Former UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski shared his strategy for a hypothetical fight against the current light heavyweight division champion, Alex Pereira.
Money talks. I’m not going to stand up with that bloke, let’s be real, I’m gonna try to hang on to the legs and try to find that takedown. Because if you don’t, you’re going to be in for some hurtin’ that’s for sure.

Pereira last fought in the octagon against Khalil Rountree in October of this year at UFC 307. That match ended in the fourth round with a technical knockout in favor of Alex. He currently holds a record of 12 wins and two losses.
Volkanovski's most recent fight was against Ilia Topuria in February this year at UFC 298. In that bout, which was stopped in the second round, Alex lost by knockout, losing the UFC featherweight championship. His record stands at 26 wins and four losses.
