Alex Pereira has a knack for turning former foes into friends.
Pereira defends his light heavyweight title against Khalil Rountree Jr. in the main event at UFC 307 on Oct. 5 at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. Pereira recently uploaded footage of his first week of training in Utah, where former kickboxing foe Yousri Belgaroui was in his camp. Belgaroui defeated Pereira via unanimous decision in their first Glory kickboxing matchup, while the Brazilian exacted revenge via knockout the next two times they fought.
However, Belgaroui isn’t the only former foe joining Pereira’s camp leading up to UFC 307.
