UFC head Dana White has spoken out about the next opponent for the promotion's current light heavyweight champion, Brazilian Alex Pereira.
Israel Adesanya is now competing in a different category. Jamahal Hill, when he's ready, that's the fight that makes sense.

Pereira last fought against Jiri Prochazka on November 12 at UFC 295. In that confrontation, Alex won by technical knockout in the second round. He has nine wins and two losses on his record.
Hill last entered the octagon against Glover Teixeira in January of this year at UFC 283. That fight went the full distance and ended in Jamahal's favor with a unanimous decision. He has 12 wins and one loss on his record.
