Alex Pereira, the UFC light heavyweight champion known for his formidable skills, recently showcased his power on a YouTube show and plans to return to the octagon in early 2025 after a break following his successful title defenses in 2024.
Alex Pereira is a terrifying figure—even when he’s dressed as a bunny. Yes, you read that right.
Recently, the UFC light heavyweight champ appeared on the Podpah YouTube show. There, he was dared to throw a body punch at Brazilian comedian Diogo Defante.
Pereira started with a few gentle taps. Just to test the waters. Then, he decided to go with “50 percent” power. Ouch! Defante hit the ground in agony.
“Poatan” plans to take it easy for the rest of this year. After all, he’s defended his UFC title three times in 2024 already. Quite the feat, knocking out Jamahal Hill, Jiri Prochazka, and Khalil Rountree from April to October.
Looking ahead, he’s aiming for a comeback in early 2025. Fans are buzzing about who he’ll face next. Most likely, it’ll be Russian sensation Magomed Ankalaev. Ankalaev’s on fire, having just bested Aleksandar Rakic at UFC 308 in Abu Dhabi.
