Amid links to a huge heavyweight leap in the pursuit of a historic third championship reign in the UFC, former two-weight champion, Alex Pereira has been urged to consider a prolonged stay at 205lbs, by Jorge Masvidal who claims only “uncomfortable” fights await the Brazilian.
Headlining UFC 303 last weekend in Las Vegas, former middleweight champion, Pereira defended his light heavyweight crown successfully for the second time, dispatching the returning former champion, Jiri Prochazka.
Handing the Czech Republic finisher his second knockout defeat since November of last year, Pereira felled the fan-favorite with a thunderous high-kick finish, successfully defending his throne.
