Alex Pereira Plans Heavyweight Return in November

Alex Pereira is set to return to the heavyweight division in November. The former light heavyweight and middleweight champion aims to bounce back from his loss to Ciryl Gane.

Pereira made his heavyweight debut at UFC Freedom 250, where he fought Gane for the interim heavyweight championship. Gane stopped Pereira via second-round TKO.

The loss was controversial, with referee Herb Dean facing criticism for not penalizing Gane for multiple illegal strikes to the back of Pereira's head. Pereira called for Dean to be punished after the fight.

Pereira is eager to get back in the ring and prove himself at heavyweight. He's open to fighting any opponent that will give him a chance at redemption. With the UFC's November schedule often featuring a stop at Madison Square Garden, Pereira may get his wish, as he's undefeated at the venue with a 3-0 record.

Pereira has a strong record at Madison Square Garden, with knockout wins over Andreas Michailidis, Israel Adesanya, and Jiri Prochazka. He'll look to add to that record in November.

The UFC has not announced its live event schedule past September 5, but Pereira is confident that he'll be fighting in November. He's determined to make a statement in the heavyweight division and prove that he belongs among the best.

Pereira's return to the heavyweight division will be closely watched, as he looks to bounce back from his loss to Gane. With his impressive record at Madison Square Garden, he'll be a formidable opponent for anyone he faces in November.

The exact date and opponent for Pereira's next fight have not been announced, but he's expected to make a big impact in the heavyweight division. Pereira's fans will be eagerly awaiting his return to the ring, as he looks to prove himself as a top contender in the UFC.
