UFC Champion Pereira Plans to Take a Break to Heal

UFC light-heavyweight champion Alex Pereira of Brazil has announced that he will take a break and give himself a well-deserved rest after his third title defense.

Pereira defeated Khalil Rountree by fourth-round technical knockout on October 6 at UFC 307.

Alex Pereira
I think I deserve some rest after this. I'm not going to say anything about my team and their condition. So now, I think I want to rest my body. I've got some trips to go on, and then I'm going on a trip to Bali just to relax. Let's see what's next. - Pereira said at the post-tournament press conference.

Pereira's previous fight was at UFC 303 in June 2024, defeating Jiri Prochazka by technical knockout in the second round. He has 12 wins and two losses on his record.

Rountree previously stepped into the octagon in December 2023 at UFC Fight Night 233, defeating Anthony Smith by TKO in the third round. He has 13 wins and six losses to his name. One fight was ruled a no contest.
