Pereira Reveals Hand Injury Sustained During Bout with Rountree

Current UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira has announced that he is still suffering from a hand injury he sustained during his fight against Khalil Rountree.

Alex said during a recent episode of the Podpah podcast:

That fourth round, I was throwing jabs and hurting my hand. I swear. I was thinking, ‘My hand must be broken.’ It still hurts. Not all the time, no, but if I squeeze here, it hurts.

Pereira faced Rountree in October of this year in the main event of UFC 307. In that fight, which was stopped in the fourth round, Alex achieved victory by technical knockout and successfully defended his UFC light heavyweight title. He now holds a professional mixed martial arts record of 12 wins and 2 losses.
