As part of the UFC 276 main card was a pivotal middleweight bout between contender Sean Strickland and former GLORY champ Alex Pereira. The fight had title implications, with Strickland’s ranking and winning streak, along with Pereira’s two previous wins over the champion in Israel Adesanya back in their kickboxing days.

Pereira likely gets a title shot after this, and he will get a lot of hype.
