Carlos UlbergvsAlex Pereira

Ulberg's more of a volume guy with slick movement, the type who picks you apart. He starched Alonzo Menifield in 12 seconds and just handled Dominick Reyes like it was nothing back in September. The technical chess match here would be insane. Does Ulberg's speed and footwork give Poatan problems, or does that power shot eventually find a home? Ulberg's been grinding out wins against top guys like Jan Blachowicz and Volkan Oezdemir, showing he can hang with the best. But Pereira's defended that belt multiple times against killers, and his timing is just different.

That October rematch with Ankalaev proved he can bounce back from adversity, finishing the fight in the first round after losing their first meeting. And get this: we're talking about the Light Heavyweight title on the line. If this fight happened, it would be massive for both guys' legacies and would answer the question everyone's been asking: can anyone at 205 actually solve the Poatan puzzle? The only wrinkle is all the talk about Pereira potentially moving up to heavyweight for a superfight with Jon Jones, which could shake up the entire title picture.
