UFC light heavyweight champion Brazilian Alex Pereira expressed his desire to fight under the rules of professional boxing.
Alex Pereira said through a Portugu🐼ese translator to Es💜sentially Sports:
Absolutely I want to express my will to go boxing one day. I think that this partnership of the UFC and boxing is a very good thing going for the sport. Many boxers say that MMA fighters cannot go toe-to-toe with boxing. Alex believe that not only him but many other [MMA] fighters could do that too.
We will remind, on October 5 in Salt Lake City at UF🐈C 307 Pereira will fight against Khalil Rountree🤡.
Pereira last entered the octagon in June 2024 at UFC 303, defe🗹ating Jiri Prohazka by technical knockout in the second round🦋. He has 11 wins and two losses on his record.
