If any further proof of Alex Pereira’s power needed, it has arrived in the form of confirmation from Glover Teixeira.
The pace at which Pereira rose to Ultimate Fighting Championship stardom is arguably unprecedented. Pereira had just four MMA fights to his name when he made his UFC debut in 2021. The Brazilian went on to defeat former Glory Kickboxing foe Israel Adesanya to win the middleweight title within a year of his UFC debut.
While “Poatan” lost the title in their immediate rematch, he has since established a light heavyweight title reign.
