#UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira says he’s focused on his #UFC307 title defense against Khalil Rountree, but regardless of what happens, he wants to head to middleweight one more time to face Dricus du Plessis for the middleweight title. Will it happen? Is it the right move?

Guys…. Dana doesnt like people getting a belt and vacating it. Dumb. Going back down would be dangerous. Fight DDP at the proper weight. He will come up. Plus Dana already said Strickland is next AND that Dricus’ next fight is south africa… so that is first quarter next year at minimum. This fight wont happen at middleweight. Dana doesnt want to risk another belt debacle like the heavyweight currently is
Yes, he's serious you 🤡
Alex isn’t gonna get the fight considering he’s not gonna defend it if he wins .. Dana ain’t wasting time
Weird how he would rather cut over 30 lbs at age 36 then go to heavyweight 😂
if khamzat pulls out, strickland should step in and fight bobby knux. that's a clear title eliminator fight
the K. Lee sportsbook isn’t lasting a week. Pereira -150 over DDP is laughable. DDP would open -250 minimum.
Guys the fight isn’t happening out of all the fights to make a video about smh
The Ally returns! Happy birthday AK!
Ducking ankalaev that’s all his doing because he knows he can’t beat a good wrestler that going to keep going for takedown
Dumb move! Alex has a glass jaw at 185… wtf n why
AK in, I’m OUT
Praying for Shavkat vs Islam for the welterweight belt in 2025 😮💨🙏🏽
205 alex smokes ddp at 185 it's very close depending if ddp wrestle early in round 1
If it's a "one-off" then it's holding up both divisions for no reason.
Why would the UFC do it?
Poatan ends him like yiri. Both are careless-defense strikers.
Bro is doing everything he & the UFC can to avoid fighting Ankalaev, the #1 contender in his div for a while now. I like his chances against Ankalaev but clearly he & the UFC don't. But sure let's pretend that's not what's happening & it's not even a point of discussion bc Alex is liked by the media & the masses.
This channel sucks now
NO CONTENT ANYMORE I GUESS
Where's the beef? Absolutely not a show to keep mma fighting on the map.
mma hour with Boston Ariel Heckwani and Canada Ric
He did this in glory
Happy birthday AK
why would dana want him to win at 185 and what stay and loose a division champ cause you can pretend to move up in weight and drop again but years at 205 will not be easy to get to 185
I’m sure Jahamal Hill is praying to the mma gods as we speak ‼️
SUPER WOKE ALEX K LEE SUCKS
