Alex Pereira is reacting to a callout from Khamzat Chimaev.<\/p>\n

It was Alex Pereira (6-1 MMA) vs Sean Strickland (25-4 MMA) in a middleweight bout this past weekend at UFC 276.\u00a0 It was Pereira, 34, who landed a devastating left hook putting Strickland down and out at 2:36 of the first round.<\/p>\n

Heading into UFC 276 there was speculation that if both Pereira and Adesanya won it would set up a title fight between the two former kickboxing rivals. Pereira did indeed win and ‘The Last Stylebender’ (23-1 MMA) who got in the cage with Jared Cannonier (15-6 MMA) pulled out a decision victory as well.<\/p>\n

While \u201cPoatan\u201d is indeed 2-0 against Israel Adesanya in kickboxing, Dana White and the UFC seem excited about matching the two middleweights up for a title fight in the Octagon.<\/p>\n

Following the victory, Pereira was called out on ‘Twitter<\/a>‘ by Khamzat Chimaev who tweeted:<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m want to fight with this guy (UFC) (Dana White) let\u2019s make it\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Chimaev, 28, (11-0 MMA) last fought Gilbert Burns<\/a> at UFC 273 in April of this year, where he defeated him via unanimous decision and consequently remains undefeated in the welterweight division.<\/p>\n

Speaking via a translator, Pereira spoke about Chimaev’s call-out, saying to Helen Yee, of ‘HYS<\/a>‘:<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, I\u2019m gonna keep the same line that I always do. See what\u2019s in front of me you know, what is ahead. Same with Sean Strickland\u2019s fight. People were talking about Israel\u2019s fight, and I say \u2018Look, I\u2019ve got this first.\u2019 Right now, I\u2019m gonna take care of my fight with Israel for the title, and then after that we\u2019ll see about that.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Alex Pereira is now going to focus on Israel Adesanya first and foremost.<\/p>\n

Chimaev has several challengers at his current weight class, and is the UFC\u2019s #3-ranked welterweight, closing in on getting a title shot of his own.<\/p>\n

Would you like to see a Chimaev vs Pereira match-up in the near future?<\/p>\n
