UFC Champion Teases Surprise Fight At UFC 312
In a shocking move, UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira has left fans wondering about his potential next fight. The fighter posted a cryptic video and message on social media, sparking speculation and excitement among fans.
According to the report, Pereira may be returning at UFC 312 to face an as-yet-announced opponent. However, there is also a possibility that he could be cornering Sean Strickland in his attempt to regain the UFC middleweight championship against Dricus du Plessis.
While these two options seem straightforward, fans are left questioning whether Pereira may be taking on a different challenge altogether. One possibility is that he could move up to heavyweight to face Tom Aspinall for the interim heavyweight title, with the winner going on to fight Jon Jones later in the year. Although this seems unlikely, another theory is gaining traction.
Pereira has been involved in a long-standing feud with social media influencer and boxer Jake Paul. Could it be possible that Pereira is gearing up for a boxing match against Paul? The UFC president Dana White has hinted at an “unseen” announcement, which could potentially revolve around this fight.
If the rumors are true and Pereira does take on Ankalaev, then the outcome would have significant implications for his future. In the event that he wins, it’s possible that he’ll move up to heavyweight for his next fight. The idea of him abandoning light heavyweight altogether raises questions about whether we could see him compete in this division again.
On the other hand, if Pereira is indeed set to face Paul, it would create a massive event unlike anything seen before in combat sports history.
