Pereira assessed the chances of holding a fight with Ankalaev in May

On April 13 in the main event of UFC 300 in Las Vegas, USA, the Brazilian will make a title defense against Jamal Hill. After that, "Poatan" plans to return to the octagon three weeks later on May 4 at the UFC 301 show in Rio de Janeiro.

"I will fight at UFC 301, but it's a question for the organization - who will be my opponent. Of course, it's difficult for any fighter to accept a fight three weeks before the tournament. I might have to postpone my next fight for two or three months. But I would like to step into the cage in May," Pereira told Shak MMA.
