Alex Pereira hit the mat after getting clocked by American hip-hop artist and songwriter Lil Tjay during a recent sparring session.
Having a little fun with the 22-year-old rapper before his highly anticipated return to the Octagon next month, ‘Poatan’ caught a solid right hand on the chin that immediately knocked him to the ground. Pereira appeared to be completely out before coming to and looking confused about what happened.
Lil Tjay — real name Tione Jayden Merritt — rose to prominence in 2017 with the song ‘Resume’ followed by the release of his breakthrough song ‘Brothers’ which led to a record deal with Columbia Records.
