UFC champion Alex Pereira leveling up his skills with the help of ’90s action movie star Steven Seagal

Alex Pereira is leveling up his skill set.

After just seven fights inside the Octagon, ‘Poatan’ has already etched his name in the history books, capturing both the middleweight and light heavyweight titles during his already iconic run. A year after his earth-shattering knockout of Israel Adesanya to claim the 185-pound crown, Pereira moved up to 205, taking the division’s vacant title after finishing former champion Jiri Prochazka in the second round of their UFC 295 headliner.

Ready to elevate his fight game above the laws of nature and put his next opponent under siege, Alex Pereira made the executive decision to call in ’90s action film star Steven Seagal.
