This fight was a rematch of their March encounter, where Pereira lost the belt by decision.\n\nAfter the victory, Pereira was seen with an orthopedic boot. In a public appearance in Rio de Janeiro, Pereira confirmed the fracture in his left foot.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n\n<p>&#8220;I had an X-ray in Las Vegas and then an MRI in Brazil. It showed a fracture in my foot, but I still don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s going to happen or how long the recovery will take. I think it&#8217;s good to focus on this fight [at the White House]. Now, that&#8217;s something that interests me&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n<cite>Alex Pereira<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nAfter his victory at UFC 320, Pereira intended to challenge former heavyweight champion Jon Jones, but instead requested a moment of silence in memory of Jones&#8217; brother, Arthur Jones, who recently passed away. Pereira and Jones have expressed interest in facing each other in the past.\n\nThis week, Pereira did not reveal a date for his return nor a specific opponent. The options for his next challenge are varied, including a title defense against contenders like Ji\u0159\u00ed Proch\u00e1zka and Carlos Ulberg, or a jump to heavyweight to face the winner of this month&#8217;s title fight between Tom Aspinall and Ciryl Gane.\n\nPereira has suffered bone fractures previously and has returned in a timeframe similar to what it would take to fight in June.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alex Pereira Eyes Return at the White House Event After Fracture UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira has revealed his plans to focus on a possible fight at the White House event in June, after suffering a fracture in his left foot during his recent title fight.
