Sonnen named the condition under which Pereira will become “Fighter of the Year”

Former UFC and Bellator fighter Chael Sonnen believes that the former UFC middleweight champion Alex Pereira could become “Fighter of the Year” if he beats Jiri Prochazka at UFC 295.

“The current leader in the Fighter of the Year nomination is very clear, it is Makhachev. However, if Pereira wins on November 12 and becomes the light heavyweight champion, given that he won the middleweight belt on November 12 last year, that is, two titles within a calendar year, that would make him the best fighter of 2023,” Sonnen said.

Let us remind you that the confrontation between Pereira and Prochazka will take place on the night of November 12 in New York.
