Dricus du Plessis delivered a friendly message to Alex Pereira regarding a potential comeback to the middleweight category. Pereira, the former UFC middleweight champion who transitioned to the 205-pound division after a defeat to Adesanya, hinted at a possible return to the 185-pound category on social media. Du Plessis welcomed the idea of facing Pereira but showed belief in his capacity to emerge victorious if they were to compete. He advised Pereira to remain in the 205-pound division and concentrate on his upcoming bout against Khalil Rountree Jr. Du Plessis stressed his ambition to dominate his current weight category before contemplating a shift to the light heavyweight category, though he remains willing to take on any challenges that the UFC may present.
