McGregor: "Pereira is capable of causing a lot of problems for Jones"

UFC Irish star fighter Conor McGregor has expressed confidence that the promotion's bantamweight titleholder Alex Pereira is capable of giving a competitive fight to heavyweight division champion Jon Jones.

"Alex is capable of causing a lot of problems for Jones. His style is a danger to Jon, but it suits him because Alex is not as big," The Independent quotes Conor as saying.

Recall that last weekend at UFC 307 Pereira made his third title defense, knocking out Rountree in the third round.
