Alex Pereira says his next fight is close, and Dana White has said he could reveal it on Saturday.
"It's coming. Good news, that's right, a big challenge," Pereira said in a video posted on his own channels, in Portuguese. "If I hadn't taken risks in all my fights, I wouldn't be who I am today."
In a separate clip, the streamer Nina Drama asked White how many comments it would take for him to announce Pereira's next fight "this Saturday on my Kick stream". "Let's do 25,000," White said. Asked whether that meant Saturday in Salt Lake, he said it did.
UFC 332 is in Salt Lake City on Saturday, headlined by Natalia Silva against Wang Cong for the women's flyweight title: UFC 332 UK start time. Pereira's opponent has not been named.
