When did Alex Pereira make his UFC debut?

He made his UFC debut in 2021 and knocked out Andreas Michailidis to begin his UFC stint in style. Since then, he has pretty much-wreaked havoc across the middleweight and light-heavyweight divisions. 

Does Alex Pereira hold any UFC championships?

He defeated Israel Adesanya at UFC 281 to win the UFC middleweight title. Once he lost the belt at UFC 287, he moved to the light heavyweight division. At UFC 295, he bagged the vacant light heavyweight title after defeating Jiri Prochazka.
