UFC bantamweight champion Alex Pereira said that if he defeats Magomed Ankalaev, he is highly likely to leave the division.

"I don't even know who I should fight next in my division. So there is a high probability that we will consider a move to heavyweight or maybe try to negotiate a fight under boxing rules," MMA Mania quoted Pereira as saying.

Recall that Pereira and Ankalaev will fight in the main event of UFC 313, which will take place on the night of March 9 in Las Vegas, USA.
