Pereira confirmed that his next opponent will not be Ankalaev

“Guys, let’s focus on the main thing, which is Jamal, and then I’ll focus on breaking another record - making two title defenses in the shortest possible time,” Pereira wrote in X.

Let us remember that Hill became the champion in January last year, but never made a single defense. In the summer, the American was seriously injured, after which he decided not to hold up the division and voluntarily gave up his belt.
