And linked with a stunning comeback at UFC 300 in April atop the promotion’s monumental flagship event, Alex Pereira has taken to social media today, adding fuel to the proverbial fire with a single-word post on Instagram – writing “back” – accompanied by a picture of him inside the Octagon following his November title success.
As far as potential opponents for the Brazilian are concerned, the GLORY Kickboxing Hall of Fame inductee has been linked with a stunning heavyweight divisional leap in search of a third championship, in the form of an interim title fight with Tom Aspinall.
Furthermore, Pereira has also been the subject of speculation linking him with a UFC 300 light heavyweight title defense in a trilogy rubber match with two-time MMA foe, Israel Adesanya.
Weighing up a potential heavyweight move in the future, Pereira claimed that while the prospect of a third championship run at the weight class is one that speaks to him, a climb as soon as April against Aspinall could likely come too soon for him.
