“Hi folks, like I promised I will announce to you big news on my channel.
My next fight will be at 205. Yeah, you heard right. I think I did my work at 185 and now I’m feeling good to go up to 205. This will be natural.
My next opponent I can’t tell you yet but I will keep you updated.
But I want to make one thing clear. This division, 185, I always made weight. A lot of people had doubts but I always fulfilled my obligation. But now is the moment top go up to the next division, this will be better for me.
I think all of you will be happy with this news. I hope you will support me because your support means a lot to me.
All of you saw the provocation from Adesanya after the fight. He acts as if he has won against me three times.
But its not like this…
I try to understand the happiness he has. It was his dream to win one time against me, and now he did.
It seems like he is thinking ‘oh this guy can never make weight again, I can provocate him because he wont do anything’. So we will see how Adesanya will behave now.
I make this very clear to you…
I’m not going up because I cant make weight anymore. I will always be able to make 185. I’m going up because it is a good option for me.
If I would stay in this division I can fight against him directly. I’m sure if I insist to fight him immediately the UFC and my promoters will make it happen.” – Alex ‘Poatan’ Pereira
