Undisputed light heavyweight champion, Alex Pereira has been tipped to headline UFC 300 next year in a trilogy rubber match title fight against Israel Adesanya by former welterweight star, Ben Askren, who doubts ex-two-weight champion, Conor McGregor will take main event honors.
Pereira, a former undisputed middleweight champion and newly-minted light heavyweight gold holder, headlined UFC 295 at the beginning of last month, landing a stunning second round TKO win over Jiri Prochazka, stopping the former champion to land the division’s vacant crown.
And in the immediate aftermath of his title victory at Madison Square Garden, Sao Paulo native, Alex Pereira offered two-time Octagon foe, Adesanya a trilogy rubber match at the light heavyweight limit.
