Former UFC -light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira received an encouragement from a surprising source after UFC 313.
Alex Pereira's light heavyweight title Reign ended dramatically at UFC 313, thanks to Magomed Ankalaev. Ankalaev has dethroned Pereira by a unanimous decision in the UFC 313 Headliner, led by striking and repeated Takedown threats, which forced Pereira on his rear foot.
It was a stunning end of one of the most unprecedented title rules of the UFC. Pereira, who has entered UFC 313 undefeated in its light heavyweight MMA official period, could possibly get an immediate rematch after the loss for Ankalaev.
While the UFC Light Heavyweight Division embraces its new title holder, Pereira is still suffering from the jaws of the defeat while he thinks his comeback. But the UFC Superstar takes up the loss while it turns out to be the adjustments that he intends to make for the Ankalaev -Rematch.

Jamahal Hill shows respect for the paternity of Alex Pereira after UFC 313
While the construction of Pereira and the Headliner of Ankalaev was sometimes heated, none of Pereira's earlier opponents stuck a nerve with the former title holder such as Jamahal Hill. After Pereira Hill had switched off on UFC 300, the tensions did not cool down, as is apparent from a recent fight between the two former title holders of the UFC PI.
Although things remain in public testy between Hill and Pereira, there is some mutual respect between the two parties, as Hill recently demonstrated on social media.
In a recent Instagram remark, Hill responded to the Pereira clip and his sons who left the Octagon after UFC 313.
“The example that Pereira has given for his children is greater than every title or fight he has ever won,” Hill posted. “Respect.”
Hill grabbed Pereira in the run -up to UFC 313 and Koos Koos to deduct his former rival. But despite their early bad blood, Hill was able to credit Pereira for his impact outside the cage.
Hill has the chance to earn a Pereira rematch by Khalil Rountree Jr. later this year. to beat UFC Kansas City. Hill returns to the cage for the first time since he fell to Jiří Procházka on UFC 311 in January.
Former UFC champion scolded Alex Pereira for 'Lazy Performance' on UFC 313
UFC Hall of Famer Michael Bisping asked Pereira's hunger and desire after viewing his performance at UFC 313. Bisping called Pereiras with a 'lazy version' and that the now-shaped title holder could not pull the trigger against the pressure of Ankalaev.
Pereira has not made any apologies for the loss, despite the fact that he initially questions Ankalaev's conflict in his interview after the fight with Joe Rogan.
Former UFC champion Aljamain Sterling had a different view of Pereira's performance, in which he questioned the rigorous schedule of the light heavyweight and fast Ommkeers between fighting. Daniel Cormier expressed his concern about Pereira for UFC 313 after busy journeys only a few weeks prior to the event.
The shocking loss of Pereira has led many theories about what went wrong on UFC 313. But after the historical rise of the superstar, it is not yet wise to count the former champion.
