Alex Pereira inducted into the Hall of Fame

Before the duel with Jiri Procházka, Alex Pereira reached an unexpected milestone. Namely, the UFC star switched to MMA after a successful career in kickboxing, which he retired from in 2021.

The most prestigious brand in the world of kickboxing is the Glory organization, and in that organization the Brazilian was a two-time champion, having dominated the middleweight and welterweight divisions, defeating, among others, Israel Adesanya, with whom he also had two duels in the UFC, winning one and losing the other.

It is worth noting that he is only the third man to receive this honor. Joe Valtellini and former UFC fighter Semmy Schilt did it before him.
