Alex Pereira on fighting Dricus Du Plessis
In a recent interview with FULL SEND MMA, Alex Pereira shared his thoughts on Dricus Du Plessis and how he feels Du Plessis is avoiding him.
“Dricus definitely is an easier fight than fighting Jon Jones,” Pereira said, as quoted by mmafighting.com. “I think making weight will be harder than the fight, but I did stop making that weight class because I said my body needed a break two or three fights without having to make that cut.
Now I think I’ve rested long enough, I think I can definitely do that and make the fight happen, but it depends on him. I showed interest many times, but he never replies”.
