A UFC 303 card featuring some outstanding finishes and no small amount of drama concluded with Alex Pereira defending his light heavyweight belt against Jiří Procházka.
Pereira and Procházka first met for the vacant light heavyweight belt late last year at UFC 295, and after both men collected wins on UFC 300 they were called in to save UFC 303 following Conor McGregor's withdrawal from the main event due to a toe injury. The opening round of the fight saw both men take some time to feel each other out before Pereira dropped the challenger right as the bell sounded, and at the start of the second round the champion immediately landed a thunderous head kick and finished Procházka with strikes on the ground.
Other standout results from UFC 303 included Ian Machado Garry extending his unbeaten record against Michael "Venom" Page in the main card opener, and the latter half of the card's prelims also provided some sensational knockouts from Payton Talbott, Joe Pyfer, and Jean Silva.Drew is an MMA writer that regularly watches regional events in addition to major promotions such as the UFC, PFL, Bellator, and ONE Championship.
