MMA Preview – Alex Pereira vs Jiri Prochazka 2 at UFC 303
ALEX PEREIRA VS JIRI PROCHAZKA LOWDOWN
Alex Pereira (10-2) is making a habit of saving blockbuster cards. This slot was reserved for the Conor McGregor comeback against Michael Chandler, but now the Brazilian makes the second defence of his light heavyweight crown. He took his seat on the throne after his second fight at 205 lbs to add to his accolade of only taking four UFC fights to earn the middleweight crown. After getting knocked out by Israel Adesanya (2023) in their rematch, he moved up to outpoint Jan Blachowicz (2023) and then knock out Jiri Prochaza (2023) to earn the vacant strap and then dispatch Jamahal Hill (2024) at UFC 300
