Robert Whittaker is warning Alex Pereira not to fight fellow UFC champion Dricus Du Plessis at middleweight. Light heavyweight champ Pereira (11-2 MMA, 8-1 UFC) expressed interest in dropping back down to 185 pounds to challenge middleweight champ Du Plessis (22-2 MMA, 8-0 UFC), who’s fresh off a fourth-round submission of Israel Adesanya at UFC 305 . The last time Pereira competed at middleweight, he was knocked out by Adesanya at UFC 287. He has since dominated the light heavyweight division, but Whittaker thinks draining himself back down to 185 pounds would be detrimental to him. “Honestly I don’t think that’s a good fight for him,” Whittaker told Submission Radio
