Monstrous! Alex “Poatan” Pereira beat Jamahal Hill via knockout in the main-event of UFC 300 in the early hours of Sunday morning (14) in Las Vegas, United States, and retained his middleweight belt.
Headlining this weekend’s historic card, Poatan took no notice of his rival and, after studying and managing to find his distance from the American, launched a left cross that crumbled Hill. Disoriented, he was knocked out by a violent ground-and-pound, ending Pereira’s title defense.
