LAS VEGAS – Joe Pyfer is not high on his opponent Abdul Razak Alhassan’s ceiling.
This Saturday, the two UFC middleweights collide in the co-main event of UFC Fight Night 229, which takes place at the UFC Apex and streams on ESPN+. Ahead of the contest, Pyfer (11-2 MMA, 2-0 UFC) showed respect for Alhassan (12-5 MMA, 6-5 UFC) and his skills, bout not so much for his overall promise.
“I think that he will never be somebody good enough or will never be good enough to challenge for the title,” Pyfer told MMA Junkie and other reporters at Wednesday’s UFC Fight Night 229 media day. “When you look at me, you have question marks, but you know there’s potential to be a title challenger if not a titleholder. I think that’s the difference.
