Pereira has already beaten Jiri Prochazka, but many think the fight was a bit unfair, as the referee stopped it early. Jiri Prochazka is coming off an impressive victory over Alexander Rakic, who he finished in the third round.

Will Pereira remain undefeated in the Light Heavyweight division, or will Prochazka defeat him for the first time and upset the odds?
