Alex Pereira Set for Heavyweight Bout Against Sergei Pavlovich at UFC 335

Alex Pereira is scheduled to return to the Octagon on December 12 at UFC 335. The event, held at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, will feature Pereira in a heavyweight contest against Sergei Pavlovich. The UFC 335 fight card is headlined by a BMF title fight between Charles Oliveira and Diego Lopes.

In the lead-up to the matchup, former UFC champion and analyst Michael Bisping provided commentary regarding the stylistic challenges Pereira faces in the heavyweight division. Bisping suggested that Pereira’s movement, which he characterized as "flat-footed," could prove problematic against a knockout artist like Pavlovich. According to Bisping, these defensive vulnerabilities could potentially lead to a difficult outing for the former multi-division champion.

As Pereira transitions further into the heavyweight landscape, the bout against Pavlovich represents a significant test of his durability and tactical approach against naturally larger opponents. This fight serves as a marquee addition to the year-end schedule for the promotion.
