Former two-time undisputed middleweight champion, has backed claims of apparent mystique and “juju” surrounding Alex Pereira ahead of the Brazilian’s return to action this weekend at UFC 307 in Salt Lake City.
Pereira, a former undisputed middleweight champion — who toppled Adesanya two years ago to win the throne in a come-from-behind win at Madison Square Garden, has since minted himself as the undisputed light heavyweight champion.
And returning this weekend in Utah, fan-favorite knockout artist, Pereira will attempt to defend his 205lbs for the third time this year alone, most recently taking out Jiri Prochazka with a blistering high-kick knockout win at UFC 303 back in June.
