After dropping the middleweight title to Israel Adesanya last April, Pereira fought Jan Blachowicz to a split decision win in his 205-pound debut in July. In his subsequent outing at UFC 295 in November, 'Poatan' knocked out Jiri Prochazka to capture the vacant 205-pound title.
Hill, meanwhile, is riding a four-fight win streak into this championship fight, with three of those victories coming via knockout. 'Sweet Dream's' only decision win in that stretch came last time out over Glover Teixeira to claim the vacant light heavyweight strap at UFC 283, which he later vacated after rupturing his achilles tendon.
