Alex Pereira, one of the UFC’s most decorated fighters, wants to separate himself from the rest with a fight that will be remembered.
The Brazilian is in his second reign at light-heavyweight and has held the middleweight title in the promotion. As his career comes to an end, he wants to make history one final time by moving up from light-heavyweight.
Pereira would be interested in two major fights should he decide to make the weight class change. Pereira’s first choice is a superfight with legendary 2-weight champion Jon Jones. His second option is to fight for his title. This would currently mean facing Tom Aspinall.
