Watch: One punch from Alex Pereira with 30% power shocks Adin Ross

Alex Pereira’s rise to the pinnacle of the UFC was nothing short of a spectacle, securing a title shot against longtime rival Israel Adesanya and capturing the middleweight strap just one year into his UFC journey. However, after suffering a loss to Adesanya in their rematch, Pereira swiftly transitioned to the light heavyweight division, where he currently reigns as the champion.

Pereira holds the record for becoming a two-division UFC champion in the shortest timespan and has earned the status of a fan favorite. His intimidating demeanor, coupled with his terrifying one-punch KO power and malicious skill set, are some of the traits that have contributed to the ‘Poatan’ turning his life around.

Video: Alex Pereira stuns Adin Ross

Since gaining immense popularity, Pereira has made several appearances outside the octagon, providing us with a glimpse into his real life. Beyond being a feared fighter, he is adored by the fan base for the natural humor he often exhibits in skits and casual podcasts.

The Brazilian MMA superstar recently featured in a stream with the famous Twitch streamer Adin Ross. Ross made a bold decision to participate in the body-shot challenge with Pereira. Visibly apprehensive, Ross immediately sat down in his chair after what seemed like a light punch from the ‘Poatan’.

This was not however the only punishment Ross took from Pereira. He found himself in a plight of taking a leg kick from Pereira as he asked for it himself. The same scenario repeated itself as Ross began to wobble following a gentle low kick by Alex. This provides a clear testament on the fearsome power of ‘Poatan.’

Adin Ross supports Alex Pereira’s rival Israel Adesanya

Following the release of the sessions Pereira and Ross had, fans hilariously pointed out a video of UFC 287, which was the night Pereira lost to Adesanya in their rematch. In the video, Ross is seen to be in the arena before the fight and asked to give his prediction. He stated that he was in support of Pereira’s rival, Israel Adesanya to “take it home.”

This video might have been a strong reason behind Pereira being so enthusiastic about getting a chance to take it out on Adin Ross. It would be a wise decision for everyone to never bet against the two division UFC champion.
