Gets title shot at heavyweight Pereira will take on Cyril Gane for the Interim Heavyweight Championship at the UFC White House card scheduled for June 14.

Impact When we last saw Pereira, he was getting his belt back with a first-round finish over Magomed Ankalaev back in October. He's been sidelined since due to a foot fracture, but with eighth months of recovery time before this historic card, he should be at or near full strength when the cage doors close. When they do, Pereira will be in search of the elusive, active double-champ status. One might think Pereira would be giving up a size advantage at heavyweight, but he's always endured massive weight cuts at middleweight and light heavyweight, so when it's all said and done, he'll be giving up just two inches in reach to Gane, with both men standing at 6-foot-4. Both fighters land more than five significant strikes per minute in the UFC, and neither offers much in terms of wrestling, so look for this to be a stand-up affair as long as it lasts. Gane opened up as the betting favorite offshore, but the line quickly flipped in Pereira's favor, and he sits as a favorite of approximately of approximately (-140) with the fight three months away.
