UFC 303 International Fight Week concluded last night (June 29, 2024) in Las Vegas, Nevada, featuring a light heavyweight title fight that saw Alex Pereira defeat Jiri Prochazka via second-round TKO to retain his world title. The original headliner Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler, fell apart. Diego Lopes defeated Dan Ige, who accepted the fight on four hours’ notice after Brian Ortega withdrew.
If Alex Pereira gets his wish after UFC 303, he will fight for a title in a third division after cleaning out the light heavyweight division. The legend of Poatan keeps growing.
