Alex Pereira had an impressive performance at UFC 303 when he took on Jiri Prochazka at short notice and secured a clear victory with a headkick knockout in the second round of their light heavyweight title match. This win by Pereira put an end to the notion of a curse on the 205-pound division following Jon Jones’ departure. The new champion is eager to defend his title and is determined to make the most of every opportunity that comes his way. Despite some talk about moving up to the heavyweight division, Pereira is currently focused on dominating the 205-pound category.
After his remarkable victory, Pereira dismissed discussions about potential challengers and emphasized his resolve to defend his belt and exhibit his skills in the light heavyweight division. While he may consider competing in the heavyweight division in the future, Pereira highlighted the importance of proper preparation before venturing into that arena. Despite facing bold statements from rivals like Magomed Ankalaev and Jamahal Hill, Pereira showcased confidence in his capabilities and left it to Dana White to decide on his next opponent.
Although he hinted at taking a short break before his next bout, Pereira assured his fans that he plans to stay active and quickly return to action. Addressing concerns about a possible injury from the fight, Pereira confirmed that he was uninjured and expressed gratitude for his good health.
