Pereira’s weight class decision

Alex Pereira, a two-time UFC champion, has said he would return to the middleweight division if he loses his upcoming fight against Sergei Pavlovich at UFC 335. The event will be held at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Pereira’s past in the heavyweight division

Pereira made his debut in the heavyweight division in June, where he was knocked out in the second round by Ciryl Gane. He had hoped to win the interim title during the UFC event at the White House but did not get a rematch.

Pereira’s stance on staying in the division

Despite his loss, Pereira decided to remain in the heavyweight division. He said another loss would indicate he is at a disadvantage against stronger opponents, but he still believes he is not built for the weight class and would prefer to avoid taking unnecessary hits.

Pereira’s confidence in his next fight

Pereira believes he will defeat Pavlovich and does not think he will need to return to the middleweight division for a title shot. He is preparing for the fight and is excited about the training with his team.

Pavlovich’s recent performance

Sergei Pavlovich comes into UFC 335 on a three-fight winning streak, including a quick knockout of Tallison Teixeira, who was once training with Pereira. Pereira expects Pavlovich to try to knock him out early but is ready for the challenge.
