Alex Pereira and Jiri Prochazka square off in the rematch headlining UFC 303 live on PPV from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday, June 29. The contest pits two-division UFC champion of Brazil against his old rival and former champion of Czech. The championship bout is scheduled for five rounds.
Pereira (10-2) defeated Prochazka (30-4-1) via second-round TKO and landed the vacant UFC 205-pound title last November. Riding a three-fight winning streak, the 36-year-old champion makes the second defense of his belt. The 31-year-old challenger looks to take revenge, reclaim the strap and secure his second straight victory.
The co-main event features Dan Ige (18-7) of Haleiwa, Hawaii up against Diego Lopes (24-6) of Brazil. The pair goes head to head in a three-rounder at 165 lbs catchweight. Ige took the fight on less than a 24-hour notice, on the day of the event, replacing LA’s Brian Ortega (16-3), who withdrew with illness.
Also on the PPV card, Anthony Smith (38-19) of Corpus Christi, Texas faces Roman Dolidze (12-3) of Georgia at light heavyweight. NOLA’s Macy Chiasson (10-3) goes up against Brazilian Mayra Bueno Silva at women’s bantamweight. Plus, Michael “Venom” Page (22-2) of the UK and Ian Machado Garry (14-0) of Ireland clash at welterweight. The full fight card can be found below.
