Alex Pereira says he is ready to return to the UFC and is focused on securing a rematch with Ciryl Gane, following their fight last June in which Pereira was knocked out. Multiple outlets report he is speaking to UFC fans about his next steps and his intent to move past the controversy surrounding UFC Freedom 250 and the aftermath of that loss.

The outlets place Pereira’s comments in the context of his comeback planning after the defeat and frame the rematch as his stated priority. While both sources agree on his goal to return and his desire to fight Gane again, the coverage differs in emphasis: one highlights him “leaving” the Freedom 250 controversy behind, while the other foregrounds his announcement and demand for a rematch. Neither source provides a confirmed fight date or an official booking details in the provided text.
