Alex Pereira decides that he will not return down to middleweight after successful light-heavyweight move.
This weekend, Pereira has the opportunity to win his second UFC title after just two years with the promotion. After dropping his 185lb title to Israel Adesanya at UFC 287, Pereira decided it was finally time to move up – defeating Jan Blachowicz in his divisional debut just a few months following.
With the win, Pereira earned a shot at the vacant 205lb title and will be taking on Jiri Prochazka in the main event of UFC 295.
