“It was not difficult to agree on a rematch. As soon as I came out of that fight, I already knew I would get an immediate rematch. I just had to wait for my body to recover. I had many injuries, many problems. But the fact that he is the champion only shows that he has no right to vote. In the end, what happened was exactly what I agreed with UFC and what was convenient for me. He wanted to fight in July. He wanted to fight on other dates, but that did not happen. Everything happened just as I needed and as I wanted,” said Peira to MMAJunkie.
Let us remind you that the rematch between Peira and Ankalaev will take place on October 4 at UFC 320 in Las Vegas
