The UFC CEO, Dana White has finally announced the long-awaited announcement for the UFC 300 main event. As promised, the historic event features one of the most popular fighters in the newly crowned light heavyweight champion, Alex Pereira.

Pereira will be taking on the former light heavyweight king, Jamahal Hill. Hill will finally get the chance to reclaim the title which he has never lost. However, Pereira doesn’t seem even a little worried, given his recent Instagram story.

Alex Pereira posts a story with a tiger following the main event announcement

Despite of Alex Pereira’s cold and stone-faced demeanor at first glance, the UFC two-division champion has shown that he has a humours side to him. From posting hilarious reels to shadow boxing videos to even collaborating with social media influencers, the Brazilian is making quite a favorable impression with the fans.

However, despite his fun demeanor, Poatan is still one of the most dangerous fighters in the world. In just two years in the UFC, Pereira managed to secure two championships in two different divisions. On his path to winning gold, he laid waste to 4 former and future champions of the promotion.
