• MMA record: 11-2
• UFC title defenses: 2
• Key wins: Israel Adesanya, Jirí Prochazka, Jamahal Hill

Is it too soon to put Alex Pereira at the No. 5 spot? I don’t think so!

After his UFC debut against Bruno Silva, ”Poatan” only faced reigning, former or future champions.

Despite his rather unique UFC rise, which could make it difficult to rank his potential as a fighter, you can’t deny that Alex Pereira is one of the most fascinating and impressive fighters to ever compete inside the octagon.

Pereira is scheduled to make his third title defense against Khalil Rountree Jr. at UFC 307 on October 5.
