The man that KO’d Adesanya - LFA signs two-weight kickboxing champ Alex Pereira

Legacy Fighting Alliance (LFA) announced it has signed two-weight GLORY kickboxing champion, Alex Pereira to the promotion on Thursday.

LFA took to social media to give a warm welcome to Pereira, who is well-known for his work in the kickboxing world in both the middleweight and light heavyweight divisions. Throughout his career, Pereira has amassed an overall record of 41-6, with two of those wins coming against current UFC middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya in 2016 and 2017 respectively.

In 2017, Pereira became the GLORY middleweight champion after defeating Simon Marcus by way of unanimous decision at GLORY 46: China.
