This was just what the doctor ordered for the UFC.

Things might break
A few more results here and a few more comebacks and a few more guys agree to fight.

Back to Pereira.
This is what they needed.
This is just what the doctor ordered for himself, for his career.
Obviously, he's got his mojo back.
And now for the UFC to have him back on top is gigantic.
I mean, massive.
Well, he hasn't even been in the UFC for years.
It's one of the greatest runs ever.
And if he does what he wants to do next, he actually goes down as the greatest fighter of all time.
There's no questions asked.
