Just like in movies, where a great story makes the film stand out, in sports, it’s the athlete’s story that makes them shine. Conor McGregor’s journey from Dublin to superstar status is the story that sets him apart. Likewise, the rise of Alex Pereira from years of hard work at a tire shop to becoming a top combat sports star is incredible. His dedication turned him into a major name. Recently, he created a buzz among the UFC fans when he revisited the shop and even started working there.
Even as a UFC champ, Pereira stays connected to the hard work that has supported him in the past. Before hitting it big, he was hustling at a tire shop and helping out as a bricklayer’s assistant. Now, he’s back at the tire shop, sharing on Instagram that he’s repairing the tire again. It’s like he’s going back to his roots and showing respect for where he began, getting fans excited as he returns to his old job. Here’s how they reacted:
One fan jokingly said Pereira has returned to basics, doing exactly what he was up to years ago.
One fan noted Pereira’s dedication, saying he puts in serious work no matter what he’s doing.
