UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira is gearing up for a quick turnaround as he prepares to defend his 205-pound title against Jiří Procházka at UFC 303 on June 29. The two fighters previously squared off in an intense 2-round affair in New York City back in November 2023, with Pereira emerging victorious and claiming the then-vacant title.
Quick Turnaround and Future Plans
After his UFC 300 victory over Jamahal Hill, Alex Pereira expressed his desire to rest a little but also hinted at his plans for the rest of the year. In a recent segment on his YouTube channel, he stated, “Got to focus on this fight. I don’t know what will happen after. But I also want to rest a little.” The reigning champion has charted his course for the remainder of 2024, eyeing a potential return in November or December.
Alex Pereira says he wants to "rest a little" after his fight at #UFC303 and come back towards the end of the year in November/December.
He also says that there were talks of him fighting in August at #UFC305 in Perth before he accepted the fight at UFC 303.
