Du Plessis wants to fight Pereira.

Alexandr Ormanji Nov. 8, 2024, 8:36 a.m.

UFC middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis has stated his desire to fight the organization's bantamweight champion Alex Pereira.

"I really want this fight because I've always stated a desire to leave a legacy behind me. I want to be talked about as one of the greatest fighters after my career is over. And for that to happen, you have to accomplish things like that. Now a win over Hamzat Chimaev will bring me closer to that goal. I think that three successful defenses of my title will be enough for me to make my light heavyweight debut with a fight with Pereira for the belt," said Dricus on his social network X page.
