Recently, Pereira crossed paths with a bodybuilder and the two decided to engage in an arm wrestling match. 'Poatan' gave a good account of himself and the bodybuilder failed to defeat him.

Several MMA fans took notice of the video and shared their reactions to it in the comments section.
One individual showered praise on Pereira, complimenting his strength.
"Alex Pereira is a freak of nature, a super strong athlete."
Another fan chimed in, claiming that the Brazilian had taught the bodybuilder a humbling lesson.
"Alex Pereira gave that bodybuilder a free physics lesson - turns out muscles don't mean much when you're up against a human forklift."
Not all the responses were positive. One person criticized Pereira for not being able to defeat him.
"He couldn't even hurt a random fat Korean guy and got a boxing lesson by a retired amateur boxer who has never been to Olympics."

What's next for Alex Pereira in the UFC?
Alex Pereira was recently seen in action in October when he defended his title against Khalil Rountree Jr. at UFC 307. The fight headlined the pay-per-view card, which took place at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Pereira outclassed his opponent and defeated him via knockout in the fourth round.
Since then, many MMA fans have expressed their wish to see 'Poatan' matched up with Magomed Ankalaev. Although no official announcement has been made by the UFC yet, there is a good chance of the Dagestani getting a title shot in his next outing.
Ankalaev recently uploaded a post on X where he shared his desired plans for 2025.
"I'm going to beat Alex Pereira in March and I will give him a rematch in July and then I will beat one of these bu*s like Jamahal Hill and Jiri [Prochazka] in Abu Dhabi in October."
