Pereira is more comfortable for me than Adesanya'

Former UFC Middleweight Champion Robert Whittaker spoke about a potential fight with the current title holder Alex Pereira, and also appreciated its impressive dimensions for the division.

“As I said earlier, I don’t plan further than the duel with Costa. But I can say that Pereira is a more convenient opponent for me than Adesanya. Because of his stance and love to constantly move forward. His style is comfortable for me, but have you seen the dimensions of this guy? This dude is just a giant.

When I had my resetdowns with Adesanya, I was surprised by how big he was. He looks long and skinny, but he's actually a big guy. And then you see Pereira next to him. He has a bigger head, his legs and arms are just huge. I thought, who let him in here? But still, I believe that I can defeat him, ”Whittaker quotes MMA Fighting.
