Alex Pereira says a fight announcement is coming soon, posting "Tomorrow" on social media after weeks of hints about his return to the Octagon.
Pereira's push for an immediate rematch with Ciryl Gane, whom he accused of landing illegal shots to the back of the head in their fight at UFC White House, went nowhere — Gane instead defends the undisputed heavyweight title against Josh Hokit at UFC 334.
With that door closed, Pereira remains focused on heavyweight gold, and names like Sergei Pavlovich and Alexander Volkov stand out as logical next opponents given their rankings and stronger cases for a title shot than the one Hokit received.
