Event preview, predictions
Alex Pereira defends his Light Heavyweight crown against the man he won the belt against, Jiri Prochazka. The two heavy hitters have swooped in to save the show at the last minute as UFC 303 was initially meant to be headlined by Conor Mcgregor who was forced to pull out of his fight against Michael Chandler due to an injury. Nevertheless, the show must go on!
The two light heavyweights fought for the vacant title last November after Jamahal Hill was forced to vacate the championship after suffering an achilles injury. ‘Poatan’ was victorious, knocking out his Czech opponent in the second round, and as a result, became a two-weight world champion in what was a fascinating contest while it lasted.
Since claiming the championship, Pereira spectacularly defended his belt, knocking out the former champion, Jamahal Hill in the first round back in April at UFC 300. Prochazka has also been active since the first fight. He beat Aleksander Rakic on the same card in an all-out war, knocking out the Austrian after being down on all the scorecards.
Both men must be praised for accepting the fight on short notice. It has been just over two months since they both fought on the same card at UFC 300 so at least they will be on a level playing field. Alex Pereira will go into the contest as the favorite having already beaten his opponent, and we predict that he will defend his title successfully again this weekend.
