## Pereira‘s Championship Ambitions Pose Challenge too Procházka’s UFC Title Shot
Alex Pereira indicated he would lobby for Bo Nickal to face light heavyweight contender Karl Roberson if Nickal defeats Valetinova, potentially altering the path to a title shot for Jiří Procházka. Pereira stated, “I have seen only a haircut and the most crucial moments from the Ulberg vs Reyes match, but I can say it was a technical match and definitely nice ko. It is always good to appear a new name. I have already fought with everyone at the top, so it is indeed logical that Carlos will be next.”
The progress introduces a complication for Procházka, who has received assurances from the UFC regarding a future title possibility. However,Pereira’s current status as a major UFC star means his preferences could heavily influence the association’s decisions should he become champion. The outcome of the upcoming weekend’s fights will clarify the situation and potentially reshape the landscape of the light heavyweight division.
