Off the back of another stunning knockout win at UFC 307 over the course of the weekend, Alex Pereira has eclipsed basketball icon, former Chicago Bulls star, Michael Jordan as a “two-sport king” according to former Octagon challenger, Chael Sonnen.
Pereira, a former undisputed middleweight champion, turned in his third consecutive successful defense of the light heavyweight throne in just seven months at UFC 307 over the course of last weekend, stopping challenger, Khalil Rountree with a fourth round knockout win.
Adding the Syndicate MMA staple to a run at 205lbs as champion which includes a pair of knockout wins over Jiri Prochazka and his fellow former titleholder, Jamahal Hill, Sao Paulo star, Alex Pereira revealed plans to take somewhat of a break away from the Octagon amid his active run as of late.
