This is an excerpt from my documentary "How Alex Pereira Speedran the UFC". Alex Pereira is the former 2-division Glory Kickboxing World Champion who ventured to the UFC to hunt Israel Adesanya and make him pay for the comments Adesanya made regarding Pereira being a bitter former opponent drinking in a bar. Alex Pereira debuted in the UFC in 2021 at UFC 268, knocking out Andreas Michailidis with a spectacular flying knee. Afterward, Alex Pereira defeated Bruno Silva via Unanimous decision to earn a number 1 contendership spot against former middleweight champion Sean Strickland at UFC 268. Pereira knocked out Sean Strickland at UFC 276 to earn a title shot against Israel Adesanya at UFC 281. Israel Adesanya was Alex Pereira's Rival in Kickboxing, where Alex Pereira had beaten Adesanya twice in Glory Kickboxing: Once via decision and once via knockout. At UFC 281, Alex Pereira overcame adversity by knocking out Israel Adesanya to become the UFC middleweight champion. Alex Pereira and Israel Adesanya would rematch at UFC 287, where Adesanya got his revenge by knocking out Alex Pereira. At UFC 291, Alex Pereira defeated former light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz to earn a vacant UFC light heavyweight championship fight against former light heavyweight champion Jiri Prochazka at UFC 295. Alex Pereira knocked out Jiri Prochazka to become UFC light heavyweight champion and became the fighter to reach UFC double champion in the quickest time of 2 years. Alex Pereira then fought Jamahal Hill at UFC 300 on April 13th as the main event.
