The former light heavyweight champion is already planning a comeback later this year. After losing the belt to Magomed Ankalaev in March, Pereira says a rematch remains his top priority.

Ankalaev has been poking him online, claiming that Pereira is delaying the rematch. Pereira, meanwhile, has seemingly already started a new training camp in Brazil and is eyeing a return around October.

'Poatan' was on a five-fight win streak before the loss to Ankalaev. The Brazilian moved up to the light heavyweight division after the knockout loss to Israel Adesanya at UFC 287. During the stretch, he went on to win the 205-pound title and defended it three times before dropping the title to Ankalaev at UFC 313.

Daniele, meanwhile, has been on a sharp upward trajectory in terms of popularity, despite pushback from some fans. Her offbeat interviews with fighters during fight week have become a staple for combat sports enthusiasts.
