Alex Pereira wants to be a simultaneous two-division UFC champion by taking down middleweight titleholder Dricus du Plessis.
“Poatan” won the 185-pound title in November of 2022 but lost it in a rematch to Israel Adesanya before moving up a division and making his way to the 205-pound gold. Pereira is slated to defend his throne next against Khalil Rountree, but reaffirms his intention to cut extra 20 pounds again after his UFC 307 clash on Oct.
