Now it's your turn"- UFC welterweight, Khamzat Chimev tweeted.

[{"selector":"#anim-0e91e83e-f888-4eb4-8ee9-6f6b42d9f1ff","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-96ba32f1-1c9b-4038-a878-1c6b1a483405","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 65.91996%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e313f6ba-65d3-48ea-bb2a-90fc406cad4d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9b3eb096-3c42-47e1-9527-4aa70c28e9e5 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(17.223436351201908%, -23.249023566734124%) scale(1.4672897196261683)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] So it makes no sense at all for Alex Pereira to return to the octagon in less than 2 months to defend his middleweight title.
