Daniel Cormier has mapped out a path for how Alex Pereira can become the greatest UFC fighter of all time. Pereira has now defended his UFC light heavyweight title three times in the span of seven months, most recently with a brutal fourth-round TKO of Khalil Rountree this past Saturday at UFC 307 . Pereira, who also held the UFC middleweight title, now has as many title defenses as Cormier did at 205 pounds. Cormeir said winning a third UFC title could separate Pereira (12-2 MMA, 9-1 UFC ) from the pack. “Pereira is in the conversation for the greatest of all time,” Cormier said on “Good Guy/Bad Guy” with Chael Sonnen. “Not yet quite the greatest, but if he can somehow win a fight at heavyweight, compete for the championship, or continue to defend this belt at light heavyweight, I don’t know that you can even question it
