Alex Pereira showcased his striking power in a playful exchange with a fan, while he awaits his next UFC fight against potential opponents like Jon Jones or Magomed Ankalaev.
Alex Pereira has knocked out some of the best fighters in the world. There’s one guy they might wanna ask for advice if they ever face “Poatan” again.
The UFC light heavyweight champ entertained a fan’s request to feel Pereira’s legendary power. Amazingly, the fan lived to tell about it.
Pereira posted a clip of this encounter on his Instagram Stories. You can check it out below (h/t @DovySimuMMA):
Pereira starts with leg kicks, which the fan takes with a grin. Then, the UFC star dons a boxing glove to throw a few body punches.
The fan stands firm, absorbing several straight rights to the midsection from Pereira. He seems to grow bolder with each hit. It’s doubtful Pereira used more than 50% of his power, but still, an impressive sight. Afterward, Pereira seemed to approve of the fan’s courage.
Regarding his next fight, Pereira awaits his booking. Recent UFC 309 main event victor Jon Jones is eyeing a champ vs. champ superfight. Meanwhile, No. 1 light heavyweight contender Magomed Ankalaev waits in the wings.
