Dana White Addresses Alex Pereira’s Potential Heavyweight Move: “It’s a Big Jump”

White revealed, “They were telling me, ‘We want to fight at heavyweight.’ I said, ‘How about we win tonight first?’” Pereira now KO’ed Ankalaev in round 1 to reclaim his belt. UFC boss added, “He’s in a division with still interesting fights. Unless he wants to retire, why throw him at heavyweight?” Meanwhile, Pereira injured his foot in the fight and will take time to return.
