LAS VEGAS – In the electrifying main event of UFC 303 at T-Mobile Arena, Alex Pereira showcased his dominance by delivering a brutal second-round knockout to Jirí Prochazka. The victory marked Pereira’s successful retention of his light heavyweight championship and further solidified his reputation as a formidable force in the octagon.
The highly anticipated rematch between Pereira and Prochazka, which came just months after their initial showdown, unfolded with intense action as both fighters seized the opportunity to showcase their skills on short notice.
