Alex Pereira has once again made it clear that he wants to face UFC champion Dricus Du Plessis. After Du Plessis successfully defended his middleweight title against Israel Adesanya at UFC 305, Pereira issued a challenge to him. Du Plessis, on the other hand, is open to facing Pereira only if it is for his light heavyweight title. Pereira, however, is determined to drop back down to 185 pounds in order for the fight to take place.
Following Pereira’s callout, Du Plessis wasted no time in responding. He took to social media to mock Pereira and even brought Sean Strickland into the mix. The exchange between the two champions has only added fuel to the fire, setting the stage for a potentially explosive showdown in the octagon.

This move proved to be successful as he quickly rose through the ranks and secured the light heavyweight title. Pereira has since defended his belt twice, with impressive knockouts of Jamahal Hill and Jiri Prochazka. His upcoming fight against Khalil Rountree in the main event of UFC 307 promises to be another exciting chapter in his career.
