Pereira will certainly have to be cool, calm and collected if he wants to keep his light heavyweight championship at UFC 313 when he compiles #1 ranked competition and old rival, Magomed Ankalaev.
The couple has been involved in a bitter words war for over a year, where the Russian recently goes to social media to hit Pereira as a 'fake modest boy' and 'Tiktok Chick'.
UFC 313: Pereira vs Ankalaev will go live from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday 8 March, which will be his fourth light heavyweight title defense.
Alex Pereira called to Super-Fight from Crossover by Oleksandr Usyk
If Pereira rises his hand on UFC 313, there will probably be a call to go up again to be confronted with interim -heavy weight champion Tom Aspinall, or undisputed champion Jon Jones.
However, the door also remains open for various cross-promotion and cross-sport super-fights, including a boxing match with a big money against the Ukrainian hero Oleksandr Usyk.
Usyk defeated Tyson Fury for the second time in December and recently told TNT Sports Boxing that his next fight against the winner of Joseph Parker vs Daniel Dubois will be – planned for February 22.
“First, it's who wins the next fight on February 22 … then, maybe a show fight with Alex Pereira. Maybe. Why not? Alex wants that [fight]. “
Pereira has also called for a confrontation with UsyK, where coach Plinio Cruz translates for the light heavyweight champion on the Jaxxon podcast.
'[Boxing] Is something he really wants. But you know, he is a contract with the UFC – we know that McGregor did it … He is the champion, so he would like to fight a champion. So oleksandr usyk … he feels that he can do really well. “
