Whittaker does not see a fighter in the light heavyweight division who could compete with Pereira

Robert Whittaker stated that at the moment there is no fighter capable of beating Pereira in the light heavyweight division.

“The fighters who had the best chance of defeating Alex Pereira are no longer fighting. That was a generation ago, unfortunately. There is no one in this division who poses a threat to Alex. Moving up to heavyweight is the right decision, both from a superstar status perspective and from a financial perspective.”
