UFC CEO Dana White announced that the promotion's light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira entered his fight with Jamahal Hill with an injury.
Pereira defeated Hill by first-round knockout on April 14 at UFC 300.
Dana White
He fought tonight with a broken toe, I thought he broke his toe in the fight. 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." Props to him for that too.
Pereira, 36, last fought at UFC 295 in November 2023, defeating Jiri Prochazka by TKO in the second round. He has ten wins and two losses on his record.
Hill, 32, previously stepped into the octagon in January 2023 at UFC 283, defeating Glover Teixeira via unanimous decision. He has 12 wins and two losses on his record.
