‘Poatan’ with a 6-1 professional MMA career under his name, has made his way into the top-5 of the division with just three wins in the UFC. Two of his three wins came via stunning finishes. Therefore, fans have high hopes for the Brazilian fighter.

However, Izzy is considered to be one of the greatest fighters of all time, who can put Pereira’s skills to the test. Hence, it will be exciting to see how this match-up will go down if it comes to fruition.
