Poatan wants to defend the belt in a very fast pace, in a row, two times.
Pereira had several years earlier in his kickboxing career where he fought six or seven times in one year. There's a pretty big difference between doing that for a regional kickboxing promotion and the UFC.

Poatan would be fighting former champion Hill, and then facing the next No. 1 contender a month later.
Pereira sounds driven to make it happen.
Deception
(30%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Pereira has larger ambitions for the year than just defending his title at UFC 301. However, there is no evidence to support this claim and it seems like a stretch based on what was stated in the article.
The statement 'Pereira has larger ambitions for the year' is not supported by any evidence or facts mentioned in the article.
Fallacies
(70%)

Additionally, there is a dichotomous depiction of Brazil being both an ideal location for UFC 301 and not so great due to its proximity to UFC 300. The article also contains several examples of informal fallacies such as the use of exclamation marks in quotes.
