Chael Sonnen claims that there is only one mixed martial artist on the planet who has the potential to become a three-weight UFC champion.
While the sport has produced an abundance of two weight holders, no one has succeeded in securing that illusive third belt.
That is why fans are on Tennerhooks while they wait patiently for someone to write history.
In the meantime, Sonnen, who recently claimed that he would destroy Jorge Masvidal in a street fight, uses his analytical brain to determine who he thinks could do this.

Chael Sonnen says why Alex Pereira is the only hunter who is able to become a three-weight UFC champion
Chael Sonnen is convinced that Alex Pereira is the only mixed martial artist in the world with the talent to reach three weight.
Although 'The American Gangster' 'Patan' thinks that this performance could achieve, there is another challenge he would like to take first.
In a video that was uploaded to his YouTube channel, the former middleweight said: “Pereira is the only man of my life that I reasonably believe could reach champion, champion. There is not enough of a story; There must still be one why. Move him up just to move him up – I don't understand the point.
“It sounds like he gets a title fight on 205 pounds. So, the best scenario when he goes to heavyweight, he has offered a title fight there.
“My belief that Pereira goes to heavyweight has been replaced that Pereira would offer a piece on the chessboard. If we couldn't have Jones vs Tom Aspinall done, what are you going to do? Are you calling Ciryl Gane and do you use it with Aspinall?
“That is why it would be useful to have Pereira with heavyweight, purely as a negotiating ship if necessary. But all my opinions have disappeared if it is only related to straight competition.
“Keep a man on his weight and let him take a man he has already failed – that is what real competitors do. Scratch and claw and fight your way back.
Chael Sonnen involves a big complaint about the way Alex Pereira trains
Although Sonen has a lot of confidence in Pereira's ability, he is not fond of everything the striker does.
There is no doubt that the resident of São Paulo is a real gifted competitor.
After all, this is a man who not only won world titles in the UFC, but also in glory kickboxing.
Nevertheless, however, Sonen has expressed a considerable concern that he has on Pereira.
