Kevin Holland analyzes potential Alex Pereira vs. Khamzat Chimaev fight

Kevin Holland recently shared his perspective on a rumored Alex Pereira vs. Khamzat Chimaev matchup, a potential fight that has sparked speculation in the MMA community. Speaking on the Overdogs Podcast with Mike Perry, Mac Mally, and Ice Bagz, Holland offered a breakdown of the hypothetical clash, highlighting the fighters' contrasting styles:

"I was talking to the bro about that earlier. That's a tough one. It's an easy sell, but it's a tough fight to call. It's like anything outside of round one, it's probably Pereira. Anything inside round one, it's probably Chimaev. I don't think Pereira is the fastest starter so if Chimaev gets a hold of him, that sucks... The way [Chimaev] starts is crazy. I've experienced it."

Check out Kevin Holland's comments on Alex Pereira vs. Khamzat Chimaev below (55:39):

Pereira, who defended his light heavyweight title with a fourth-round TKO over Khalil Rountree Jr. at UFC 307, has hinted that his next opponent may not be Magomed Ankalaev, the expected contender.

Despite never competing in the light heavyweight division, rumors suggest Chimaev could step into the title picture, but neither UFC CEO Dana White nor the fighters have confirmed the matchup.
