Media Alex Pereira Says He's Fighting vs Jiri Prochazka NEXT - "Giving Up" On Moving To Heavyweight

[Black9]

Are we in for Jiri vs Alex 2?

 

[Luthien]

Pretty much Alex vs anybody is guaranteed fireworks

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

I thought Belal... I mean Ankalaev was promised the next title shot.

 

[Get To Da Choppa]

Are we in for Jiri vs Alex 2?

Too soon for a rematch, especially when there are other contenders waiting

All these quick rematches are stalling the division and holding back contenders. I remember when rematches were rare in the UFC, and actually got fans excited because there were compelling storyline and buildup behind them

 

[tank666]

Meh. That gives me a semi but not much more than that.

 

[Joinho10]

Another fight where Alex Pereira's wrestling will not get tested.. Huge disappointment. Should be Ankalaev next.

 

[Question]

Ummm like I don't mind seeing Pereira/Jiri 2, but Ankalaev is right there dude. I'd rather see the fresh matchup that has an interesting style clash.

 

[Ivancho]

excellent, fuck goddard

 

[MixMartialFarts]

Has he not heard of Ankalaev?

 

[markys00]

Ankalaev doesn't move the needle

International fight week

I do think Jiri is 1 of the best LHWs but he lost to Alex recently, there's no need for such a soon rematch. I also think a devastating KO loss to Alex will be the 1 that destroys Jiri's chin long-term. Jiri should not rush into a Alex rematch. I think Ankalaev makes sense

 

[Trabaho]

Ankalev just needs 1 win. He should book a fight get the next shot.

 

[Trabaho]

He's picking the striker over Ankalev.

 

[Roop Holstry]

Alex says he wants to get back into the cage sooner and Ankalaev won’t be ready by then. He’s not ducking anyone.

 

[RockyLockridge]

Has he not heard of Ankalaev?

Ankealev is far less impressive than Jiri against lesser competition and also isnt based like Jiri, Ankalaev says he wants to fight Poatan in Dubai, Alex doesn't want to wait that long.

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

Would have been funny if he moved up to HW and they gave him Blaydes, he’d get wrestlefucked back to LHW

 

[Domitian]

Ankalaev said he was gonna stand with Alex anyway.

 

[blaseblase]

Ank is next, I have little interest in Jiri unless he figures out how to defend his chin. There was nothing that he did in his last fight that suggests a different result.

 

[ElLunico]

What a surprise, picks another striker he already KOed lol. Makes excuses when Anks name comes up
