Alex Pereira Booked for Heavyweight Clash Against Sergei Pavlovich at UFC 335

The heavyweight contest is set for December 12 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. This matchup represents a significant opportunity for Pereira, who remains committed to the heavyweight division following a second-round knockout loss to Ciryl Gane at UFC Freedom 250 earlier this year.

Pereira has expressed his intent to remain at heavyweight in his pursuit of becoming a three-division champion. Following the official announcement made during a live stream, the Brazilian fighter posted a promotional video directed at Pavlovich, stating, "I'll see you soon."

Sergei Pavlovich enters the bout riding a three-fight win streak. In his most recent performance, the Russian heavyweight secured a victory over Tallison Teixeira with a knockout in 39 seconds.
