Like ‘The Great’ Alexander Volkanovksi before him, Alex Pereira will step up and save the day at UFC 303.
On Saturday, June 29, ‘Poatan’ will put his light heavyweight world championship on the line against former foe and ex-titleholder Jiri Prochazka. The bout was essentially slapped together two weeks away from fight night after the originally scheduled main event between Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler fell through when the Irishman suffered an unfortunate injury.
Before putting his 205-pound crown on the line for the second time since November, Pereira was spotted in a video taking his McLaren out for a spin and cranking up the 80s classic Land Down Under by Men At Work—a song UFC fans immediately recognize as an unofficial theme of the former featherweight champ.
