Alex Pereira is seemingly determined to move up.
Pereira reclaimed his light heavyweight title with a first-round finish over Magomed Ankalaev at Noche UFC this past October. “Poatan” subsequently called out Jon Jones for a heavyweight booking at the White House in 2026. Pereira also recently posted a cryptic message hinting at triple champion aspirations.
Pereira has seemingly decided to move up to heavyweight, regardless of whether the Jones matchup comes to fruition. The Brazilian is eyeing either a super fight against Jones or a title shot at heavyweight.
