UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira may have just dashed the hopes of those who wanted to see him compete at UFC 310.
As we know, Alex Pereira has had a pretty incredible year up to this point. He has managed to go 3-0 in the division, successfully defending his belt on three occasions. At this point, many consider him to be one of the best fighters on the planet – and rightfully so.
The expectation is that he will defend against Magomed Ankalaev next. In fact, after Belal Muhammad was forced to pull out of UFC 310, rumors were circulating that the promotion was considering doing Pereira vs Ankalaev on short notice.
