Both Alex Pereira and Jiirchazka do not have much time to prepare for UFC 303. They accepted the competition less than 1 month before the event, in the context of the match between Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler to cancel. But the two have devoted a very high quality match.
Prochazka shows his peak performance is gradually returning. But that was not enough to help him turn the situation in the match against the defending champion at the Light Heavyweight, Alex Pereira. “Poatan” played completely overwhelming in the first half, and almost ended the match early.
By the beginning of the second half, Pereira showed that he had no intention of exploring. Taking advantage of the opponent's loophole, the champion launched a surprise high kick with his left foot. This blow hit Prochazka ear, causing him to immediately fall. Prochazka was quite stunned to receive a blow.
Just waiting for that, Pereira came and created a “rice pounding”, thereby causing the referee to request the end of the match. The 13th second of the second half continued to affirm Pereira's dominant power in this weight class. He soon stated his name to become one of the best boxers of UFC.
In July 2023, Alex Pereira launched the Light Heavyweight. He debuted with the unanimous victory against Jan Blachowicz. But the more he played in this weight class, Pereira showed overwhelming power when he defeated Prochazka, and then Jamahal Hill.
