Alex Pereira shows off massive weight gain ahead of the UFC 307 main event

Alex Pereira will be absolutely huge 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 conclude Saturday’s pay-per-view card in Salt Lake City. After hitting the 205-pound mark at Friday’s official UFC 307 weigh-in, Pereira stepped on the scale during a pre-fight meal and weighed in at a whopping 230 pounds — a video originally seen on Pereira’s Instagram Stories.

Watch the champion’s fight day weigh-in in the video below.

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