Zahabi assessed Pereira's chances in the UFC heavyweight division

Famous Canadian coach Firas Zahabi commented on the talk that Alex Pereira capable of conquering the third weight category.

“If Pereira meets Jones, we will see a quick one-round fight. Let's say that if this is Alex's best day, then he will last a maximum of one and a half to two rounds.

But if Pereira wins the heavyweight title, then Daniel Cormier should come back, pick up the belt and retire again. If I were him, I would do exactly that,” Zahabi said.

Let us remind you that on November 12 at UFC 295, Pereira knocked out Jiri Prochazka and took the vacant light heavyweight belt into his hands. Before this, the Brazilian was the champion of the division below.
