Alex Pereira first ever to win UFC middleweight and light heavyweight titles
UFC 295 is one for the record books. Former UFC middleweight champion Alex Pereira became the first fighter in promotional history to win titles at 185-pounds and now light heavyweight (205-pounds).
In the main event at Madison Square Garden, Pereira became the ninth fighter to earn titles in two-divisions joining the likes of Conor McGregor, BJ Penn, Daniel Cormier, Jon Jones, Amanda Nunes, Randy Couture, Henry Cejudo, and Georges St-Pierre.
In just seven UFC fights, Pereira has won titles in two divisions including a victory over arguably one of the best ever at middleweight in Israel Adesanya
