UFC fighter Alex Pereira has ruled out a potential move to boxing, stating he has seven fights left in his UFC contract. Pereira, 39, is set to return to the Octagon during UFC 335 on December 12 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, where he will face Sergei Pavlovich in a heavyweight fight expected to determine the next title challenger. Pereira expressed his views through his trainer and interpreter, Plinio Cruz, stating, "No, it's going very well like this," regarding a potential move to boxing. He noted that with seven fights left in his UFC contract, transitioning to boxing would be "practically impossible" at his age. This decision comes as many mixed martial arts (MMA) fighters have considered moving to boxing, but Pereira does not appear interested, partly due to his long-term commitment to the UFC. The idea of MMA fighters moving to boxing gained attention after Conor McGregor faced Floyd Mayweather Jr. in a high-profile boxing match ten years ago. This event inspired several MMA stars to consider boxing, leading to the creation of "Zuffa Boxing" within the UFC. However, for now, Pereira seems satisfied with continuing his MMA career, providing UFC president Dana White with confidence in his future. In contrast to Pereira, former opponent Sean Strickland has expressed willingness to face Jake Paul in boxing due to dissatisfaction with UFC compensation. While some fighters are exploring new opportunities outside the UFC, Pereira remains focused on his current commitments and the path ahead in MMA.
