Former UFC light heavyweight contender Anthony Smith declared a desire to "greet" Alexa Pereiro in your division.

Recall that on April 8 at UFC 287, Pereira lost to Adesanya by knockout in rematch and lost his middleweight belt. Later, the Brazilian announced a change in weight category.

“Yes, I would like to fight against Pereira. I'm a big Alexa fan, a big fan of kickboxing, so I knew who Alexa Pereira was before he moved into mixed martial arts. I think he's going to have the same problems at light heavyweight that he had at middleweight.

I have great respect for Israel Adesanya, I don’t want to belittle the merits of this guy. But if Izzy brought you to the ground and controlled, then guys like Rakic, Ankalaev, Blachowicz and I will create even more serious problems for you, ”Smith said at the UFC on ABC 4 media day.
