Hailing from Brazil, orthodox fighter Alex Poatan Pereira is a decorated athlete who has claimed championship gold in both the middleweight and light heavyweight classes. He prepares for his bouts at Teixeira MMA & Fitness, located in Danbury, Connecticut. Known for an elite kickboxing pedigree, a potent left hook, and a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, his prominent accomplishments include defeating former titleholder Israel Adesanya.
Entering UFC 329 with a professional record of 7-1-0, Pereira’s recent outings have been highly competitive. In April 2023, he suffered a knockout loss to Israel Adesanya due to punches. He rebounded in July 2023 by earning a split decision victory over Jan Blachowicz.
