Alex Pereira has expressed a desire to try his hand at boxing on a few occasions recently, but Dana White’s release should be the main obstacle. The Brazilian has been the main star in the category in recent years, proving to be dominant and seeing even fighters like Jon Jones challenge him.
Since the end of 2021 in the UFC, Alex Poatan has already had nine fights in the organization, with only one negative result and two belts accumulated in the period, the middleweight and light heavyweight. In addition, he commanded several cards accepting last-minute fights, such as event 303, which he had only two weeks to prepare, ending in a brutal knockout over Jiri Prochazka.
