This means he's not expected to fight again in the remainder of the year.

Fails in quest to make UFC history Pereira failed in his quest for the interim UFC Heavyweight Championship on Sunday, falling to Ciryl Gane via TKO (punches) at 1:27 of Round 2 at UFC Freedom 250 in Washington DC.

Impact It didn't work out, but you have to respect the risk Pereira took. He forfeited the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship in a quest to become the first three-division king in company history. Neither man accomplished much in Round 1, although Gane more than doubled up Pereira in significant strikes, 23-11. The roof caved in on Alex in Round 2. He ran face first into a Gane jab, which dropped him. Pereira was never able to recover. He took an absolute beating the rest of the way, much of it the doing of referee Herb Dean, who was unwilling to stop the fight despite the fact Pereira was clearly toast. He eventually had no choice. Alex was asked by Joe Rogan in his post-fight interview if he plans to continue at heavyweight or move back down to 205 pounds. He said he would talk to the UFC before conferring with his team and deciding. Considering how this went, we're guessing he moves down. The only reason a move up made any sense in the first place was to try to win a belt.
