PERTH, Australia – Dricus Du Plessis has a counterproposal for Alex Pereira after he claimed he will return to middleweight following UFC 305 . Du Plessis (22-2 MMA, 8-0 UFC) registered his first middleweight title defense Saturday when he submitted Israel Adesanya in the fourth round at RAC Arena. Shortly after his hand was raised, former divisional kingpin and current light heavyweight champ Pereira (11-2 MMA, 8-1 UFC) sent a clear message that he will return to his former weight class.
