One win until UFC GOAT status? Alex Pereira letting others determine

Alex Pereira (13-3 MMA, 10-2 UFC) will fight Ciryl Gane (13-2 MMA, 10-2 UFC) in the co-main event of UFC Freedom 250 on Sunday at the White House in Washington. A victory would make Pereira the interim heavyweight champion and the first fighter in UFC history to hold titles in three weight classes — middleweight, light heavyweight, and heavyweight. Speaking at a pre-fight press conference on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, Pereira acknowledged the historic nature of the opportunity but said he would leave it to others to determine his place in UFC history.
