Alex Pereira proposes major UFC rule changes after UFC 313 loss

After his recent loss to Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 313, Alex Pereira is calling for a rule change in the UFC to address the issue of cage stalling, which he believes detracted from his performance. Despite being outstruck, Pereira argues that he won the fight and criticized Ankalaev for not delivering damage while controlling him against the cage. Following his defeat, Pereira has expressed a desire for an immediate rematch with Ankalaev, aiming for a potential return in August. He had also been planning major fights outside of his weight class, including a possible heavyweight bout or a boxing match against Oleksandr Usyk, but these plans are currently on hold. Pereira's previous success in the UFC, including winning titles, has made him a prominent figure in MMA, but this latest setback has shifted his focus back to reclaiming his title. The debate surrounding the effectiveness of current UFC rules continues, with other fighters also voicing similar concerns about cage stalling.
