UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira says he will be rematching Jiri Prochazka next time out.
Pereira is coming off his first title defense of his light heavyweight title as he knocked out Jamahal Hill in the first round at UFC 300. After the win, Magomed Ankalaev called out Alex Pereira and many assumed that would be the next fight.
However, speaking at a media scrum at UFC 301, Alex Pereira revealed it will be Prochakza who will be next for him.
“Breaking news,” Pereira said through an interpreter during a UFC 301 media scrum (h/t MMA Fighting).
