Dana White is here

Worth weight-ing around
Despite his tease to heavyweight, Alex Pereira still plans to defend his light-heavy crown.
He said: “You guys can see what I was doing in there. I told everyone that he was a strong guy and I couldn’t go away from my strategy.
“I was getting the distance and my timing, everything went perfect.
“I don’t let this belt go to my head, I have to come in here and win it to become the champion. I want to continue defending this belt.”
