Kamaru Usman, former UFC welterweight champion, has spoken out about the career prospects of the promotion's current bantamweight champion Alex Pereira.
"Of course, Tom Aspinall is a very good fighter. He is the interim heavyweight champion. However, I think Alex Pereira has the potential to become a champion in this division if he continues to train and fight. If Alex wants to fight next month, he could do 84kg, 93kg, and 100kg with no problem. However, if his opponents take the path of least resistance and avoid fighting him, they may have a problem. Alex has a unique fighting style that makes it difficult for opponents to prepare for him. I believe that if Alex continues to improve and fight the same way, he will be a formidable opponent for any fighter in the middleweight, flyweight and heavyweight divisions," Yardbarker quoted Usman as saying.
