One of Alex Pereira's best highlight moments is one of the biggest events of the UFC ever.
Back at the 2024 UFC 300, Pereira puts lights in fashion for bitter rivals and former UFC champion Jamahal Hill. After Pereira accidentally performs an illegal groin kick, Pereira prevents the referee from intervening, pushes him away, and then extends a left hook from hell, causing Hill to fall onto the canvas. After the knockout, it only takes a few more shots to lock in his first champion defense as a lightweight champion.
