Alex Pereira has knocked out some of the best fighters in the world. There’s one guy they might want to go to for advice if they ever face “Poatan” again.
The UFC light heavyweight champion entertained a fan’s request to let him feel Pereira’s legendary power and, amazingly, the fan lived to tell about it.
Pereira posted a clip of the interaction to his Instagram Stories, which can be seen below (h/t @DovySimuMMA):

Pereira starts off with leg kicks, which the fan takes with a smile. Then the UFC star put on a boxing glove so he could throw out a few body punches.
The fan stands there and absorbs several straight right hands square to the midsection from Pereira, seemingly growing bolder with every strike. It’s doubtful that Pereira was putting more than 50 percent into any of those punches, but it was still an impressive sight, and Pereira looked like he approved of the fan’s mettle afterward.
As for his next official fight, Pereira awaits his next booking, with recent UFC 309 main event victor Jon Jones eyeing a champ vs. champ superfight, and No. 1 light heavyweight contender Magomed Ankalaev also waiting in the wings.
