GLORY Kickboxing superstar Alex Pereira has just been signed to the UFC following the final fight on his GLORY contract.

Pereira (3-1) may not have the most impressive MMA record, but he is a certified killer in kickboxing. Not only does he hold two victories over current Middleweight champion Israel Adesanya, but he is the only man to knock out the Kiwi striker.

Pereira is now 34 and was last seen in the cage in November 2020 where he scored a highlight reel knockout under the LFA banner.

Pereira has now been signed to the UFC, with his debut set against Andres Michailidis (13-4), who has gone 1-1 in his tenure in the Octagon so far. They will face off at the UFC 268 event set for November 6th.
