Alex Pereira’s son can count himself lucky this weekend, after footage emerged of the youngster attempting to prank his father at their home – with the former middleweight cham[ion almost unleashing his infamous left hand on what he believed to be a home intruder.
Pereira, a former undisputed middleweight champion under the banner of the UFC, has been sdielined since he successfully made a light heavyweight divisional bow at UFC 291 back in July of this year in a close, split decision win over former champion, Jan Blachowicz.
The Brazilian improved his promotional record to 5-1 as a result of his split judging win in Salt Lake City, Utah – having previously clinched the undisputed middleweight title in a spectacular fifth round standfing TKO win over former two-time champion, Israel Adesanya last November at UFC 281 in Madison Square Garden.
