Alex Pereira previews UFC 291 fight against Jan Blachowicz: ‘He’s a dangerous guy’

Former UFC middleweight champion, Alex Pereira reacts to his next matchup against Jan Blachowicz, this time at light-heavyweight.

Just over three months on from his brutal knockout loss to Israel Adesanya at UFC 287, Pereira will be returning to action. Along with several other exciting matchups, it was recently announced the ‘Poatan’ will be making his awaited move up in weight class, and would be taking on former 205lbs champion, Blawhowicz.

Blachowicz is currently ranked No.3 in at light-heavyweight and with the current state of the division, any big win could see anyone ranked one through five could see themselves in a title fight.
