Alex Pereira successfully defended his light heavyweight title for the second time with a second-round KO of Jiri Prochazka at UFC 303. Speculation about his next opponent includes Magomed Ankalaev and Jan Blachowicz, with Pereira’s manager hinting at Blachowicz as the preferred choice. Pereira has also expressed interest in moving up to heavyweight. Despite his dominant performance, he remains an underdog in potential matches against Jon Jones, Tom Aspinall, and Ankalaev. Pereira has quickly become a star in the UFC, generating significant revenue and drawing praise for his willingness to take fights on short notice.
