Alex Pereira knows how to keep the social media buzz going. Whether he’s pulling pranks or chopping UFC fighters’ hair, he’s always making headlines for his off-the-cage antics. This time, the Brazilian UFC champ is trending again after busting out the iconic Gangnam Style dance in South Korea. Once again, with his playful and unpredictable side, Pereira has become a social media sensation, proving that he’s not just a force inside the octagon but also a master of entertainment.
Poatan has been taking a well-earned break after fighting three times this year. Currently vacationing in South Korea, he’s already met with actor Don Lee and is soaking in the sights. While enjoying his downtime, he decided to show off his dance skills by busting out the Gangnam Style moves.
This added some fun to his trip and gave fans a glimpse of his playful side away from the octagon. Fans flooded social media with wild reactions, and one fan suggested Alex Pereira’s Gangnam Style dance was just him finishing side missions.
He’s just doing side missions at this point lol

Alex Pereira Likes The Idea Of Jon Jones Fight
UFC 309 ended on a high note with Jon Jones outclassing heavyweight legend Stipe Miocic. After the fight, Jones, who had previously expressed a preference for facing Alex Pereira over Tom Aspinall, got asked about it. At the UFC 309 post-fight press conference, Jones made it clear that the Pereira fight is his priority and that the UFC will likely push for it if they want him back in the octagon. Subsequently, Pereira re-shared the clip of Jones’ answer on his Instagram, signaling that he likes the idea of the matchup.
Indeed, it will be interesting to see if Pereira vs. Jones gets booked, especially since Dana White has only suggested that the winner of UFC 309 should fight Aspinall next. It seems like it’s a great time to be a fan of the sport, with every potential matchup looking exciting.
