Unstoppable, Alex Poatán continues to silence critics. After knock out Khalil Rountree Jr. in the main fight of UFC 307, the Brazilian defended the light heavyweight title for the third time in less than a year, breaking what belonged to Ronda Rousey. In this way, the fighter deserved the top spot in the organization's pound-for-pound ranking, currently occupied by Islam Makhcachev. At least that's what he said. Michael Bisping.

On his YouTube channel, the former middleweight champion (up to 83,9 kg) and commentator commented on Poatan's performance.
“Pereira is running through everybody. Three title defenses in seven months and taking the world by storm. So it’s hard to deny that Pereira is number one. To be number one, pound for pound, you have to finish people; you can’t get through them with split decisions. You have to do it emphatically. And I don’t think there’s anyone with Alex Pereira’s finishing ability; it’s scary what he can do,” said the former fighter.

It is worth remembering that days before the UFC 307, Bisping speculated that perhaps the American was successful in the confrontation against the Brazilian. At the time, he mentioned, also on his YouTube channel, the possibility of Rountree's victory.
“He is very active; he is facing the main competition. Yes, of course, of course, maybe Magomed Ankalayev “He should have been there on Saturday night, but he wasn’t. That’s not his fault, you can’t hold it against him. But the people he’s beating, he’s doing it in a sensational way and he’s killing them. And that’s partly what I want to see,” concluded the Englishman.
