Talking about Pereira, he currently boasts an impressive 11-2 record with 9 KOs, having won two titles in different divisions and successfully defended them. In just nine fights, he has quickly become a fan favorite. As Joe Rogan once predicted, ‘Poatan’ has revolutionized the sport, leveraging his kickboxing background to dominate in the octagon. In his last fight, he dismantled Jiri Prochazka for the second time via knockout and is currently riding a hot streak of four consecutive wins.
Meanwhile, Khalil Rountree brings more experience to the table, holding a 14-5 record with an impressive 10 knockout victories. Like the Brazilian superstar Pereira, Rountree is known for his insane power, consistently outclassing opponents with his aggressive style. In his last fight, he left fans in awe after knocking out Anthony Smith last December.
