Welcome to Midnight Mania!
2024 would possibly simply be the 12 months of Alex Pereira.
“Poatan” picked up his second Gentle Heavyweight title protection over the weekend by knocking out Jiri Prochazka (watch right here), stepping up on short-notice to avoid wasting the UFC 303 battle card … not lengthy after he stepped as much as headline UFC 300 with an equally devastating KO! Pereira has headlined two of the 12 months’s most high-profile playing cards to large outcomes, constructing himself into one of many sport’s greatest stars within the final six months.
It’s definitely been a really profitable 12 months thus far.
Maybe Pereira isn’t achieved including to his legacy in 2024? Previous to UFC 303, Pereira spoke about taking a pair months off, as a result of he has been combating at a really hectic tempo by elite MMA requirements. He might have modified his plans, nevertheless, as Pereira is already again within the health club! Within the video above, Pereira spars in a managed style together with his associate, in addition to doing different reside technical drills like buying and selling combo-for-combo.
Possibly October in opposition to Magomed Ankalaev is a chance? Pereira barely took a shot in opposition to Prochazka, and by his requirements, a visit to Abu Dhabi within the fall isn’t that fast of a turnaround.
The opposite fascinating angle right here is that Pereira is probably medically suspended by the Nevada State Athletic Fee (NSAC). The UFC 303 medical suspension info hasn’t been publicly launched but, but it surely’s pretty commonplace for commissions to advise no contact for every week even in clear-cut, punishment-free victories like Pereira’s knockout win over Prochazka.
Possibly they’re conscious “Poatan” is just constructed completely different.
Insomnia
I’m now totally a believer in Alex Pereira magic, “Poatan” energy, and his Gentle Heavyweight reign. I’m achieved selecting in opposition to him. Pereira without end.
Will we get a knockout or the worst battle of the evening? Basic undercard Heavyweight MMA reserving.
No matter intent, this quote is hilariously disrespectful. Renato Moicano is admittedly good! He has higher wins than Turner by a good margin!

Slips, rips, and KO clips
Good learn on the uppercut, Bigdash was ducking when met with the cross.
Left hand counter shot utterly completed this battle; the remainder of the combo was only for present.
At 16-0 with 13 stoppage wins, simply how good is Magomed Umalatov?

I genuinely didn’t know ouroboros was greater than a logo, one thing that occurred in actuality.
