This marks the fourth UFC title fight for Pereira (9-2), who
previously claimed the middleweight strap by knocking out Israel
Adesanya in 2022. After losing the belt back to “The Last
Stylebender,” the Brazilian moved up to light heavyweight and
picked up wins over Jan
Blachowicz and Jiri
Prochazka in a vacant championship affair. “Poatan” officially
weighed 205 pounds exactly.
Making a quick return from an Achilles injury, Hill (12-1, 1 NC) is
riding a four-fight win streak. Prior to defeating Glover
Teixeira in a title fight, “Sweet Dreams” picked up wins over
Thiago
Santos, Johnny
Walker and Jimmy
Crute. The American will look to reclaim the belt he never lost
and stepped on the scale at 205 pounds on the dot.
