Alex
Pereira seems to have a timeline in place for his next Octagon
appearance.

While in attendance at UFC 316,
“Poatan” spoke with UFC Fight Pass Brazi reporter Evelyn
Rodrigues During the interview, he indicated that he plans to
return in the fall. The Brazilian fan favorite successfully
defended the 205-pound belt three times within a six-month span in
2024 before relinquishing the title to Magomed
Ankalaev at UFC 313
this past March.

„People are used to seeing me fighting all the time. Now I’m
resting my body a little,” Pereira said. “The next fight should be
in October. September, October or November.”

After fulfilling commitments in Germany and Japan, where he was
greeted by large crowds of fans, Pereira said that he will be
in Brazil for a few days and will take the opportunity to get back
into his training routine before returning to the United
States.

Pereira also responded to Ankalaev’s recent
claim that he is thinking about retirement.

„He has to promote himself a little by saying my name, because
nobody even knows that he is the champion and, when he says my
name, it comes up a little,” Pereira said. “I’m not responding to
his provocations because I know that it’s really to promote
himself. At the right time, I will speak up.”
