Brazilian phenom, Alex Pereira is slated to take main event honors at UFC 300 in April in his first attempted defense of the light heavyweight crown. And off the back of his confirmation as the flagship card’s headliner, the Sao Paulo native has opened as an early betting favorite to dispatch incoming foe, ex-champion, Jamahal Hill
Pereira, the current undisputed light heavyweight champion and a former undisputed middleweight titleholder under the promotion’s banner, won 205 pound gold back in November at Madison Square Garden.
Laying waste to ex-champion, Jiri Prochakza, Pereira won the title belt vacated by Hill, who suffered an achilles injury last summer, after winning himself vacant gold in a showdown against Pereira’s compatriot and close friend, Glover Teixeira.
