“Poatan” is having a grand old time in Korea.
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Light Heavyweight champion Alex Pereira is currently in South Korea attending events and seminars, which include sparring sessions.
Last night, a clip emerged from Pereira’s Korea adventure, and it was pretty wild. A “Poatan” fan asked the Brazilian champion for a few body shots, and he obliged. However, they weren’t the average “fight-fan” body shots that happen seemingly once a month.
Pereira hit this guy with six powerful body shots, and the fan just stood there like nothing happened.
Watch the insane clip below:

Is that fan’s body made of Korean steel? Who knows if Pereira was really putting all of his ridiculous power behind those shots, but one thing is for sure – he wasn’t going easy.
As mentioned above, Pereira sparred with a few fighters during his trip.

Oh, and he also danced to the 2012 smash hit Gangnam Style by South Korean artist Psy.
Pereira is just waiting for his next assignment after a historic 2024, which included three title fights at UFC 300, UFC 303, and UFC 307—all resulting in brutal knockouts.
