LFA Signs Glory 2-Division Champ and Israel Adesanya Rival Alex Pereira

Shortly after a fake Twitter account masqueraded and made waves as Glory kickboxing champ Alexsandro Pereira, the fighter has signed with the Legacy Fighting Alliance.

On Thursday night, the promotion announced it had signed highly touted kickboxer Pereira (2-1 MMA, 40-6 KB). The kickboxer had once signed to participate on Dana on 2018, but a prospective matchup was unexpectedly scratched before it came together. Pereira does not yet have an opponent listed, or any date specified for his organizational debut. It is expected that “Poatan” will compete at the middleweight division that he lorded over in Glory.
