Video: Alex Pereira Spars with UFC Heavyweight

Last Thursday, Ed Soares, manager of UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira, made it clear in an exclusive interview with Sherdog.com that his athlete’s next move has not yet been decided.

He then analyzed all the possibilities, whether at light heavywweight — Khamzat Chimaev or Carlos Ulberg — or in a possible move to heavyweight against the likes of Jon Jones or Ciryl Gane.

Holding His Own

While the UFC has not decided its next step, Pereira continues to stay in good shape. Through Instagram stories, “Poatan” shared a video of a sparring session during a trip to Florianopolis with Jhonata Diniz, UFC heavyweight and former Glory fighter, at the RFA gym. In the images, the champion exchanges blows at close range with his training partner and draws attention for the absence of a physical disadvantage against the athlete from the higher division.
