Alex Pereira

UFC Middleweight Champion Alex Pereira told when and against whom he wanted to hold the first defense of the belt.

“I want to come back in April or May. I will be ready for these dates. Right now there are no options. But I know it will probably be a rematch with Israel Adesanya. But it could also be a fight with Robert Whittaker, ”ESPN quotes Pereira.

Recall that Pereira won the title in November last year, knocking out Israel Adesanya in the fifth round.
