"It's over for the UFC" - Fans react to "English-speaking" Alex Pereira in Nina-Marie Daniele's latest video

Reigning UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira recently surprised fans by speaking English in an interview with Nina-Marie Daniele. The Brazilian fighter has traditionally spoken only Portuguese, relying on translators.

However, in a clip from Daniele’s latest video, Pereira is seen guiding her through a kicking drill, saying, “Kick me… stronger,” in English. The moment sparked laughter from Daniele and instant excitement online.

Fans reacted with enthusiasm in the comments, with one fan jokingly declaring:

“It’s over for the ufc if Alex speaks English”

Another added:

“It’s gonna be insane when he develops full English trash talk.”

Another chimed in and wrote:

"Nina u have helped Alex become more confident. Love this version of him. He’s now speaking English. Love it."

This victory marked Pereira’s third title defense within 175 days, breaking Ronda Rousey’s previous record and securing him the 'Fight of the Night' award, further solidifying his place among the UFC elite.

Magomed Ankalaev dismisses rival Alex Pereira amid recent praise from UFC veteran

Magomed Ankalaev has reignited his rivalry with reigning champion Alex Pereira, taking to social media to subtly mock Pereira's recent cultural celebration.

'Poatan' recently shared footage of a traditional ritual he performed with his tribe, showing pride in his heritage. The video caught the attention of UFC veteran Chael Sonnen.

He commented lightheartedly, saying:

“If you get in a jam and can only choose 1 person to come save you, choose me. But if you can choose 2, this guy [Pereira] could be of help.”

Ankalaev, quick to respond, replied with a photo of himself in his rugged mountain surroundings, implying that his own lifestyle is more fitting for a warrior than Pereira’s:

"I live in the mountain. This guy [Pereira] lives in Connecticut."
