Fresh off his impressive second round knockout win over former champion, Jiri Prochazka to scoop vacant light heavyweight gold at UFC 295 over the course of the weekend, two-weight champion, Alex Pereira has opened as a decent betting favorite to beat another ex-champion in his first attempted 205 pound title defense, in the form of Jamahal Hill.
Pereira, a former undisputed middleweight championship holder, managed to land his second crown since landing in the organization with his victory over Prochazka on Saturday, stopping the Czech Republic native with a second round knockout win at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
