A recent video from Alex Pereira’s visit to Australia has gone viral as he met with young people battling cancer.
The UFC light-heavyweight champion was in Melbourne before getting the call to headline UFC 303 in Las Vegas, and took time to visit a Children’s Hospital to meet with patients and staff. He brought along his world title belts, which he has won at 205lb and 185lb in a meteoric rise to the top of the sport.
And one fan moved him to tears as he asked the Brazilian to shave his head due to his recent cancer diagnosis. The touching moment was all captured on camera for Pereira’s YouTube channel, and has been clipped across social media.
