Reigning UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira said that his next opponent will be Jamahal Hill, not Magomed Ankalaev.
Guys, let's focus on what matters, which is Jamahal and then I'll focus on breaking another record in making two title defenses in the shortest possible time.
Alex Pereira
Pereira last fought against Jiri Prochazka in November 2023 at UFC 295. In that fight, Alex won by technical knockout in the second round and won the vacant light heavyweight championship belt. He has nine wins and two losses on his record.
Ankalaev last stepped into the octagon against Johnny Walker on January 14 at UFC Fight Night 234. That fight, which was stopped in the second round, ended in Magomed's favor by technical knockout. He has 18 wins, one loss and one draw.
