I think if the UFC was a league that allows everybody to fight anywhere, I don&#8217;t think he&#8217;d be saying that.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"13:1-13:249\">While a boxing match with Paul may be off the table for now, it\u2019s possible that the two could face off in the future if Pereira\u2019s UFC contract expires. For now, however, Pereira is content to continue his reign as the UFC light heavyweight champion.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"et\" dir=\"ltr\">Alex Pereira speaks on Jake Paul \ud83e\udd4a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/HelwaniShow?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#HelwaniShow<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/mIL56pv5qw\">pic.twitter.com\/mIL56pv5qw<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Ariel Helwani (@arielhelwani) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/arielhelwani\/status\/1847013766925635680?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 17, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2 data-sourcepos=\"13:1-13:249\">Alex Pereira Discusses Possible Next Fight Date<\/h2>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"19:1-19:221\">Pereira\u2019s recent performances have cemented his status as one of the most dominant fighters in the UFC. His three consecutive knockout victories over top-ranked contenders have earned him widespread praise and admiration.<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"21:1-21:246\">Despite suffering from a variety of injuries leading up to his fight against Rountree, he was able to overcome adversity and deliver a stunning performance.<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"21:1-21:246\">Pereira outlined when we could expect to see him <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/alex-pereira-next-fight\/\">fight next<\/a>, speaking on the <em>Ariel Helwani Show:<\/em>\u00a0&#8220;Ideally, I will fight around June (2025).
