Jiri Prochazka, the former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, is unwavering in his belief that he will eventually exact revenge on Alex Pereira. His confidence remains high despite their previous encounters.
Prochazka expressed profound conviction in his ability to overcome Pereira in a potential third bout. “Maybe you still don’t believe me,” he stated, “but I believe that I can find a way to defeat Pereira in the third fight.” Addressing Pereira`s possible transition to the heavyweight division, Prochazka made it clear he would follow him if necessary, asserting, “our story is not over yet.” Despite his willingness to pursue Pereira across weight classes, Prochazka reiterated his commitment to the light heavyweight division, adding, “I still believe that the light heavyweight division is my weight. Although if he moves to heavyweight, I would like to fight for the title in the up to 93 kg category.” This statement implies his desire to capture the vacant light heavyweight title should Pereira move up permanently.
It is worth noting that Alex Pereira currently holds a dominant 2-0 lead in their professional rivalry, setting the stage for a highly anticipated rubber match should it materialize.
