Fans are well aware of Alex Pereira’s devastating punches and powerful leg kicks. The Brazilian fighter, known for his incredible striking power, is currently enjoying some time away from the octagon. ‘Poatan’ has been sharing highlights of his recent trip to South Korea on social media, where he visited several places and even participated in sparring sessions. However, a video of his leg kicks has gone viral, sparking reactions from fans.
The Brazilian fighter, who last competed at UFC 307 against Khalil Rountree and secured a dominant victory, recently surprised fans with an unexpected moment. Pereira was spotted delivering 26 leg kicks to a man dancing in his underwear on stage. This unexpected scene caught fans off guard, with one commenting, “-1000 Aura,” suggesting he lost his intimidating presence since the man didn’t seem affected by the first couple of kicks.
