Alex Pereira Hoping To Earn Light-Heavyweight Belt
1 year agoAlex Pereira (8-2) and Jiri Prochazka will compete for a vacant belt after former champion Jamahal Hill stepped down due to an Achilles injury sustained during a basketball game. This is Pereira's second fight in the UFC's light heavyweight division, the first fight being with Jan Blachowicz which Pereira won via split decision. A victory on Saturday would make Pereira the fastest fighter to win two titles in the UFC, and doing so in his 11th professional MMA fight. DraftKings sees Pereira as the slight favorite with a salary of $8,400. He averages 77.1 fantasy points per contest through six UFC bouts.
