SHOCKING! Alex Pereira BREAKS HIS SILENCE and REVEALS His NEXT FIGHT After the UFC 313 LOSS
Alex Pereira has hinted at his future plans following a disappointing result at UFC 313 this past weekend.
The former middleweight champion saw his reign and undefeated streak at 205 pounds come to an end at Saturday’s pay-per-view event at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
After a dominant 2024, in which he defeated Jamahal Hill, Jiří Procházka, and Khalil Rountree Jr. to successfully defend his title three times, “Poatan” faced the challenge of Magomed Ankalaev.
Ultimately, the Brazilian was unable to overcome the Dagestani fighter, who imposed his versatile style in a five-round bout that left much to be desired on March 8.
Although fans are not exactly clamoring for a rematch after what transpired at UFC 313, Pereira hinted in a video posted on his social media that a second fight is the most likely outcome.
“I will make some adjustments for the rematch and come back much better, you can count on that,” Alex Pereira declared. “Never give up on your dreams. Chama!”
That same stance seems to be shared by the UFC leadership, as the organization’s CEO, Dana White, confirmed in his post-event press conference that a second fight between Magomed Ankalaev and Alex Pereira is “probably” what’s next.
