Sean Strickland believes Alex Pereira needs to reset before facing Magomed Ankalaev again.
Ankalaev dethroned Pereira via unanimous decision at UFC 313 this past March. The Brazilian is expected to get an immediate chance to reclaim his light heavyweight title. Strickland believes his former opponent turned friend can beat Ankalaev in a potential rematch.
