Video – Alex Pereira trains with Chuck Liddell ahead of UFC 287 title defense

Alex Pereira is getting some help from a UFC legend before his first title defense next month.

Five months removed from his shocking fifth-round knockout of Israel Adesanya at UFC 281, Pereira will return to the Octagon to defend his middleweight championship for the first time against the man he took it from. Pereira is already in the process of cutting weight for the April 8 matchup and now appears to be getting some last-minute help from UFC Hall of Famer Chuck Liddell.
