Video: Could Alex Pereira be a longstanding light heavyweight champion after UFC 295?

Alex Pereira[autotag] knocked out Jiri Prochazka this past Saturday to claim the vacant light heavyweight title at UFC 295, making him the ninth two-division champ in UFC history.

Nobody has accomplished the feat faster than former middleweight champ Pereira, however, as he needed just seven UFC appearances to do it.

Since Jon Jones’ departure from the 205-pound division, this title belt has been passed around quite a bit. Do you see Pereira having a long reign at the top? Our “Spinning Back Clique” panel of Mike Bohn, Nolan King and Simon Samano answered that question with host “Gorgeous” George Garcia.

You can watch their discussion in the video above and check out this week’s full episode on YouTube below.
