Mick Maynard’s Shoes: What’s next for champ Alex Pereira after UFC 303 title defense?

(ALSO SEE: Mick Maynard’s Shoes: What’s next for Jiri Prochazka after UFC 303 loss?)

Alex Pereira’s path of destruction through the light heavyweight division continued Saturday when he logged a second title defense in the UFC 303 against Jiri Prochazka.

Pereira (11-2 MMA, 8-1 UFC) scored a blistering second-round TKO of Prochazka (30-5-1 MMA, 4-2 UFC) in their main event rematch at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, and he’s now cleared out the majority of the top five at 205 pounds.

There’s a glaring name in the rankings Pereira has yet to fight in his division, but there’s also the growing intrigue of a move up to heavyweight.

What should be next for Pereira? Watch the video above for thoughts and analysis on his future after UFC 303.
