To an unstoppable force like Alex Pereira, a broken foot is just a mere annoyance.
Pereira reclaimed his light heavyweight title in a rematch against Magomed Ankalaev in the main event at UFC 320 last month. While Pereira made quick work of Ankalaev in 80 seconds, “Poatan” suffered a broken foot in the process. The UFC’s doctors advised Pereira to wear a walking boot for an extended period, which the Brazilian initially did religiously.
However, when hearing he had to keep the boot on for another six weeks, he soured and removed it.
