Movie antagonist persona adopted by Alex Pereira alarms fans ahead of his rematch against Magomed Ankalayev
Alex Pereira, a former UFC champion in two weight classes, is gearing up for a highly anticipated rematch against Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 320 on October 5, 2025[1][2][3][4][5]. However, Pereira's preparation for the title fight has been the subject of discussion, as he is currently filming for his role as a villain in A24's new thriller, "Onslaught."
In the movie, Pereira plays the character The Butcher, a role that involves a significant career opportunity outside the UFC[6]. While fans are excited about this Hollywood debut, they are also expressing concern that the demands of filming a feature film so close to an important title fight might affect Pereira's performance against Ankalaev, who previously defeated him by unanimous decision earlier in 2025[1].
Despite the potential distractions, no official statements from Pereira or his camp have clarified how the film schedule is being managed alongside his fight preparation[1].
Meanwhile, in the world of UFC, Tom Aspinall has reacted to the possibility of a fight with Jon Jones at a future event[7]. This potential match-up has also caught the attention of Cyril Gane, who made comments about the potential fight[8]. However, Aspinall has dismissed Gane's comments ahead of UFC 321, an upcoming event where he is likely to participate[9].
Elsewhere, Charles Oliveira and Rafael Fiziev are potential opponents for each other in an upcoming UFC event[10]. This fight has sparked discussions among UFC analysts, with Carlos Prates expressing his opinion that it is an illogical choice[11].
