Michael Bisping also doesn’t think Alex Pereira should be cornering Sean Strickland at UFC 312. Light heavyweight champion Pereira will corner Strickland (29-6 MMA, 16-6 UFC) for his title-fight rematch against middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis (22-2 MMA, 8-0 UFC), which headlines Saturday’s card at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney ( ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPN2, ESPN+). With Pereira a month out from his title defense against Magomed Ankalaev in the UFC 313 main event on March 8, Bisping agrees with Cormier that cornering Strickland will serve as a big distraction.
