Alex Pereira is going to be absolutely massive when he steps into the octagon at UFC 307.
“Poatan” puts his light heavyweight title on the line for the third time this year against Khalil Rountree to cap off Saturday’s pay-per-view card in Salt Lake City. After hitting the mark at 205 pounds at Friday’s UFC 307 official weigh-in, Pereira stepped on the scale during a pre-fight meal, and weighed a whopping 230 pounds — a video that originally was seen on Pereira’s Instagram stories.
Check out the fight day weigh-in from the champ in the video below.

Pereira weighed in at 104.3 kilograms, which equates to 229.9 pounds. The two-division title winner captured the light heavyweight championship at UFC 295 this past November with a knockout of Jiri Prochazka. He then went on to knockout Jamahal Hill, and Prochazka for a second time at UFC 300 and UFC 303, respectively.
