Summary

Alex Pereira has expressed his belief that the clash between Kayla Harrison and Amanda Nunes should headline UFC 334, set for November 14 at Madison Square Garden. Currently, the main event features Ciryl Gane defending his heavyweight title against Josh Hokit. Pereira criticized the card's poster, highlighting the significant accomplishments of both Harrison, an Olympic gold medalist and reigning bantamweight champion, and Nunes, a two-division champion regarded as the greatest female fighter in MMA history. Both fighters may consider retirement post-fight, increasing the stakes of their matchup. Pereira is preparing for his own bout with Sergei Pavlovich at UFC 335, following the controversial end to Tom Aspinall's title reign.
