It is being reported by BoxingNews.com that Alex Pereira’s lifestyle is beginning to catch up with him following loss to Magomed Ankalaev.
There are questions still as to whether or not he is too distracted outside of the octagon.
Pereira’s defeat to Ankalaev was his first as a light heavyweight. The loss ended Pereira’s five-fight win streak.
With the defeat in UFC 313, this puts Pereira at a disadvantage when it comes to possibly facing heavyweight champion Jon ‘Bones’ Jones.
There was discussion about Pereira moving up to heavyweight but those were scrapped after the loss.
