301 is 3 days away fellas, he's probably planning on attending and announcing his next fight there.
Yup I think this is probably it.
No.1 he still has a recently busted toe. UFC300 was less than 3weeks ago and his toe was in bad shape then. Might not even have got medically cleared to fight this weekend even if he had wanted to.
No.2 Pereira is a BIG draw especially in Brazil (obviously) so the UFC would be maxxing the pre-fight hype if Pereira was fighting this weekend.
No.3 He's for SURE gonna be in attendance at the event, front and center, this is his own country.
No.4 I really doubt he's gonna fight Aspinall at HW (but it's possible) -- I think Ankalev at LHW is the most likely opponent.
and finally.....remember that Alex does have a sense of humor and enjoys a prank...... see this :
