Staking his claim for a return to the Octagon as soon as August later this summer, light heavyweight champion, Alex Pereira has welcomed the chance to fight ‘Downunder’ at UFC 305 in Perth, amid continued links to a showdown against former champion, Jiri Prochazka.
Pereira, a former undisputed middleweight champion to boot, and the incumbent light heavyweight gold holder, has been sidelined for the last two months, most recently headlining UFC 300 as part of that monstrous card.
And taking main event honors, Sao Paulo knockout star, Pereira turned in a brutal opening round knockout win over former titleholder, Jamahal Hill – before aiming his bow at a return to fighting as soon as the tailend of this summer.
