Sean Strickland Confirms Fight With Dricus Du Plessis Amidst Alex Pereira Confusion
However, the match between Khamzat Chimaev and Robert Whittaker has created a significant buzz. While Chimaev is undefeated till now, Whittaker has popped back into the title picture with back-to-back wins. This might just make the Chimaev vs Whittaker match a potential number one contender fight for the title.
Unfortunately, the complications do not stop here. In a shocking turn of events, the light heavyweight champion, Alex Pereira has expressed his wishes to fight for the middleweight title. Moments after Du Plessis secured a submission victory over Adesanya, Pereira immediately called him out for a match. While initially it was assumed to be casual banter, Poatan recently made it clear that he was serious about fighting ‘Stillknocks’.
Looking at the claims made by Alex Pereira, several insiders opined that it was not a wise ask. Pereira has been accustomed to carrying a lot more weight in the light heavyweight category. If he wants to come down, Poatan will have to take up significant hazard to cut down his weight just for one match. But with the amount of digs taken at Du Plessis, Pereira seems well on course to securing a fight. It will now be in Dana White’s hands whether he approves or not.
