Veteran referee calls Pereira’s strikes ‘Ungodly’ after brutal UFC 307 knockout sends his opponent to hospital

In a display of devastating power, Alex Pereira once again cemented his reputation as the most fearsome striker in UFC. At UFC 307, the Brazilian fighter delivered a fourth-round knockout against Khalil Rountree, leaving both fans and officials in awe of his striking abilities.

The Poatan, unleashed a barrage of blows that eventually broke down his opponent, earning him yet another victory in his UFC career. The fight, which saw Pereira systematically dismantle Rountree, ended with a stoppage in the fourth round when the referee stepped in, seeing that "War Horse" Rountree could no longer defend himself.

The damage inflicted by Pereira was so severe that Rountree was reportedly rushed to the hospital for further examination, including a CT scan, after the fight. MMA journalist Alex Behunin noted that the injuries Rountree sustained were concerning enough to require immediate medical attention.

What made this fight stand out even more was the reaction of the veteran referee, Marc Goddard, who officiated the bout. In his 20 years of experience in the sport, Goddard had never encountered such powerful and bone-crushing strikes. According to UFC commentator Joe Rogan, Goddard described Pereira’s punches as "ungodly." This high praise from such an experienced referee speaks volumes about the sheer power Pereira possesses in his hands.

Pereira’s striking prowess has long been recognized, with his one-punch knockout power being a staple of his fighting style. However, for a veteran like Goddard to use such a term as “ungodly” reflects just how special Pereira’s performance was tonight. The impact of his punches was so intense that even Goddard, who has seen countless fights, was left stunned.

With this victory, Pereira not only solidifies his position as a top contender in the light heavyweight division but also reinforces his reputation as a dangerous striker, one that no opponent can afford to underestimate. As for Rountree, the extent of his injuries remains to be seen, but his trip to the hospital serves as a testament to the brutal power of Pereira’s fists.
