Former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping has spoken out about a potential fight between the promotion's welterweight division titleholder Alex Pereira and Magomed Ankalaev.
"If you look at the fighters that Pereira has beaten - like Khalil Rountree and Jiri Prohazka - they have gaps in their technical arsenal. Magomed Ankalaev is much bigger than those guys, he's just a giant for his weight class. He doesn't fight like Khabib, but he can definitely do it. Really, he says he's not going to fight Pereira..... If he comes out to fight Alex in the standup and gets into a exchange, he's going to get knocked out," Bisping told TNT Sports.
