Alex Pereira’s victory over Jamahal Hill at UFC 300
Meanwhile, remarkable victory over Jamahal Hill at UFC 300 took on an even more impressive hue with the revelation that Pereira fought through injury.

White recounted Pereira’s remarkable feat, stating,
“His team was like, ‘No he broke his toe two weeks ago.’ He was like, ‘I ain’t losing this opportunity for a f***ing pinky toe.'”
It’s a testament to Pereira’s warrior spirit and his commitment to delivering a show-stopping performance for fans.
