Ahead of his return to action at UFC 307 this weekend, undisputed light heavyweight champion, Alex Pereira has calmed talks of a potential return to his former stomping grounds at middleweight, as well as a heavyweight climb, announcing plans to continue defending the 205lbs crown.
Pereira, a former two-division champion, is slated to headline UFC 307 this weekend at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah — taking on surging light heavyweight contender, Khalil Rountree in a high-stakes championship pairing.
Most recently landing a dominant second round win over former champion, Jiri Prochazka, Sao Paulo knockout star, Pereira stopped his two-time foe with a stunning high-kick knockout stoppage at UFC 303 on short-notice during International Fight Week back in June.
