Pereira held the golf club in his hand and motioned for Daniel Cormier to lean against the wall and turn his back for a few moments. Subsequently, Cormier was hesitant to do so because of Pereira’s infamous reputation for pulling off pranks. However, Pereira’s coach, Plinio Cruz, had a humorous exchange with Cormier, as he agreed to turn around.

After Cormier turned around and faced the wall, he stood in anticipation of what would happen. Subsequently, Pereira swung his hand rapidly to make a swoosh sound, making it feel like he swung the club hard at DC’s big head. Cormier, who was already hesitant believed the prank and appeared shocked.
