Alex Pereira is preparing for one of the most dangerous fights of his career—against Sergei Pavlovich at UFC 325. Michael Bisping breaks down this incredible rivalry and explains why a fight with such a heavyweight could be a turning point for the former UFC champion.

Pereira has previously held titles at middleweight and light heavyweight, and is now trying to establish himself in the heavyweight division. But Sergei Pavlovich is a completely different level of physical prowess. The Russian heavyweight has 16 knockout victories, and virtually every punch he lands can finish a fight.

In this video, Bisping details Alex Pereira's strengths and weaknesses, the danger Pavlovich poses, Pereira's possible future after this fight, and whether Alex can re-enter the championship race.

We also discuss the other main fights of UFC 325: Charles Oliveira vs. Diego Lopez and Joe Pifer vs. Bo Nickal.

Can Alex Pereira stop Sergei Pavlovich? Or will Pavlovich be the one to deal Pereira his second tough defeat in a row?
