That’s according to UFC color commentator, Joe Rogan.

“There’s a lot of chatter about him fighting in the heavyweight division,” Rogan said on his ”Experience” podcast. “There’s a lot of chatter about him perhaps even fighting Ciryl Gane. I don’t know how much is true, I haven’t talked to Dana (White) about it.”

“But it’s not an illogical move,” Rogan said about Pereira’s possible jump to heavyweight. “He’s 240 pounds right now, 240 plus. Make no mistake about it, that guy can knock out heavyweights. No doubt about it. He hits harder than anyone they’ve ever recorded.”
