Alex Pereira revealed his weight just days before his fight with Magomed Ankalaev

Alex Pereira has revealed how much he weighs just days before his fight with Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 313 in Las Vegas.

Alex Pereira will face the defense of his welterweight championship belt on Saturday, March 8. The experienced kickboxer, who has hit his stride in the UFC organization, will undergo a real test in a clash with the counter-fighting-oriented Dagestani wrestler.

Alex Pereira revealed his weight just days before his bout with Magomed Ankalaev. Poatan posted a video online in which he stands on the scales and shows his current weight. Alex Pereira weighs 103.2 kg.

The Brazilian therefore has until Friday to shed 10.2 kilograms, in order to be within the 93 kilogram limit at Friday’s weigh-in. This is quite a lot, however, it should be nothing difficult for Pereira, as he has cut a similar amount of kilograms many times in the past.

Alex Pereira and Magomed Ankalaev will meet on Saturday, March 8, in the evening fight of the UFC 313 gala. The duel has been contracted for five rounds, and as much as we believe that Poatan will have no problems filling the weight, one has to admit that making so much weight combined with dehydration can negatively affect the fighter’s condition.
