Dana White thinks Alex Pereira “might be the pound-for-pound best fighter in the world” with the right type of win over Magomed Ankalaev.

Dana White says if Alex Pereira does to Magomed Ankalaev what he’s done to almost every single opponent he’s faced since moving to light heavyweight, there’s a good argument he should be considered the best pound-for-pound fighter in the sport.

UFC star Alex Pereira has only had 11 fights in the UFC. However, since his debut in 2021, he has become a middleweight champion and a light heavyweight champion, with 3 title defenses in a single year. Now, with another title defense just days away at UFC 313 on March 8, the 205er is on the verge of landing on another milestone.
