Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jiri Prochazka has accused current champ Alex Pereira of using spiritual rituals to gain an advantage in their upcoming rematch at UFC 303. Prochazka challenged Pereira to fight without these rituals, suggesting that Pereira relies on them for his performance. Pereira, who has Indigenous roots with the Pataxo tribe, responded by asserting that everyone has their own spirits and that he has found his. Experts like Teddy Atlas and Alexander Volkanovski have weighed in on the rematch, with Atlas giving a slight edge to Pereira despite the close odds. This rematch follows their initial fight at UFC 295, where Pereira won by second-round knockout. UFC 303 is set for June 29 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
