Video: Is Alex Pereira the face of UFC? Where does he rank among light heavyweight greats?
Alex Pereira keeps making MMA fans in awe.
This past Saturday, “Poatan” defended his UFC light heavyweight title in the main event of UFC 307, and he did so by putting away Khalil Rountree in violent fashion. Pereira (12-2 MMA, 9-1 UFC) has quickly become one of the biggest stars in MMA as he’s achieved plenty in and out of the octagon in less than three years in the promotion.
With five championship wins on his resume and many highlight-reel finishes, is Pereira now the face and most important fighter in the UFC? Where does he rank among the greatest in light heavyweight history?
MMA Junkie’s Brian Garcia, Nolan King, Mike Bohn, and host Gorgeous George discuss Pereira’s big TKO win over Rountree and take an overall look at his incredible UFC run.
