UFC analyst doesn’t agree that Alex Pereira will be the GOAT with White House win

UFC analyst Laura Sanko doesn’t agree with Dana White that Alex Pereira could lead the GOAT debate after this weekend.

In the co-main event of UFC Freedom 250, Alex Pereira will collide with Ciryl Gane over the UFC interim heavyweight championship. The winner will go on to face Tom Aspinall for the undisputed belt, but the biggest story here is Poatan.

If Pereira wins, he will become the first-ever fighter to win a world title in three weight classes in the UFC, even if some may not count it fully as a result of it being an interim belt.

Dana White recently suggested that a win would see Pereira vault above Jon Jones in the ‘greatest of all time’ conversation. Laura Sanko, on the other hand, isn’t so sure.

“It’s a little too soon,” Sanko told MMA Junkie of White’s comment. “It’s a little bit too soon for me, personally. If he’s able to do that, the frothiness in me is like, ‘Yes, you’re the greatest of all time.’ But then I sit back and I’m like, ‘I’m sorry, Jon Jones’ resume is just – it’s not the same. It’s not the same.

“Alex Pereira has been unbelievable, and he’s been one of one. I will tell you this: I don’t know if anyone will ever do that again if he does it. Even if Ilia Topuria, even Islam (Makhachev). I don’t know that anyone will ever do that again, period. Ever. One of one in history, but I don’t know if I’m ready to give him the GOAT.”
