With his jaw-dropping knockout of Khalil Rountree at UFC 307, Alex Pereira has established himself as a powerhouse. Think of him as a chart-topping sensation that everyone can’t stop talking about. With that victory, he is no longer just a contender, he is the main character, cementing his spot at the top of the UFC roster. Meanwhile, Renato Moicano stated that the fight surpassed anything you would find in a cinematic production; it was a live spectacle of raw intensity.
For those who missed the fight, it was a rollercoaster of emotions. Pereira was initially rattled when Khalil Rountree landed solid strikes, even getting dangerously close to knocking him down. But the Brazilian superstar didn’t stay down for long. After regrouping in the second round, he bounced back in the third, delivering a devastating knockout that sent Khalil crashing.
Meanwhile, Moicano likened this main event to a cinematic masterpiece, praising the UFC champ for his ability to find the perfect distance that turned the tide in his favor.
He stated, “Fooking movie scene!!! What a performance!!! Chama is the real deal… big congrats to Roundtree perfect first 2 rounds…. Once chama found the distance the fight was over.”
Indeed, Pereira delivered a performance straight out of a movie, ending the fight with sheer dominance. Even Conor McGregor couldn’t help but express his admiration, suggesting that Pereira should consider moving up to a higher division. But the real question remains: will he take that leap?

After the fight, Pereira made it clear that he wasn’t looking to move up just yet. When Joe Rogan asked if he’d consider going for a title in a third division, the Brazilian confidently stated that he’s staying put at 205 pounds for the time being. It seems ‘Poatan’ seems focused on further establishing himself in this division before thinking about any potential changes in the future, as he said he is comfortable in the 205 lbs division.

Looking ahead to his future, it appears that Pereira could be facing Magomed Ankalaev next, provided Ankalaev wins against Aleksandr Rakic at UFC 308. There’s no doubt that Ankalaev would be Pereira’s toughest challenge to date. Should Pereira emerge victorious, it opens the door for him to pursue a heavyweight title, a move that could make him the first-ever UFC fighter to claim belts in three different weight divisions.
