Pereira is currently on a six-fight winning streak in UFC competition. While the majority of those triumphs occurred at 170 pounds, “Demolidor” made a successful move to middleweight with a 66-second TKO of Andre Petroski in his last outing at UFC Fight Night 230 on Oct. 14.
Poland’s Oleksiejczuk has won three of his last four Octagon appearances — all via first-round knockout or technical knockout. Most recently, the 28-year-old stopped Chidi Njokuani 4:16 into the opening stanza of their clash at UFC Fight Night 225 on Aug. 26.
Despaigne signed with the UFC on the heels of a four-second knockout victory against Miles Banks at Fury FC 84 on Dec. 3. The Olympic taekwondo bronze medalist has finished all four of his professional opponents inside of a round.
Parisian is 2-4 in the UFC after earning a promotional deal on Dana White's Contender Series in 2020. He is coming off an 0-2 campaign in 2023 in which he fell to Jamal Pogues via decision and Martin Buday via first-round submission.
