Sonnen named two fighters capable of conquering three UFC divisions

Dmitriy Kel Aug. 8, 2025, 3 a.m.

A well-known former mixed martial artist, now an expert and commentator, Chael Sonnen named two UFC fighters who, in his opinion, have a chance to win titles in three different weight classes.

ā€œI like the idea of a triple title. I think we currently have two guys who can do it, and these two have already achieved victories in two divisions. Iliya Topuria just needs to do it in welterweight, and that seems possible. Even likely. But thereā€™s also Alex Pereira.

If you move such a guy to heavyweight, then put him in a matchup with a very dangerous fighter who will hit with hands and feet. Will this dangerous fighter be able to reach Pereiraā€™s chin and take him down? If not, then the fight between Pereira and Tom is our most likely path to a triple title. And Drikus du Plessis still has a lot of work to do in middleweight,ā€ quotes Sonnen MMA Junkie.
