UFC CEO, Dana White has claimed an immediate title rematch between Alex Pereira and the newly-minted light heavyweight champion, Magomed Ankalaev is “probably” next for the duo, following their controversial main event fight tonight in Las Vegas.
In search of his fourth successful title defense tonight since just April of last year, Brazilian star, Pereira saw his dominant title reign come to a screeching halt.
Dropping a contentious unanimous decision (48-47, 48-47, 49-46) loss to the surging Russian challenger, Pereira questioned the judging call made against him and called into question the damage the contender dealt out toward him.
