If Alex Pereira gets his wish, he will be fighting for a title in a third division after stopping Jiri Prochazka for the second time.
In the main event of UFC 303 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Pereira (11-2 MMA, 8-1 UFC) met Prochazka (30-5-1 MMA, 4-2 UFC) for a short-notice title rematch after the original headliner Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler fell apart. Pereira’s legacy as one of the most dangerous knockout artists grew by stopping Prochazka just 13 seconds into Round 2.
After a very lengthy, intense staredown, the hard-hitting light heavyweights went to work. Pereira found the range with a few kicks and clipped Prochazka with a nice left hand early.
