Cormier suggested why the UFC is keeping Pereira safe

Alexandr Ormanji Aug. 15, 2024, 10:36 a.m.

Daniel Cormier, former two-division UFC champion and current commentator and analyst, explained why the promotion is so protective of Alex Pereira, the bantamweight champion.

"Now they're going to wait, or they're going to give him some punchers, because he's knocking out all the punchers left and right, and his star is getting brighter and brighter in the process. Perhaps that is what is currently happening with Alex Pereira. I'm very rarely surprised when fights are announced, but when I heard that Ancalaev would be fighting Rakic at UFC 308, my jaw dropped. At that moment I thought - they want to protect their golden goose, that's what it looks like."
