Alex Pereira vs. Khalil Rountree Jr.
Poatan’ Alex Pereira, the popular Brazilian fan-favorite will again fight in a UFC title match. He has gone a perfect 4-0 in the light heavyweight division defeating former title-holders Jan Błachowicz, Jamahal Hill, and Jiří Procházka twice. ‘Poatan’ won and has defended his throne all by way of knockout.
On October 5, he will face the US-born Khalil Rountree Jr. who is on a five-fight win streak in the light heavyweight division. Most notably, he is coming off an impressive knockout win over former title contender Anthony Smith. The US-born athlete will look to use his Muay Thai to stop the division king.
