We know what happens when bodybuilders try to grapple UFC stars.
But when it comes to armwrestling, the jury remains deadlocked. UFC light heavyweight champion, Alex Pereira, recently crossed arms with pro bodybuilder and Netflix “Physical 100” star, Kim Kang Min, during a sponsored trip to South Korea.
The pair separated midway through the match, presumably to avoid risk of injury.
That’s because “Poatan” is scheduled to defend his 205-pound strap against No. 1-ranked title contender, Magomed Ankalaev, atop the UFC 313 pay-per-view (PPV) card next month at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, limiting his ability to go for broke during extracurricular activities.
Donald Cerrone should take notes.
Pereira (12-2) has been criticized for his global galavanting over the last several weeks when he faces what could prove to be his most dangerous title defense to date. The Brazilian recently made the “risky” decision to corner Sean Strickland at UFC 312 in Sydney, Australia.
