Footage of Alex Pereira signing a female fan on her chest has set the combat sports realm abuzz. The video elicited mixed reactions, with some hailing Pereira and others criticizing him.

Pereira is a former Glory Kickboxing middleweight and light heavyweight champion and a former UFC middleweight champion. The Brazilian MMA great is the reigning UFC light heavyweight champion and has been beheld as one of the biggest stars in combat sports in recent years.

As such, 'Poatan' has also grown to be a prominent social media influencer, utilizing his fight game success and crossover appeal in the broader pop culture realm to deepen his bond with his fans. He's known to be incredibly friendly while meeting with his supporters.

In a recent interaction, a female fan seemingly requested his autograph on her chest. The fan also appeared to reference Pereira's catchphrase, 'Chama.'

The striking savant obliged and signed the fan on her chest. The fan was later seated next to him in what appeared to be a celebratory occasion at a public place, which some believe was a club/pub.

Meanwhile, some fans seemingly took more of a middle-ground approach to the footage. They alluded to the light heavyweight kingpin's upcoming fight against archrival Magomed Ankalaev and expressed their concern about whether or not he's focused on the fight.

"We don't support it, it's indecency and n*dity"
