Rumors are swirling around a potential heavyweight bout at UFC 313 where Alex Pereira, the current light heavyweight champion, could take on Alexander Volkov.
This matchup has ignited a mix of excitement and skepticism among fans. While some question the competitive balance, suggesting Pereira might be sidestepping a title defense against Magomed Ankalaev, others see it as a strategic move to diversify his fighting experience and potentially increase his earnings.
Discussions around Pereira’s fight choices hint at a complex interplay of personal strategy and UFC matchmaking, though direct evidence of UFC’s influence on these decisions remains elusive.
Despite the debates, the prospect of seeing how Pereira’s striking prowess matches up against Volkov’s reach and grappling skills adds an intriguing layer to this anticipated event.
