Michael Bisping: What Alex Pereira said about UFC 334 headliner is 'crazy'
The way Michael Bisping sees it, Alex Pereira is probably just salty about his loss to Ciryl Gane.
Michael Bisping, commenting on UFC 334's main event selection, believes Alex Pereira's criticism is misguided. The main event features Ciryl Gane defending his undisputed heavyweight title against Josh Hokit. Meanwhile, the co-headliner sees UFC bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes returning from retirement for a rematch against Kayla Harrison.
Pereira, who will face Sergei Pavlovich at UFC 335, expressed his dissatisfaction with the event's main event choice on social media. Bisping, speaking on his YouTube channel, finds Pereira's comments about the UFC's decision to be "crazy." He argues that the heavyweight bout between Gane and Hokit deserves the main event spotlight, given the fighters' prominence and the significance of the title fight.
Bisping also points out that both Gane and Hokit have been recently featured at high-profile events, adding to their relevance. He further elaborates that Pereira's frustration stems from a previous disagreement and that it's not a smart look for his career. Bisping concludes by emphasizing that the heavyweight title fight between Gane and Hokit is undoubtedly the main event story of the night.
