UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Alex Pereira shocked the world after he knocked out former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jamahal Hill in the first round of their five-round championship fight.
Alex Pereira proved himself to be one of the best strikers ever to step foot inside the Octagon in UFC. Fans are now waiting to see what is next for Poatan Alex Pereira and who he will face next after defeating one of the top contenders in Light Heavyweight.
After UFC 300, UFC interim Heavyweight Champion Tom Aspinall dropped a picture looking at Alex Pereira, hinting at a potential between them in the future.
Poatan recently gave an interview with Guilherme Cruz, where he talked about his plans to move up to third-weight, heavyweight, and more.
Alex Pereira said, "If it's a longer period of time, I'd obviously rather defend my belt. If it takes too long, and I fight at heavyweight, and there are injuries, when am I going to defend my belt? I don't want to hold up the division. I'm here. I'm like a gamecock - you put another rooster in front of me, and I'm there to fight. We will fight, you know? But we have to see what's best for me, my career, and my team. I'm open to fighting whoever, but I'm not the one who decides."
