Daniel Cormier is done doubting UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira.
Cormier marveled at the heights Pereira has reached without solidified wrestling ability. “Poatan” notched his first title defense when he knocked out Jamahal Hill in Round 1 of the UFC 300 headliner and teased a potential move to heavyweight in the future.
Looking at the upper echelon at heavyweight, Cormier sees Pereira (10-2 MMA, 7-1 UFC) facing difficulties with strong grapplers such as interim champion Tom Aspinall. However, he wouldn’t be surprised if Pereira found success at heavyweight, too.
