UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira may have a fight at the 301st UFC tournament on May 4th in Rio de Janeiro if he successfully defends his title against Jamahal Hill. This was reported by former MMA fighter Josh Thomson.
The bout between Pereira and Hill on April 14 will ꦓheadline the milestone UFC 300 tournament.
I also heard that if🦄 what's♕-his-name gets out of the Jamahal- the 300, he wants to be on that card, Alex Pereira. I guess apparently that was the part of his contract negotiation if he gets the win and comes out healthy that he’s allowed to fight on that fight card. That was apparently part of his agreement to fighting on 300.
