SKOR.id – Petarung Brasil Alex Pereira akan berusaha mempertahankan gelar juara kelas berat ringan (light heavyweight) untuk kali ketiga pada Sabtu (5/10/2024) atau Minggu WIB.

Poatan, julukan Pereira, dijadwalkan menghadapi Khalil Rountree Jr. di Delta Center, Salt Lake City, Utah, Amerika Serikat. Ini akan jadi laga ketiganya sejak berstatus juara dunia kelas berat ringan UFC pada tahun lalu.

Pereira, yang pindah dari kelas menengah (middleweight) usai kalah dalam pertahanan gelar versus Israel Adesanya, mengeklaim sabuk light heavyweight berkat menang TKO atas Jiri Prochazka, November 2023.

Sejak itu, ia telah melakoni pertarungan pertahanan gelar sebanyak dua kali tahun ini, yakni versus Jamahal Hill (UFC 300, April) dan Prochazka (UFC 303, Juni). Keduanya berhasil dimenangkan Poatan.

Sekarang, ia siap menorehkan hat-trick kemenangan sekaligus mempertegas statusnya sebagai penguasa divisi light heavyweight dalam partai utama UFC 307 di Delta Center besok.

Dan Alex Pereira optimistis akan mampu menjatuhkan Rountree di oktagon nanti. Ia meyakini kemampuan serta kecerdasannya dalam bertarung terlalu berat untuk dapat diatasi oleh sang penantang.

“Semua orang memiliki tujuan yang sama di sini, mencoba memenangi gelar atau mempertahankannya. Dan, jika saya dapat melakukannya daripada orang lain, maka itu yang akan saya lakukan,” kata Pereira.

“Khalil adalah petarung yang kuat dan berbahaya. Seseorang yang haus akan kemenangan serta memiliki mimpi. Namun, saya akan menggunakan IQ pertarungan dan pengalaman saya.”

“Saya selalu memberikan tekanan kepada lawan saya. Jika mereka tidak siap, mereka akan menyerah. Tak masalah apakah dengan keputusan (juri), KO, atau submission. Tujuan saya yakni untuk tetap jadi juara.” 

Karena tujuan itulah Alex Pereira belum akan pindah divisi dalam waktu dekat. Ia berencana tetap bersaing di light heavyweight. Sebelumnya, ia mempertimbangkan naik kelas berat atau kembali ke middleweight.

“Saya akhirnya memilih mempertahankan sabuk saya. Bagi saya, untuk pindah ke divisi lebih rendah, itu makan waktu, butuh persiapan. Naik kelas lebih tinggi juga demikian. Jadi kini kelas berat ringan perfek.” 

Selain Pererira vs Rountree, main card UFC 307 juga menyajikan duel-duel menarik, termasuk perebutan gelar kelas bantam wanita antara juara bertahan Raquel Pennington versus Julianna Pena. 

Lalu ada duel petarung veteran Jose Aldo dengan Mario Bautista di kelas bantam, Roman Dolidze vs Kevin Holland di kelas menengah, serta Ketlen Vieira lawan Kayla Harrison kelas bantam wanita.
