Pereira can set a new record for the shortest time between three UFC title defenses at 175 days. Ronda Rousey currently holds the record with 189 days.

Pereira’s two straight UFC title defenses are tied for second-most among current champions behind Islam Makhachev (three).

Pereira is 4-0 since moving up to light heavyweight in July 2023.

Pereira’s four-fight UFC light heavyweight win streak is the third-longest active streak in the division behind Carlos Ulberg (six) and Rountree (five).
