Ben Askren, former Bellator and ONE champion, spoke about the prospects Alexa Pereira, UFC light heavyweight champion, win the championship belt in the heavyweight division. According to Askren, the Brazilian has such a chance, but it will be extremely difficult for him due to the fight.

“This is a difficult task for Pereira. It will be difficult for him at the heavyweight division because of the wrestling aspect that these guys have. If Jon Jones or Tom Aspinall hangs on him, things won’t end well for Pereira...” Askren said.

Let us remember that Askren previously expressed doubt that McGregor will return to the Octagon.
