Alex Pereira warned to focus on UFC 313 title fight with Magomed Ankalaev amid lenghty trip to Australia

Ahead of his return to action at UFC 313 in just weeks time, Alex Pereira has been urged to focus up on his grudge fight with the surging Magomed Ankalaev by former champion, Daniel Cormier — who questioned why the Brazilian was still jet setting so close to his comeback.
