St-Pierre Calls Pereira Best Striker in Light Heavyweight History

Former UFC double champion Georges St-Pierre has stated that he considers the current light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira to be the best striker to ever compete in this division. 

I think Alex Pereira is the best striker the light heavyweight division has ever seen. It's just incredible. But the question is how would he pair up against a guy who's more of a wrestler? A guy who's gonna try to bring the fight to the ground?...He needs to answer that before trying to go up... because in heavyweight, you have Tom Aspinall...Jon Jones, these guys are very good wrestlers.

Pereira last fought in the octagon in June 2024 at UFC 303, where he secured a technical knockout victory over Jiří Procházka in the second round. Their first encounter, which took place in November 2023 at UFC 295, also ended with Pereira winning by technical knockout in the second round. He boasts a record of 11 wins and 2 losses.
