5 fights to make for Alex Pereira after UFC Fight Night: Ankalaev vs. Santos win

#2. Alex Pereira vs. Darren 'The Gorilla' Till

Since making the move up to middleweight, former welterweight title challenger Darren Till has not had the success he initially envisioned he would. The Liverpudlian has gone 1-2 at 185lbs, with a win over Kelvin Gastelum and back-to-back losses against Robert Whittaker and Derek Brunson.

Till has been making headlines lately with his blossoming friendship with Khamzat Chimaev as he trains at Sweden's Allstars. However, Till also appears to be making a very conscious effort to elevate his game in order to get his career trajectory back on track.

Pereira vs. Till would be a blockbuster of a fight. Both men are lethal strikers, combining clinical technique with devastating power. A win for either man would likely see them enter the top five, and even set them up for a potential title fight.

#1. Alex Pereira vs. Uriah 'Primetime' Hall

Ranked at No.9, Uriah Hall would be the ideal opponent for Alex Pereira's third UFC appearance. Hall is a dynamic striker with an arsenal of vicious kicks that have put numerous opponents to sleep.

Pereira clearly believes that he is one of, if not the best kickboxer in the UFC, so why not give him the chance to prove it against the man who knocked out Gegard Mousasi with a spinning back kick to the face?

Admittedly, Hall has just been booked to face Andre Muniz in the near future. However, if Pereira is willing to wait around for their fight, it would be an electric matchup with guaranteed fireworks.
