Robert Whittaker firmly asserted his belief that the current light heavyweight roster lacks any competitor who could realistically defeat Alex Pereira.
Whittaker elaborated on his assessment, stating, “The individuals who possessed the strongest potential to overcome Alex Pereira are no longer active in the sport. Regrettably, that era has passed. Consequently, I perceive no one within this weight class who presents a legitimate threat to Alex. His ascent to the heavyweight division is a judicious decision, offering significant advantages both in terms of enhancing his global superstar status and securing greater financial remuneration.”
