Pereira challenged Du Plessis.

Alex Pereira, the UFC bantamweight champion, challenged Dricus Du Plessis, the organization's middleweight champion.

"I'm focused on my next fight and I'm preparing, but you never know what can happen, so regardless of the outcome, I want to go down to middleweight one more time and fight for the title. Hey Dricus, get your will together and fight me - that way you can prove you're better than me. Make a public statement - it'll be easier to organize everything".
