MMA fans took notice of the video and flooded the comments section to share their thoughts.

One fan suggested that Pereira and Seagal should have had a sparring session, similar to the one between Sean Strickland and Sneako, writing:

"Seagal and Pereira should’ve done a Strickland/Sneako style sparring round."

Another individual showered praise on Pereira for his humility, saying:

"The respect Alex shows is incredible. I am a pretty big Segal doubter, but that does not mean he has not learned a few techniques that will benefit Alex. The respect and humbleness is what makes Alex a PEOPLE's champ!"

One person joked that Seagal could have been a four-division champion in the UFC, saying:

"What a master, he could've been the first quadruple champ in the ufc, legend."

One user suggested that the Brazilian was about to venture into acting after parting ways with MMA:

"Good to see POATAN is training to become an actor after he retires from MMA."
