The video captures Alex Pereira sitting quietly, fully absorbed in his phone. However, what they were both looking at remains a mystery known only to him and his girlfriend, Merle. She slowly enters the frame, briefly glancing at what her boyfriend is viewing, and, as the caption accurately states, “she doesn’t look too happy.”
Fans foresee the worst for the UFC light heavyweight
Fans joined in on the fun and had hilarious reactions and comments on the video. “Watching Adesanya knockdown for the 100th time” tweeted one fan referring to the rivalry both the former UFC middle weight champions share.
While some fans seemed convinced he was stalking his previous opponent Israel Adesanya, others were more concerned for the person who took the video. “the friend recording letting it happen smh lol” tweeted one fan, “Cameraman looking for a beat down?” tweeted another.
Fans were convinced that “Poatan” might have set himself up for a challenging night, but it could all just be in good fun. Recently, the fighter has gained fame for sharing lighthearted videos featuring himself and his family. On one occasion, he even playfully presented Glover Teixeira with a fake gift of a brand-new Lamborghini just to tease him on camera. This poker-faced fighter has a sense of humor that often surprises fans, going beyond what they give him credit for.
