“Not a real human” – Fans go wild as Alex Pereira reveals blowing up to 228 lbs ahead of UFC 291 light heavyweight fight

Throughout his UFC journey, Alex Pereira has treated MMA enthusiasts to several spectacular performances inside the octagon, leaving them on the edge of their seats. However, it is not his fighting skills that have caught the fans’ attention this time. Instead, it is his recent weight cut for the upcoming UFC.

The upcoming fight between Blachowicz and Pereira holds significant importance. It is likely to determine a top contender for the vacant light heavyweight belt. The journey to this pivotal moment began with the fighters going through their weigh-ins at the Delta Center. During this process, Pereira weighed in at 205.5 lbs, setting the stage for the fight. But it was what happened after the weigh-ins that stunned the MMA community.

Alex Pereira has encountered his fair share of challenges when it comes to cutting weight for his previous fights in the UFC middleweight division. Struggling to fit into the 185 lbs division, he had to endure rigorous and taxing weight-cutting processes. Now, with the move to the light heavyweight division, his coach and close confidant, Glover Teixeira, has revealed that ‘Poatan’ now weighs approximately 230 lbs.

The news of the Brazilian star’s substantial weight gain has sent shockwaves through the UFC community. Fans were left astounded as Pereira seemingly packed on 25 lbs in a remarkably short span of twelve hours after the initial weigh-in. The video of ‘Poatan’ checking his weight after the ceremonial weigh-ins went viral, eliciting a wide range of reactions from fans.
