Pereira, a former 185- and 205-pound champ, will make his bid to
\nbecome a three-division title holder when he faces Ciryl Gane<\/a>
\nfor interim heavyweight gold in the UFC White House co-main event.
\n\u201cPoatan\u201d has emerged as one of the promotion\u2019s biggest stars since
\ncoming to the
\nUFC<\/a> from Glory Kickboxing in 2021.<\/p>\n

Holloway, meanwhile, is usually mentioned with Jose Aldo<\/a> and
\nAlexander
\nVolkanovski<\/a> as one of the top featherweights in UFC history. In
\naddition to a lengthy reign as 145-pound champion, \u201cBlessed\u201d also
\nheld the BMF crown before relinquishing the strap to Charles
\nOliveira<\/a> at UFC 326 this past March. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
