Du Plessis wants to fight Pereira.

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.
