Conversely, Alex Pereira was fighting at 205-pounds less than a year prior to his UFC White House battle versus “Bon Gamin.” Though he was able to pack on size (ask O’Malley), Jones questions if “Poatan” put on too much weight while analyzing the “perfect storm” that was the Ciryl Gane knockout loss.“I felt like Pereira, he came in too big,“ Jones told Red Corner MMA. ”I think he would have been better…

Yet a 50-piece remains rare enough to grab attention — and only a handful of players have made it a real habit.These are the seven players who have done it most — a mix of unstoppable bigs, high-flying wings and pure shooters, counting down to the one name nobody will ever catch.The seven…
