Alex Pereira looks for redemption after his UFC 287 fight as he aims to taste victory over Jan Blachowicz. It is sufficient to say that the card has awakened the dormant fans. 

ESPN MMA recently shared the card on Instagram. Without a doubt, the MMA fans took over the comments section in a matter of moments and expressed their awe. Most fans were concerned about Pereira’s premature return after losing the middleweight title. While other fans pointed out how White moved Stephen Thompson and Derrick Lewis to the prelims. Nevertheless, the card has not failed to excite fans.

Fans react to Alex Pereira returning for UFC 291

Dana White announced a stacked card for UFC 291 and sent a wave of frenzy through the internet. Undeniably, Poirier and Gaethje fighting for the BMF title is going to be one of the greatest fights of the year. However, the spotlight was claimed by the former middleweight champion. 

The fans were concerned about ‘Poatan’ returning almost immediately after his defeat at the hands of Israel Adesanya. They believed the Brazilian required a bit more time to heal. Furthermore, the fans were also disappointed at White for moving Lewis’ fight with Marcos Rogerio de Lima and Wonderboy’s fight with Michael Pereira to the prelims.

Here is what the fans had to day:

• Pereira already coming back 3 months after getting brutally knocked out, I don’t like that for him. On top of that he’s fighting the guy that dominated Adesanya with wrestling. Terrible move from him and his team.
• Wowwwww brutal card
• Pereira not coming back too soon after a ko like that ?
• That comain is gonna be awesome to watch
• how is wonderboy (beat kevin holland) a prelim and kevin holland is in main card with a guy who got koed by a wrestler? disrespecting wonderboy but i like it bc i get to see him without having to buy the ppv.
• I rather have wonderboy vs pereira on the main card than tony vs Bobby green tbh….
• No piss breaks on the card 
• Best card of the year if it holds together

What other fights await the UFC faithful?
