Things couldn't be going much better for Alex Pereira.
After a legendary run in the kickboxing ring, the Brazilian is now a two-division UFC champion, and he recorded a third defense of his light heavyweight title with a fourth-round stoppage of Khalil Rountree Jr. at Saturday's UFC 307 in Salt Lake City.
After his win over Rountree, who gave an excellent effort in defeat, all signs point to Pereira taking on No. 2 contender Magomed Ankalaev.
The Russian wrestler has lost just once in 21 professional fights, and he is on one of the best streaks in MMA right now.
