Undisputed light heavyweight champion, Alex Pereira has sent his fans into bedlam on social media overnight, with the Brazilian star teasing a potential appearance at UFC 212 in February — claiming he will see his Australian fanfare soon.
Pereira, a former undisputed middleweight champion, and often-time training partner of event headliner, Sean Strickland — is expected to serve in the corner of the incoming middleweight title challenger for his UFC 312 rematch with the incumbent, Dricus du Plessis in a trip to Syndey in two months.
Sidelined since he featured in his own main event outing back in October, Sao Paulo knockout ace, Pereira most recently turned in a stunning fourth round knockout win over title chaser, Khalil Rountree — finishing the Syndicate MMA staple to defend his light heavyweight title for the third time this year alone — earning him our Fighter of the Year award to boot.
