Booked for his Octagon return, Alex Pereira has welcomed the chance to take on current professional boxing heavyweight champion, Oleksandr Usyk in the ring — suggesting the duo could lock horns at cruiserweight in a billed super fight.
Pereira, the current undisputed light heavyweight titleholder and a former middleweight kingpin umbrella of the promotion, is slated to make his return in March, headlining UFC 313.
Booked to take on surging number one ranked light heavyweight contender, Magomed Ankalaev, Sao Paulo finisher, Pereira will put his light heavyweight crown on the line for the fourth time since last April — having wrapped up stunning knockout wins over the trio of Jamahal Hill, Jiri Prochazka, and Khalil Rountree.
