Alex Pereira's unanimous decision loss to Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 313 has severely restricted his future fight options.

Du Plessis, now the reigning middleweight champion, also seemed disinterested in facing Pereira, stating that the allure has faded since Pereira's defeat. Pereira is now focused on a rematch with Ankalaev but may face challenges in re-establishing his previous hype.
