Appearing to take another dig at long-standing rival, former two-time middleweight titleholder, Israel Adesanya amid the former’s claim of corruption during his boxing career – fellow former division champion, Alex Pereira has claimed maybe he would pursue a 2027 return akin to Adesanya, inside the squared circle.
Pereira, a former undisputed middleweight champion under the banner of the UFC, is slated to return to the Octagon in the main event of UFC 295 next month at Madison Square Garden, taking on former light heavyweight champion, Jiri Prochazka in a massive vacant title fight in ‘The Big Apple’.
Sidelined since he co-headlined UFC 291 back in July, Alex Pereira landed a return to the winner’s enclosure with a title-eliminator win over former champion and common-foe to Adesanya, Jan Blachowicz, in a close split decision win.
As for Adesanya, the City Kickboxing staple has yet to return to the Octagon since he dropped his middleweight crown for the second time in the space of a year back in September, suffering a shock upset decision loss to common-opponent, Sean Strickland.
