Alex Pereira's UFC 320 victory came with a price. The light heavyweight champion revealed he suffered a foot injury during his knockout win over Magomed Ankalaev, which could delay his next fight. Pereira's focus is now on the UFC White House event, tentatively scheduled for June 14, where he could face legends like Jon Jones or move up to heavyweight. Pereira's injury history is well-known, with rumors of a virus and broken hand in his previous fight against Ankalaev. Ankalaev's team counters with news of a broken rib before the rematch, but Pereira denies any prior knowledge of Ankalaev's injury. Pereira's strategy in the fight included targeting Ankalaev's midsection with downward elbows, a technique he enjoyed using. Pereira's post-fight comments hint at a desire to continue the fight, expressing disappointment over not being able to slap Ankalaev's face as promised.
