Ultimate Fighter Pereira Sees Relief Amidst Upset Concerns!
Alex Pereira is on Cloud Nine after receiving his newest UFC contract.
Alex Pereira has signed a new deal with the UFC – and he has nothing but good things to say about it. The now-former UFC light heavyweight champion, Pereira (13-2 MMA, 10-2 UFC) said he had no issues giving up the belt after the offer the promotion made him ahead of his UFC Freedom 250 bout June 14 vs. Ciryl Gane (13-2 MMA, 10-1 UFC) at the White House in Washington.
"They gave me a new contract," Pereira said through an interpreter Monday on " The Ariel Helwani Show . " "I'm actually really, really happy with my new contract. I actually want to thank Mick, Hunter, and Dana White for it.
So this new deal that they gave to me? I don't care about letting go of the belt or anything like that. ...
They took really good care of me. The way they gave me this last contract was so good that I let it up to them to do whatever they want. It doesn't matter.
