Glory kickboxing champion Alex Pereira has put pen to paper.
Pereira (3-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC), who holds two wins over UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya in kickboxing, has officially signed to compete in the UFC.

Although he did not announce his opponent, a source told MMA Junkie his first fight will be at middleweight against Andreas Michailidis (13-4 MMA, 1-1 UFC) at UFC 268 on Nov. 6.
