Should the UFC see more champion vs. champion battles? The notion of having fighters hold titles in multiple weight classes like Conor McGregor and Henry Cejudo has always intrigued fans. Light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira has floated the idea of taking on middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis, even though he is already slated to face Khalil Rountree Jr. with Magomed Ankalaev waiting in the wings. Former champ Michael Bisping isn’t enthusiastic about this matchup, expressing concerns about the potential risks involved. Du Plessis and his team also seem unsure about the prospect of defending against Pereira. It seems improbable that the clash between the middleweight and light heavyweight champions will materialize soon, as both are focused on their forthcoming bouts. If Pereira is serious about being a three-division champion, Bisping suggests he should consider moving up to heavyweight. Let the current champions concentrate on defending their titles and validating their skills rather than pursuing unnecessary fights.
