Turning in a dominant victory in his return at UFC 303 on short-notice over the course of the weekend, Alex Pereira is already sparring with his teammates once more in Danbury, Connecticut – just two days after his impressive win against Jiri Prochazka.

And emerging from the clash largely unscathed, Sao Paulo knockout artist, Pereira added to his lengthy highlight-reel at UFC 303, stopping Czech Republic native, Prochazka with a brutal second round high-kick knockout in Las Vegas.
Weighing up a heavyweight move in the immediate aftermath of his victory, Pereira has both fan and pundit backing to make a move to the division in search of a historic third championship reign, according to UFC leader, Dana White.
“I’m standing up there with the belt and I had Joe Rogan in my ear the whole time we were up there: Let him (Alex Pereira) fight [at] heavyweight, come on, just do it,’” Dana White told assembled media following to fight again, right away. He’s that guy. He’s a savage, man, an absolute stud.”
Admitting he is open to “anybody” in his next outing inside the Octagon, Pereira has already received numerous callouts from the likes of Jamahal Hill, and Magomed Anklaev – who vowed to knock him out, as well as former champion and prior-foe, Jan Blachowicz.
