Former UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos will be interested to watch Alex Pereira vs. Ciryl Gane for the interim heavyweight belt.<\/p>\n
Pereira is set to move up<\/a> to heavyweight to face Gane for the interim belt at the White House in what should be an intriguing fight. The Brazilian is looking to win a title in his third weight class, which would be UFC history, and dos Santos believes he will do just that as he thinks Gane is a good matchup for him.<\/p>\n \u2018He\u2019s gonna knock Gane out\u2019<\/p>\n \u201cI think he\u2019s gonna do very well, actually, especially in this debut against Gane,\u201d dos Santos said to Ariel Helwani<\/a>. \u201cI think it\u2019s a great fight for him because of his style. He\u2019s always putting pressure on his opponents, taking their space.<\/p>\n \u201cGane is very fast, he has good skills, but the way Alex fights is putting on a lot of pressure and finding a good moment to throw those hard hands. I think it\u2019s gonna happen. At some point, he\u2019s gonna knock Gane out in his debut at heavyweight.\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s an interesting prediction from dos Santos, as Gane has proven to have a good chin at heavyweight. However, he believes Pereira\u2019s power at heavyweight is different, and it will lead to a stoppage win in his debut.<\/p>\n
