Brazilian Alex Pereira impressed this week by shattering a record previously held by Francis Ngannou. Then this weekend before defending his UFC belt, he also created a buzz because of his incredible weight gain in less than 24 hours.
Next night in Las Vegas, Alex Pereira will defend his light heavyweight belt in a clash of titans against Jamahal Hill in the main event at UFC 300. Champion of the category between January and July 2023, the American will try to dethrone one of the new darlings of MMA. Enjoying immense popularity, the Brazilian has also created a buzz this week. He wanted to test himself and know the power of his right on a machine specially dedicated to that. And against all odds, his punch was measured at 191,796 points. The record holder for the most powerful punch so far was Francis Ngannou. But his reference mark was 126.161 points, a shattered score.
Just like its weight. During the traditional weigh-in this Friday, the scales showed a weight close to 93kg. Nothing is more logical in this -93kg category. However less than 24 hours later, “Poatan” published a story Instagram, widely relayed subsequently on other social networks, in which he lends himself to the weighing exercise a second time. But this time, it has an insane weight of 105kg! Or an excess of 12 kg. His impressive weight gain could also increase before the fight. Crowned in the middleweight category (-84kg) before successfully moving up to light heavyweight in 2023, Alex Pereira should not really have any trouble climbing the heavyweight ladder if the desire takes him in the future.
