At UFC 300 , light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira delivered a stunning KO in the headliner. It seemed like finally, with the Pereira (10-2 MMA, 7-1 UFC) finish of former champ Jamahal Hill (12-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC), there was some clarity in a division that has seen two champs relinquish their titles before defending them thanks to injuries in the past 18 months alone. But then Pereira, a former middleweight titleholder, said he would love a shot to move up to heavyweight to go after a belt in a third division – which would be a UFC first. If the UFC let him do that, the 205-pound division could stall again – and UFC CEO Dana White isn’t so sure it’s such a good idea, anyway
