Reigning Bellator bantamweight champion Corey Anderson believes UFC bantamweight champion Alex Pereira is being given comfortable opponents.
"The situation in the UFC bantamweight division is becoming increasingly unstable - in every fight, the championship belt could change hands. Yes, there are those who will say, 'This guy will own the belt forever,' and I'm not denying it - Pereira is dangerous, one hundred percent, but, aside from Jan Blachowicz, who moved him twice and ran out of steam, who else has he fought who could move him? There just weren't any. I don't want to offend anyone and I'm just stating a fact - he's been given convenient opponents like Jamal Hill, and so far he hasn't fought any high caliber fighters who could give him a real test. All of his opponents have been good fighters, but not dangerous to him. He had one dangerous opponent and we saw what happened. It was the same with Blachowicz, but Jan got the fight plan wrong."

George Cambosos, an Australian lightweight boxer, said ahead of his bout with Vasyl Lomachenko that he "grew up on the Russian style".
"Kadushin is an extreme and organized guy with great intelligence and a great understanding of what needs to be done. It's a very different style, a European style. When you get one of the head coaches of the Russian national Olympic team and works with you every day, you can't help but get better. You have to realize that I came out of that style. I grew up on this Russian style."
Recall that the confrontation between Kambososos and Lomachenko will take place on May 12 in Perth. At stake will be the vacant IBF lightweight world title.
Jon Jones, the reigning UFC heavyweight champion, has spoken extensively about his bout with Tom Aspinall, the promotion's interim featherweight champion.
"Agree that his behavior is selfish. This guy - a perfectly healthy interim champion who is only 30 years old - is sitting around waiting for an opportunity to fight the winner of a fight between a 42-year-old man and a 36-year-old man. No one is stopping anyone, I'm on a mission. My goal is to make the fight with Stipe. But you're suggesting that I should neglect all the training I've been doing in the run-up to this fight and fight this "hype train" who may not be in the league in three years! I'm not going to change my plans because of anyone. Stipe is the best heavyweight to ever step into the octagon. My job is to give this guy what he wants and take his scalp to my collection. Whatever happens next, our fight will happen. Besides, I was talking about ending my career after the Stipe fight long before the UFC introduced the interim belt. And nothing would have changed if Sergey had it. I love that the Brits have convinced themselves that Jon Jones is afraid of their interim champion. It's opened up a whole new fan base for me. They all know who the real champion is."
