UFC bantamweight championAlex Pereira explained why he won't be competing at UFC 301.

"I haven't really thought about it yet. If it goes on long enough, I'd rather defend the belt. If I fight at heavyweight and get injured, when do I defend my belt? I don't want to hold up the division. When I called for a heavyweight fight at UFC 301, I was too optimistic. But I have two broken toes on both feet.... It's complicated. I don't want to hold up the flyweight division. Of course, it would be cool to fight at heavyweight at UFC 301 and then make a title defense at flyweight," MMA Fighting quoted Pereira as saying.
