Did the Ciryl Gane fight expose Alex Pereira's inability to take punches from heavyweight?

Renowned MMA coach Ray Longo has expressed doubts regarding Alex Pereira's ability to handle heavyweight power in the UFC. Pereira is scheduled to face knockout artist Sergei Pavlovich in a five-round co-main event at UFC 335 on December 12 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Several fighters and commentators have voiced concerns about Pereira remaining at the 265-pound division following his previous title reigns at middleweight and light heavyweight. The upcoming bout against Pavlovich is anticipated to serve as a pivotal heavyweight title contender matchup.
