Hailing from Brazil and honing his craft at Teixeira MMA & Fitness, Alex Pereira built a reputation as a powerful striker before entering mixed martial arts. The orthodox fighter previously achieved major success as a two-division kickboxing champion. After moving to the professional cage, he quickly secured significant victories against Sean Strickland and Bruno Silva. His rise culminated in winning the middleweight championship after defeating Israel Adesanya.
Entering the September 2023 event, Pereira holds an overall record of eight wins and two losses. His recent activity shows a split decision victory over Jan Blachowicz in July 2023. Prior to that contest, he suffered a knockout loss to Israel Adesanya in April 2023, which followed his championship win against the same opponent in late 2022.
