Glory's Middleweight Champion-Light Heavyweight of Glory, Alex Pereira (33-7 Kickboxing, 3-1 MMA), the only martial artist who used to give the reigning Israeli champion Adesanya tasting the floor, finally arrived at UFC.
Posting a video wearing UFC shirt and putting a pen to contract with the largest MMA in the world, Pereira said:
“Hello everyone! Now I have officially signed a contract. Thank UFC, I am very happy to become a part of the tournament.”
This information was officially published after Alex Pereira lost by calculating the stars in the Light Heavyweight Glory battle against rival Artem Vakhitov. As one of the world's leading Kickboxing punches, Alex Pereira arrogantly ranked 6th on the Pound-For-Pound rankings of the Kickboxer worldwide by Combat Press.
The appearance of Alex Pereira at UFC is very expected, because he is not only the only one who has ever lowered the Israeli Adesanya, but also the only one who makes Adeasanya give in 2 times on the stage.
The first time Pereira defeated “The Last StyleBender” took place at the Glory of Heroes event in April 2016, Pereira won the point. Next, in the rematch at Glory of Heroes March 7, 2017, Pereira once again defeated Adesanya, this time it was with a left knockout.
