The Alex Pereira camp for its latest UFC Light Heavyweight Title Defense cannot be called typical.
'Patan' will be confronted with Magomed Ankalaev in the main event of UFC 313 in the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on 8 March.

Alex Pereira Spars Diego Lopes in new training images
Pereira is perhaps far from home, but he ensures that he trains at best during his time.
The Brazilian Ko artist recently shocked fans by stepping on a scale to reveal his current weight.
On 235 pounds he still has some work to do to make the light heavyweight limit of the UFC next month.

Alex Pereira's UFC 312 decision questioned by MMA Legends
Former UFC Middleweight Champion Michael Bisping recently commented on whether the role of Pereira on UFC 312 could negatively influence his upcoming fight.
Colleague UFC Hall by Famer Daniel Cormier had also expressed concern that Pereira's travel plans could considerably disrupt his preparations.
“DC thinks it's a bad idea. I have a theory about why he says that, “said Bisping on his YouTube channel.
“For Alex Pereira, the reality is flying a few weeks before his title fight to the other side of the world against Magomed Ankalaev, many people think it is the most difficult matchup for him at 205 that too.
Daniel Cormier said that as soon as you go to Australia, you are dealing with jetlag, other food. The training regime will not be the same, and the rest of it. These are all valid points, and by the way, all the time that Pereira does that, Magomed Ankalaev works on his A -.
“Because if Pereira hits him, he himself becomes a legend, and every time he stands there with Sean Strickland and does all things like that, Pereira does not promote his play, he does not defend Takedowns and the rest of it. So what's going on? “
