MMA analyst Laura Sanko has given her thoughts on Alex Pereira fighting Carlos Ulberg before a heavyweight switch.<\/p>\n
Right now, the sky is the limit for Alex Pereira. He defeated Magomed Ankalaev to recapture the UFC light heavyweight championship at UFC 320 and ever since then, many have been questioning what\u2019s next for him \u2013 whether it be<\/a> Carlos Ulberg, Jiri Prochazka or perhaps a move to heavyweight.<\/p>\n RELATED: Carlos Ulberg shares surprising take on Alex Pereira\u2019s potential heavyweight move ahead of likely title shot<\/a><\/p>\n Pereira wants to go up to heavyweight to face Jon Jones at the White House, but not everyone is on board with that idea. If anything, a heavyweight move would make more sense if he was going after a third world title in a third weight class, which would make him the first fighter ever to achieve that goal.<\/p>\n In a recent interview, Lauro Sanko had the following to say about Pereira\u2019s future and what she wants to see next for \u2018Poatan\u2019.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Laura Sanko wants Alex Pereira to \u2018push the envelope\u2019 with UFC heavyweight move https:\/\/t.co\/1Eg7e03mUp<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 MMA Junkie (@MMAJunkie) October 9, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Sanko wants to see Pereira vs Ulberg<\/p>\n \u201cFor Alex, he\u2019s already doing such extraordinary things, I feel like we are fans want to see how far he can push the envelope,\u201d Sanko told MMA Junkie. \u201cHow extraordinary can he be? Yes, I would like to see him at some point, I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s next because I would love to see that Carlos fight, but at some I\u2019ve got to see him at heavyweight. How incredible would that be to be his story, to go win a fight, or even a title at heavyweight? That would be insane.<\/p>\n \u201cI would love to see him fight Carlos, and if he gets win over Carlos, I\u2019ve got to see him at heavyweight at some point,\u201d Sanko said. \u201cI saw some people arguing that Jiri jumped the line with his knockout. I don\u2019t think so just because we\u2019ve already seen that fight, as amazing as Jiri\u2019s phoenix rising from the ashes was. But I want to see the Carlos fight first.\u201d<\/p>\n Quotes via MMA Junkie<\/a><\/p>\n
