Nina-Marie Daniele reveals Alex Pereira's secret to online stardom despite language barrier

UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira continues to trend online, captivating millions of fans worldwide despite speaking little English. According to UFC content creator Nina-Marie Daniele, Pereira's appeal lies in his ability to communicate without words, transcending language barriers.

During an appearance on the Good Guy/Bad Guy show alongside Daniel Cormier and Chael Sonnen, Nina shared her insights into Pereira's viral success. Cormier noted the consistent popularity of videos featuring Pereira, expressing amazement at his universal appeal. Nina credited this to Pereira’s natural charisma and ability to convey emotions and ideas visually:

“People are always telling him, ‘Oh, you should learn English, you should learn this’. But there is something about him that transcends across every language… That happens a lot with Alex.
