ALEX PEREIRA is still the UFC’s light-heavyweight champion following yet another brutal knockout history.
The Brazilian made his second defence of the 205lbs throne early on Sunday morning in the main event of UFC 303 in Las Vegas.

Standing between the fan favourite and a second title defence in just over two months was former opponent Jiri Prochazka, whom he knocked out last November to claim the then-vacant title.
And ‘Poatan‘ replicated that feat in a similarly devastating fashion.
The 35-year-old dropped Pereira in the final seconds of the first round.
And he closed the show seconds after the restart with a hellacious head kick.
THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..
