Alex Pereira gave the UFC and its fans plenty to celebrate.
Stepping in on short notice against a dangerous opponent he’d defeated just seven months ago, Pereira put on one hell of an encore as he once again put Jiri Prochazka away via strikes in the main event of UFC 303 on Saturday in Las Vegas. Their first fight concluded with a fair, if early stoppage, but there was no doubt that Pereira had Prochazka’s number in the rematch.
