UFC CEO, Dana White admits that while he’s not sold on the idea of former two-weight champion, Alex Pereira making a heavyweight divisional leap following last night’s stunning victory in Las Vegas, he knows fans and pundits are clamoring for it.
Pereira, a former undisputed middleweight champion and the current undisputed light heavyweight champion, headlined UFC 303 overnight in a short-notice rematch against Czech Republic star, Jiri Prochazka.
And landing his second career win over the former titleholder, Pereira scored a devastating second round high-kick and strikes knockout win over Prochazka, successfully defending his light heavyweight crown for the second time.
