Alex Pereira is preparing for a significant return on June 14, aiming to make history by becoming the first UFC fighter to secure titles in three different weight classes. Having previously held championships in middleweight and light heavyweight, Pereira has expressed no intention of returning to lower weight divisions after this upcoming bout.

Wisse, who has held the GLORY middleweight title for over 400 days longer than Pereira's previous reign, is also planning a career move.
Wisse intends to compete in three more GLORY bouts this year and three next year before transitioning to mixed martial arts. He has already incorporated MMA training into his schedule, demonstrating a clear ambition to follow a similar path to Pereira.
