(Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC) Don’t bet against Alex Pereira … at least not in public. Because if you do, “Poatan” may show up in your comments section ready to rip you a new one.
Pereira might look like a stonefaced killer, but most behind-the-scenes reports have him being a pretty nice and chill guy. Just don’t get on his bad side, because he will go after you. We learned that when a reporter revealed that Pereira’s sister Aline (now set to fight on May’s MVP MMA card) was working as an Amazon driver.
“Poatan” didn’t appreciate that angle of the story and made it clear in a long Instagram that the reporter was ‘evil’ and ‘creating discord. ’ Now he’s going after fellow Brazilian UFC fighter Melquizael Costa because “The Dalmatian” dared to pick Jon Jones over Pereira in a hypothetical fight. “Never ask me a question thinking I will stay on top of the wall,” Costa wrote on Instagram.
“If this fight happens it will be two Goats fighting, the best striker vs the best grappling. And yeah I think JJ would win. ” Alex Pereira did NOT take kindly to Melk Costa picking Jon Jones to beat him in a fight 😬 “F*cked up is saying something as if I did something to you.
