Spectacular, more spectacular, Alex Pereira. Following Conor McGregor's last-minute withdrawal from UFC 303, Pereira and Prochazka stepped in at short notice. It was a huge risk, especially for the Brazilian champion, to risk his gold belt in a short-notice fight.

But what's the risk for Alex Poatan Pereira? The champion started the first round dominantly, and Prochazka found it much more difficult with his long-range tactics than in his last fight against Alexandar Rakic. At the end of the first round, there was the first major scare when Pereira knocked Rakic down with his signature move, the left hook. However, with only one second left on the clock, Prochazka safely made it to the break.

However, this wouldn't have much impact on the outcome of the fight. Pereira launched a left high kick in the opening action of the second round, catching the Czech fighter cold on the temple and sending him to the floor. A few ground-and-pound strikes later, the fight was over. The kick was so powerful that Pereira dislocated his own big toe, which he casually put back in place after the fight. Another spectacular victory for the tireless Brazilian, who likely now has his sights set on the ultimate goal of winning his third UFC heavyweight belt.
