Alex Pereira, the UFC bantamweight champion, said he is ready to compete in the heavyweight division as soon as the promotion's next tournament.

"I didn't have any injuries. I want to fight in Brazil. I know there's not much time left, but we'll see what happens...I know the promotion needs a title fight, but I don't care about that, just let me have a heavyweight fight (at UFC 301)," the Brazilian fighter said.
