Pereira teases cryptic '1-2-3 and go' comeback post

UFC Light Heavyweight champion Alex Pereira posted a cryptic Instagram message '1-2-3 and go' on February 12, 2026, hinting at his comeback after four months of silence since recapturing his title. The post sparks speculation on whether he's eyeing a third weight class like Heavyweight amid Tom Aspinall's injury, a title shot against Ciryl Gane, a trilogy with Jiri Prochazka, or even Jon Jones. This matters for Light Heavyweight and Heavyweight divisions as it could reshape title pictures and enable superfights. Expect UFC to clarify his opponent and weight soon, potentially aligning with high-profile events.
