UFC light heavyweight champion, Alex Pereira, took to social media to celebrate the new year in explosive fashion as he also went ‘official’ with UFC flyweight, Tracy Cortez.
The light heavyweight king had a turbulent 2025. Poatan was coming off an epic year in 2024, going 3-0 with three finishes, including headlining the historic UFC 300. 2025 didn’t start as smoothly for Alex Pereira as he suffered his first loss at light heavyweight when he lost to Magomed Ankalaev in a one-sided decision.
He did, however, bounce back in epic fashion when he rematched the Russian, blasting away his foe in just 1:20 in one of the most shocking finishes of the year.
