"I'm focused on my next fight and I'm going prepared but you never know what can happen, so regardless of the result I want to go down one more time to the middleweight and go for the belt," Pereira wrote on Instagram. His determination to shift divisions underscores his ambition to reclaim the middleweight championship, which remains a crucial point in his career trajectory after his light heavyweight defenses.
"You are so weak [Alex Pereira], you only pick on the guys who are in lower division than you and you think you can beat them. People are not stupid. There is a reason why you are fighting Khalil and not me," Magomed Ankalaev criticized Pereira's decision to move down to middleweight. This statement reflects Ankalaev's view on the competitive landscape of the UFC and his ambition to claim a shot at the title.
