Alex Pereira is the UFC champion whose striking power has become the stuff of legends. Known for ending fights with heavy knockout blows, ‘Poatan’ has built a reputation as one of the most feared strikers in mixed martial arts. However, one man from Korea is defying logic as he becomes the center of attention after getting punched by the Brazilian striker.
In a recent viral video, a Korean fan demonstrated an extraordinary tolerance for punishment that left even seasoned fight fans stunned. During what appears to be a meet-and-great or fan interaction, the unidentified fan voluntarily absorbed six full-power body shots from Pereira and somehow remained standing without so much as a flinch.
Body shots are notoriously painful in combat sports. Professional fighters often crumble from a single well-placed strike to the liver or ribs. These targeted blows can instantly drain a person’s energy, causing immediate respiratory distress and overwhelming pain. Pereira, with his kickboxing background and devastating striking skills, is particularly renowned for delivering fight-ending shots.

Each of those fights demonstrated why he’s considered one of the most dangerous strikers in UFC history. But this fan is built differently. Even Pereira was impressed by him not wilting in pain on the ground.

The fan’s resilience became an instant internet sensation. Social media erupted with reactions ranging from disbelief to outright amazement. Some viewers questioned the authenticity of the video, while others marveled at the fan’s apparent superhuman pain tolerance. Even Alex Pereira himself seemed somewhat surprised.
