Alex Pereira Calls Out Ciryl Gane for Heavyweight Rematch and Claims Fight Is ‘Going to Happen’

Alex Pereira says he wants another shot at Ciryl Gane after a second-round TKO loss that drew complaints over back-of-the-head strikes.

  • UFC superstar Alex Pereira posted a video Monday calling for a rematch against interim heavyweight champion Ciryl Gane, expressing his desire to secure his third belt.
  • Gane defeated Pereira via second-round TKO at UFC Freedom 250 in June to capture the interim heavyweight title, leaving Pereira seeking another opportunity.
  • During their previous bout, Pereira expressed frustration with referee Herb Dean, citing illegal strikes Gane landed to the back of his head.
  • Although Gane holds the interim belt, a unification bout against heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall remains delayed; Aspinall is sidelined by an eye injury from UFC 321.
  • Pereira remains focused on capturing a third belt, stating he is actively working toward securing the rematch and believes the opportunity will showcase his capabilities.
