'He’s F****** Nasty,' Dana White Heaps Praise on Alex Pereira for Teasing Middleweight Return

Dana White Reacts to Dricus Du Plessis, Alex Pereira Beef

At Tuesday night's DWCS Week 4 post-fight presser, White quickly expressed his thoughts on the exchanges despite not having seen the posts directly.

“My take on him is, he’s f*cking nasty,” White told reporters. "That’s my take on him. He wants to move up. He wants to move down. He wants to go everywhere. That’s why people love him. Those are the type of fighters people love. Pereira wants to fight everybody. I love it."

White added Pereira is one of those fighters that the UFC can easily rely on because he will always say yes to opportunities.

"The thing that’s great about it is, this is why I said a minute ago everybody loves him and he’s great. But it also gives us a ton of options that as we’re in matchmaking, ‘Should we do this, should we do that? Shouldn’t we do this, shouldn’t we do that?’ It’s a good problem to have with a guy like him. How about he’s on vacation and accepts the last-minute fight? Everything about Alex Pereira is what makes fans absolutely love the guy.”

Pereira is on a four-fight winning streak since losing to Adesanya in April of last year, which includes wins against Jiří Procházka (x2) and Jamahal Hill. Perera made the jump to light heavyweight last summer and has not looked back.

Only time will tell what Pereira's next steps are after his fight with Rountree, but one thing is for certain: his legacy is still being written.
