Alex Pereira says he is focused on Magomed Ankalaev despite heavyweight talks

Alex Pereira said that he remains focused solely on Magomed Ankalaev despite the talks of a potential move up to heavyweight.

UFC CEO Dana White recently mentioned that Pereira could possibly move up to challenge the winner of the eventual Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall fight, which could give him an opportunity to make history.

During the UFC 313 pre-fight press conference, 'Poatan' mentioned that there are plenty of exciting options, but is focused on his bout against Ankalaev:

"My plan is to defend my [light heavyweight title]. I know that there has been a lot of talk about me going up maybe to heavyweight. There's so many plans, there's a lot of options, but listen, I'm focused and I'm prepared."
