Even before his return to the Octagon at UFC 307, light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira was hit with a series of setbacks.
Putting his gold on the line for the third time in 2024 against 205-pound knockout artist Khalil Rountree Jr, Pereira delivered another sensational showing, scoring a vicious fourth-round KO.
But perhaps even more impressive than his victory was the fact that ‘Poatan’ had overcome so many obstacles in the weeks leading up to fight night.
