Summary

Alex Pereira is moving on from his rivalry with Israel Adesanya — at least, for now — following his UFC 287 loss as he's made the decision to make the jump up to the UFC's light heavyweight division. What does it all mean, and have we overlooked a key piece of this equation when it comes to this situation? On an all-new edition of Heck of a Morning, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck reacts to Pereira's announcement that he's moving to 205, and if he could find his way into a light heavyweight title fight with Jamahal Hill immediately if Jiri Prochazka is not ready to return to action in quick order. Additionally, topics include what could be next for Adesanya at middleweight, if the UFC should go right to Adesanya vs. Khamzat Chimaev, where Dricus Du Plessis fits in this discussion, Brandon Moreno vs. Alexandre Pantoja heading to UFC 290 in July for the flyweight title, the UFC Kansas City main event between Max Holloway and Arnold Allen, and more. You can listen live to Heck of a Morning Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays at 10 a.m. ET on the MMA Fighting Twitter Spaces.

1:41.5	going on in the combat sports world yesterday was a very busy day. We had some blockbuster
1:48.3	announcements, which we'll obviously be talking about today throughout the program on a personal
1:55.2	note, feeling a lot better. I feel like I have come through whatever I had to deal with
