UFC’s Robert Whittaker: ‘I consider I am probably the most harmful middleweight ever’

Alex Pereira’s exceptional MMA run continued on Saturday, because the Brazilian knocked out Jiri Prochazka for the second time in seven months, retaining the UFC light-heavyweight title.

Pereira, a kickboxing nice, turned a two-weight UFC champion inside two years of becoming a member of the promotion, stopping Prochazka in November to win the vacant 205lb belt – having beforehand held the 185lb strap. And on Saturday (29 June), in the primary occasion of UFC 303, Pereira knocked out Prochazka within the second spherical once more, recording a second defence of the light-heavyweight title.

Within the closing second of spherical one, Pereira dropped Prochazka with a signature left hook. Then, within the opening moments of spherical two, Pereira dropped the Czech with a head kick. Pereira then completed the previous champion on the canvas with floor and pound.

Pereira, 36, and Prochazka, 31, stepped up after the unique principal occasion, Conor McGregor vs Michael Chandler, collapsed this month. Re-live updates and see all outcomes from UFC 303, under.
