Pereira has made it clear that he plans to drop back down to 185 pounds. He’s itching for a chance to claim du Plessis’s title. But du Plessis isn’t rolling out the red carpet for Pereira, which is far from it. The South African champion had some choice words for Pereira’s bold ambitions.
“@AlexPereiraUFC you and you boyfriend @SStricklandMMA can have a domestic dispute on who gets slept first,” wrote Du Plessis via X.
Alex Pereira has been making waves at light heavyweight after a dramatic shift from middleweight. He grabbed the 205-pound title and defended it two times. But now, he’s eyeing a return to middleweight, aiming for the belt that Dricus du Plessis currently holds.
The back-and-forth between these two fighters brings extra spice to an already exciting division. Pereira’s intentions are clear, but du Plessis’s challenge adds a layer of complexity. Plus, Pereira’s friend Sean Strickland is up for the next shot. Whether Pereira will back off from his desire to face Du Plessis or Strickland will lay on the heat to get the shot remains to be seen.
