Alex Pereira has got UFC fans in awe. After an impressive performance at UFC 307, one of his locker room videos earned him massive appreciation from fans.

Pereira put on a showcase of his striking mastery during his encounter with Khalil Rountree Jr. He may have faced some challenges during the initial rounds of the fight, but he showed why he's the champion as the fight progressed. 'Poatan' eventually earned a TKO victory in round four after battering Rountree almost throughout the entirety of the round.

UFC fans have been showering Pereira with praise. But a recent tweet from @ChampRDS revealed that even Pereira's locker room training footage was enough to earn him appreciation from fans.

Magomed Ankalaev's manager predicts devastating consequences for Alex Pereira if they fight

Magomed Ankalaev has been trying to get a shot at Alex Pereira's light heavyweight gold since his victory against Johnny Walker at UFC Vegas 84 but hasn't succeeded yet. However, his manager, Ali Abdelaziz, recently predicted that a Pereira vs. Ankalaev fight would mean the end of 'Poatan's' title rule.

Abdelaziz appeared in an episode of the 'Submission Radio' podcast where he opined Pereira won't be able to withstand Ankalaev's striking due to his deteriorated chin.

"I truly believe, I think he will knock out Alex Pereira…I believe Alex’s chin is a little bit better at light heavyweight, but the man’s been in so many wars and I believe his chin is not there and it's normal. It's not knocking on him. I don't think his chin is there 100%."
