Alex Pereira Plans Weight Cut for UFC 335 Rematch

Alex Pereira is set to enter the octagon approximately 10 pounds lighter for his rematch in the heavyweight division at UFC 335. He plans to weigh around 240 pounds when he faces Sergei Pavlovich in the co-main event scheduled for April.

This weight reduction follows Pereira's previous performance at UFC Freedom 250, where he suffered a TKO loss to Ciryl Gane. Pereira indicated that the decision to cut weight is influenced by Pavlovich's knockout power and his desire to remain competitive.

Pereira has considered returning to the light heavyweight division but is focused on achieving success in the heavyweight category first. The upcoming fight could lead to a title shot for the winner, with the outcome of the Gane versus Josh Hokit match also playing a role in future title opportunities.
