Jon Anik predicts Alex Pereira might fare his chances at middleweight once more

Alex Pereira is scheduled to lock horns with Magomed Ankalaev for his fourth title defense encounter on March 8 in the main event of UFC 313. The UFC play-by-play commentator, Jon Anik, recently delved into the potential outcomes of Pereira's upcoming encounter, along with an interesting inference about his future.

In a recent interview with MMAFighting on SBN, Anik mentioned that there are possibilities of Pereira fighting at middleweight once more. He also gave a reason for the same, saying:

"Alex Pereira can still make middleweight, and he wants to fight Dricus du Plessis. He did not defend the UFC middleweight championship. Of all the accolades for the future UFC Hall of Famer Alex Pereira. He never defended the middleweight championship. And if you think for a second that he doesn't have an appetite—no pun intended—to go back down to 185, you're absolutely crazy."
