Alex Pereira’s sparring footage concerns former UFC champion

Former UFC champion Michael Bisping has raised concerns about Alex Pereira's preparation for his interim heavyweight title fight against Ciryl Gane scheduled for UFC White House on June 14. Bisping reviewed recent sparring footage of Pereira working with heavyweight Tallison Teixeira and was unimpressed with what he saw. The commentary focused on Pereira's limited output and a moment where he was clipped by Teixeira. Bisping suggested that if Pereira is truly ready for Gane, he should be handling Teixeira more convincingly, and highlighted the speed advantage Gane will likely possess in the bout. Pereira's jump from middleweight to heavyweight remains a significant undertaking.
