UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira expects to run things back with Jiri Prochazka next. Pereira (10-2 MMA, 7-1 UFC) notched his first title defense when he knocked out Jamahal Hill in the UFC 300 headliner . On the same night, Prochazka finished Aleksandar Rakic , rebounding from his title loss to Pereira at UFC 295 . Top contender Magomed Ankalaev (19-1-1 MMA, 10-1-1 UFC), who’s coming off a knockout of Johnny Walker in January , is campaigning for a title shot. However, it appears he won’t be getting his wish.
