Alex Pereira Considers Return to Light Heavyweight After Potential Loss
Alex Pereira has indicated that he would drop back to the light heavyweight division if his heavyweight journey ends with a defeat against Sergei Pavlovich at UFC 335.
The former champion at 205 pounds is seeking to become the first fighter in UFC history to hold titles in three different weight classes. Pereira noted that he would not remain in the heavyweight division if he loses, citing the physical challenges of competing against larger opponents.
He anticipates that Pavlovich will apply pressure during their fight, potentially overwhelming him early or switching to wrestling tactics if needed. Pereira's training camp has prepared for both possibilities. A victory would bring him closer to making UFC history, while a loss would lead him back to the division he previously dominated.
