Welcome to today's edition of Sportskeeda MMA News Roundup! Alex Pereira is recharging in Brazil and eyeing a comeback this fall. Meanwhile, Jon Jones’ legal troubles take a sharp turn as his attorney blasts the police over what he calls a baseless investigation. And Islam Makhachev just revealed a real fighter who’s officially joined his infamous “2–3 years in Dagestan” training challenge. Let's break down all the stories:Alex Pereira talks about potential timeline for returnAfter a non-stop run of high-stakes UFC fights, including a title reign and battles across two divisions, Alex Pereira has returned to Brazil to heal up and spend time with family. Fans were hoping to see him headline International Fight Week.However, Pereira opted out of that timeline, choosing full recovery over a rushed comeback. He hinted that October is the realistic target for his return, depending on how negotiations with the UFC unfold.Speaking in an interview with 'The Schmo', he said:"Well, right now, I took some time to recover my body, to heal. Go to Brazil right now to get a little big, spend some time with my family. We are in talks with the UFC... Maybe something in October."Check out Alex Pereira's comments below (2:30):Jon Jones’ lawyer slams “unwarranted” case, claims police are targeting himJon Jones’ legal saga continues, and his attorney has fired back hard. After news broke that Jones had been charged with a misdemeanor for allegedly fleeing the scene of a February car accident, his attorney, Christopher Dodd, publicly criticized the investigation.According to Dodd, the former UFC fighter wasn’t even driving the vehicle in question. He claims the woman involved falsely accused Jones in an attempt to dodge her arrest.The lawyer also condemned the Albuquerque Police Department for allegedly overreaching by seeking Jones’ cell phone records for a misdemeanor-level incident. MMA reporter Aaron Bronsteter brought his statement to light, which read:"As Jon’s lawyer, I am stunned by the Albuquerque Police Department’s decision to charge him in this new case. In the thousands of cases I have handled in my career, I have never seen a case as strange and unwarranted as this one. Jon was not driving that night; he wasn’t in the car. It appears that an intoxicated woman used a false allegation against Jon to avoid being arrested for DWI, and the police fell for it.""Based on the criminal complaint, it looks like they went so far as to seek a warrant for Jon’s cell phone records while conducting a misdemeanor traffic investigation. I have never heard of such a thing. It is truly unbelievable that the police would waste this amount of resources on such a case. The only thing I can think of is that the police were targeting Jon for improper purposes. We will get to the bottom of it and make sure that this baseless case is dismissed.”Check out the statement below:Islam Makhachev welcomes undefeated Mexican fighter to DagestanIslam Makhachev’s “2–3 years in Dagestan” meme just turned serious.
