After making quick work of Jamahal Hill at UFC 300, Alex Pereira has his sights set on a quick turnaround and heavyweight gold.
Stepping inside the Octagon to defend his light heavyweight title for the first time, ‘Poatan’ delivered another jaw-dropping finish, putting ‘Sweet Dreams’ to sleep with a slick left uppercut that sent Hill crashing to the canvas. A few ground-and-pound shots later, that was all she wrote.

Speaking with Joe Rogan immediately following his seventh career win inside the Octagon, Pereira alluded to a potential showdown with reigning interim UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall at UFC 301 next month when the promotion returns to Rio de Janeiro.
