Pereira is on a back-to-back win streak with his victory over Prochazka. He last defeated Jan Blachowicz via split decision at UFC 291. The recent Glory Kickboxing Hall of Fame inductee is on top of the world. He will one day become a Hall of Famer in the UFC due to his accolades and accomplishments.

Alex “Poatan” Pereira has posted many training videos on social media. Pereira has graced with a handful of appearances over the past weeks, some even resulting in callbacks and banters, including Israel Adesanya and Khamzat Chimaev.

Recently, though, the fighter posted a short sparring pad session. The video captured him landing well-connected shots. Pereira then proceeded to defend an incoming leg kick that could have resulted in a slicer with a retro-kick of his own. The backside kick, or “Rabona” in soccer terms, is unique. The unconventional move has amazed many fans.

While the combo is nothing new but a very prominent Muay Thai practice, the fighter has instigated quite the sentiment in his favor. A handful, however, has invoked cult-classic combative movies like “Ong Bak” to state that this is nothing new and Pereira didn’t do anything new. Regardless, the fighter seemingly keeps in shape, ready for whatever comes next.
