UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Alex Pereira responded to the latest accusations of Jiri PrOCHAZKA about the use of rituals and black magic.
Alex Pereira's turnout to UFC Superstardom is unprecedented. In just a handful of fighting in his MMA career, Pereira has won UFC titles at multiple weight classes and is one of the best pound-for-pound hunters in the sport.
Pereira's striking power and precisions are things that are rarely seen in MMA. After a decorated run in kickboxing, the transition from Pereira to MMA has been historical, which eliminates all contenders with the exception of Israel Adesanya and middleweight Bruno Silva.
After Jiri PrOCHAZKA had experienced the power of Pereira first in their first fight on UFC 295, he asked Pereira's integrity in before their UFC 303 brake match. He accused Pereira of using Voodoo, Rituals and Black Magic to improve his fighting characteristics and career.
PrOCHAZKA recently doubled in his positions in a recent appearance about the Joe Rogan experience. While he is preparing for his next title defense at UFC 313, Pereira felt the need to rectify the record.

Alex Pereira refers to Jiri Prochazka's newest 'Black Magic' accusations
In a recent performance on the Ariel Helwani show, Pereira responded to the statements of PrOCHAZKA about him using a shaman and black magic to promote his UFC career.
“All the respect for him, but not a man, I am a godly man,” said Pereira about PrOCHAZKA. “I have God in my heart … He just says these things, I have never participated in one of those things, I am a normal person. If he really believed, take a doll, bind my hands and feet and fight Then against me, like that is going to work?
“With all due respect for him, and to be honest, if we went and fought again a third time and if he had said all this [magic claims] Apart from and just fighting, I think we can give a much better fight … I don't want to fight against guys who cheat, no, I want to fight them on their best … on their prime. A man who is ready gets the fire in him and thinks: “I want to beat this guy.” And if they are at their best, there is no reason to talk about things like this. “
PrOCHAZKA made a strong case for a third shot on Pereira with a wild knockout victory over Jamahal Hill on UFC 311 earlier this month. His short-notice gamble against Pereira on UFC 303 did not pay because he lost due to the second round of TKO.
Alex Pereira vs. Jiri Prochazka 3 is on the table before 2025 Clash
The claims of Procazka are bound by the spiritual background of Pereira, more specifically his indigenous origin with the Brazilian Pataxó -Stam. Pereira's nickname, 'Patan', came from his first trainer of kickboxing who helped him discover his spiritual roots.
If Pereira passes the rising competition Magomed Ankalaev on UFC 313, a trilogy with Procazka can be on the horizon. Pereira has also plagued a potential movement to heavyweight to fight Jones or Tom Aspinall for the linear heavyweight belt.
The positions of Procazka on the spiritual appearance of Pereira are head-scratching, but not entirely off-base. The rapid climb of the UFC Light Heavyweight Champion to a fighting legend is something that is rarely seen in mixed martial arts.
