At the UFC 313 event taking place this weekend, Alex Pereira continued to play. He will protect the Light Heavyweight weight championship before Magomed Ankalaev. One of Alex Pereira's strengths is the ability to press weight in a short time, and he continues to do that before UFC 313.
According to the information shared by Alex Pereira, his weight at 5 days before checking the scale at the event was 103.2kg. However, the maximum weight for boxers in Light Heavyweight before stepping on the scale is 93kg. That also means that Alex Pereira has to cut 10.2kg in just 5 days if he does not want to be deprived of the championship.
The method of pressing weight Alex Pereira is to cut water in a traditional way. The boxer will load – discharge a large amount of water every day, then suddenly stop drinking more water to “draw” water quickly. Alex Pereira shows that he possesses an unusual physical, when the UFC champion can drink and “discharge” up to 13 liters of water a day.
In the past, Alex Pereira could even press down 20kg in a short time to meet the Middleweight weight standard. But after the rematch against Israel Adesanya, where Alex Pereira received defeat, the boxer decided to rank Light Heavyweight. That helps him not to struggle as before.
UFC 313 took place on the night of March 8, in the morning of March 9 in Vietnam. Besides the match between Alex Pereira and Magomed Ankalaev, the event also witnessed some other fascinating competitions. One of them took place in the Lightweight weight class, where Justin Gaethje encountered Rafael Fiziev.
