Alex Pereira reacts to UFC 313 title loss, promises changes for Magomed Ankalaev rematch

Alex Pereira is in good spirits in the aftermath of UFC 313 despite losing his light heavyweight title to Magomed Ankalaev.

In his first statement since exciting the octagon after a unanimous decision defeat to Ankalaev (21-1-1 MMA, 12-1-1 UFC) on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Pereira (12-3 MMA, 9-2 UFC) maintained a positive attitude about his spectacular run as champion coming to an end.

“That’s it, everyone. Some marks. But I’m good,” Pereira said in a video statement on Instagram. “Going to rest a bit. I’ll be back, like I’ve always done. This has already happened (before). Life continues.”
