"After what we saw this Sunday, after Pereira's fight with Ancalaev, I honestly came to the conclusion that this is his limit weight where he's going to be successful. I don't think he's strong enough to handle bigger guys.
The pressure that Ancalaev was able to apply without the dangerous attacks in return that we were expecting tells me that heavyweights can pass anything he throws at them," Cormier said.
Recall that Ancalaev defeated Pereira by unanimous decision of the judges (48-47, 49-46, 48-47) in the main event of UFC 313 on March 8.
