Avenging a previous loss to Magomed Ankalaev in the UFC 320 headliner would be significant, Alex Pereira won’t deny that much.
That'd be huge, really important," Pereira said at a media day in Las Vegas (video via MMAjunkie.com). "I've done everything very quickly in the UFC, more than anyone else, so I'm going to take this opportunity and really seize it.”
Pereira had emerged as one of the promotion’s biggest stars prior to facing Ankalaev at UFC 313. He captured titles at both middleweight and light heavyweight, and he defended the 205-pound belt three times within a six-month period — vanquishing each challenger in impressive fashion.
