White names Pereira's next opponent

UFC President Dana White said that the newly crowned light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira will make his first defense against Jamal Hill, who voluntarily renounced the belt in July due to a serious injury.

Let us remind you that today, November 12, at UFC 295, Pereira knocked out Jiri Prochazka and won the vacant title. After the fight, the Brazilian challenged his long-time rival Israel Adesanya.

“Israel competes in a different weight category. The fight that makes sense now is against Jamal Hill, when Jamal is ready.

Alex moved up to the light heavyweight division, but I don’t think Israel wants to do the same. I know the fans want to see these guys fight again, but I can't say anything yet. Let’s see when Adesanya returns and what he wants to do,” White was quoted as saying by MMA Junkie.
