Chael Sonnen is still hopeful that Alex Pereira could pose Jon Jones problems after UFC 313. Pereira (12-3 MMA, 9-2 UFC) lost his light heavyweight title to Magomed Ankalaev (21-1-1 MMA, 12-1-1 UFC) by unanimous decision in this past Saturday’s main event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Alex Pereira had been one of the most actives champions in UFC history, but Aljamain Sterling feels the schedule might've caught up to him.

At UFC 313, Alex Pereira's 16-month-long reign as the UFC light heavyweight champion came to an end. 'Poatan' was defeated via unanimous decision by Magomed Ankalaev, who utilised his grappling against the cage to frustrate the Brazilian and neutralise his threat on the feet due to fears of the takedown.
