Multiple UFC veterans are set to compete in combat sports events worldwide from March 12-14, participating in mixed martial arts, kickboxing, and custom rules competitions.

Among the notable competitors is Alex Pereira, who is pursuing an unprecedented achievement in UFC competition. Pereira, currently ranked as the top light heavyweight fighter, previously held the number one position in the middleweight division.

Pereira's combat sports background extends beyond the UFC, having also achieved the top ranking in both middleweight and light heavyweight divisions in Glory Kickboxing. His current pursuit involves attempting to win championships across multiple UFC weight classes.

The weekend's events showcase the continued activity of former UFC athletes across various combat sports platforms and rule sets. These competitions demonstrate the diverse career paths available to mixed martial arts fighters beyond their UFC tenures.

The events span multiple days and locations, reflecting the global nature of modern combat sports competition and the international appeal of fighters with UFC experience.
