After his move to light heavyweight, Alex Periera has a chance to avenge his mentor, Glover Teixeira's career-ending loss

Poatan' shifted the division and decided to compete at light heavyweight after losing his UFC middleweight title to Israel Adesanya at UFC 287. The legendary Glover Teixeira is now mentoring him.

At UFC 283, Jamahal Hill defeated Teixeira and clinched the UFC light heavyweight title, leading to his retirement. Alex Pereira has a chance at avenging Teixeira's loss to the reigning lightweight champion. Pereira is scheduled to face Jan Blachowicz at UFC 291 on July 29, 2023. 'Poatan' would keep Jamahal Hill in his scope for a championship bout if he emerges victorious at UFC 291.

Glover Teixeira has also echoed his excitement regarding the prospects of Pereira and Hill facing off in a press conference for the UFC Fight Pass in a video uploaded on FanSided MMA's YouTube channel:

“ When Alex pass (es) Jan for sure I think Jamahal Hill will be amazing fight for Alex and it’d be nice to see him revenge.”
