Alex Pereira has always been known for his knockout power. But now, he’s throwing a comedic punch that’s landing just as hard. The Brazilian knockout artist recently took to Instagram with a cheeky offer that had fans laughing with him.
Pereira launched a “toll-free hotline” for injured fighters. The message was simple: If you are a fighter and are injured and need a replacement fighter, he is more than willing to step in on short- notice. That is the whole business idea.
“Injured? We’ll fight for you! Call toll free 1(800) 555- Chama Pereira and Pereira,” wrote Pereira via Instagram Stories.
This playful stunt has fans and fellow fighters buzzing. It’s a clever nod to Pereira’s reputation as a last-minute savior. He saved UFC 300 after the matchmakers failed to get a main event together. And Remember UFC 303? When the McGregor-Chandler main event fell through, ‘Poatan‘ stepped up to save the day.
Pereira’s offer might be a joke, but it highlights a real issue in MMA. Injuries can derail entire events, leaving promoters scrambling. Having a ready and willing champion on speed dial? Well, that is every matchmaker’s dream!
Khalil Rountree’s Coach Believes Alex Pereira Will Try To Go To The Ground

Wood believes that Pereira will be the one shooting for takedowns in their upcoming light heavyweight title bout. It’s a bold claim that defies conventional wisdom. After all, Pereira’s background is in kickboxing, not wrestling.
“I believe, honestly, my gut, I think Pereira shoots on Khalil. I think he’s the one that breaks game first and shoots on Khalil to try to get that takedown. That’s actually something he has done,” said Wood via ESPN MMA.
Wood’s reasoning isn’t entirely far-fetched. Pereira has shown fleeting moments of grappling in the past. His fight with Israel Adesanya at UFC 281 was a glimpse of that. He managed to score a takedown there. It wasn’t pretty, but it was effective.
