Popular American mixed martial arts veteran Jorge Masvidal has spoken out about the possible move of UFC bantamweight champion Alex Pereira to the heavyweight division.
"I don't want Alex to go to heavyweight. I like where he is right now. He's beaten some good guys at welterweight, but not too long ago he was a middleweight. So let him seriously establish himself at flyweight.
Alex is going to be very uncomfortable among the heavyweights. There are guys there who can take a fight away from exchanging punches in a second. He's going to get knocked down and pinned to the floor in no time. There are still worthy opponents for him in the welterweight division. Though what's the sin - I'll be watching his fights at any weight," Masvidal said in an interview with Full Send Podcast.
Recall that on June 30 at UFC 303 in Las Vegas, USA, Pereira made the second defense of the belt, knocking out Jiri Prohazka.
