The main event now has Alex Pereira taking on Jiri Prochazka in the cage for five rounds. With his next title defense, Pereira is all set to acquire a unique record in the promotion.
Alex Pereira: The Main Man
Alex Pereria is all set to fight Jiri Prochazka for the second time in the UFC for his next title defense in the octagon.
