Michael Bisping, a UFC Hall of Famer, speculates that Alex Pereira might retire if he loses to Sergei Pavlovich at UFC 335. Pereira is set to compete in the heavyweight co-main event, marking his return to the division after a contested decision loss to Ciryl Gane at UFC Freedom 250.
Pavlovich, known for his power and significant knockout victories over fighters like Derrick Lewis and Tai Tuivasa, presents a formidable challenge. Pereira, nearing 40, is approaching what could be the later stages of his fighting career.
Bisping shared his thoughts on his YouTube channel, questioning if this event could signal the end of Pereira's time in the Octagon. He noted Pereira's fighting style, which he described as less mobile, and the increased power in the heavyweight division. Bisping pondered Pereira's motivation if he were to face another loss, suggesting it would necessitate multiple wins to get back into title contention and questioning if Pereira would pursue that path.
