Alex Pereira is making his return to the heavyweight division, and he’s set to face off against Sergei Pavlovich in a five-round co-main event at UFC 335. The fight, scheduled for December 12th at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, was announced during UFC 332. Pereira, who previously conquered both light heavyweight and middleweight, moved up to heavyweight but fell short in his bid to become a three-division champion after a knockout loss to Ciryl Gane. Despite the setback, he’s sticking with heavyweight, and a win could put him back in line for a title shot. Meanwhile, Pavlovich is looking to bounce back after a couple of losses, including an interim title fight defeat. He’s on a three-fight winning streak and sees this as his biggest opportunity yet against a star like Pereira. UFC 335 is expected to add more fights soon.
