Alex Pereira is enlisting the help of former foe Sean Strickland.
In March, ‘Poatan’ surrendered the light heavyweight title after delivering a lackluster performance against Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 313. Now, the Brazilian bruiser will have the chance to redeem himself and take back the crown when they run it back on October 4 in Las Vegas.
To get him ready for one of the biggest fights of his combat sports career, Pereira brought in another former champion whom he’s already had the pleasure of sharing the Octagon with.
