Michael Bisping says ‘flat-footed’ Alex Pereira could get retired by Sergei Pavlovich at UFC 335

Former UFC champion Michael Bisping expressed serious concerns regarding Alex Pereira's upcoming heavyweight bout against Sergei Pavlovich at UFC 335 on December 12 at T-Mobile Arena. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Bisping warned that Pereira's fighting style could lead to a career-ending knockout loss against the dangerous Russian heavyweight puncher.

Bisping described Pereira as flat-footed and questioned how effectively his power would translate against natural heavyweights capable of taking heavy shots. He suggested a knockout loss could push Pereira into retirement and derail his title hopes, echoing sentiments from fellow commentator Daniel Cormier that Pereira should instead return to light heavyweight.
