Alex Pereira is renowned for dropping his opponents; it’s just usually in the octagon, and certainly not while wearing a bunny costume, but on this occasion, he made an exception.
In the name of content creation, ‘Poatan’ dressed up as the furry animal and unleashed a brutal blow to the body of a YouTuber who bit off a little bit more than he could chew.
Alex Pereira sends YouTuber crashing to the ground with heavy body shot
Alex Pereira has undeniably cemented his place as one of the most fearsome punchers in combat sports history.
Throughout his career, the legend has utilized his dynamite hands to render his opponents unconscious in horrifying fashion.
With hands of stone, Pereira has scaled the mountain in not one but two sports, picking up world titles in the UFC and Glory Kickboxing.
Over the years, the 37-year-old has compiled a tremendous legacy, destroying the likes of Israel Adesanya and Jamahal Hill.

With this in mind, the idea of a YouTuber voluntarily stepping up to the plate to take a punch, seems like madness.
However, that’s precisely what Podpah decided to do. Someway, somehow, the social media star convinced Pereira to put on a bunny suit to film one of the wackiest videos MMA has ever seen.
From the very first punch, Podpah, who was dressed as a gladiator, felt the pressure, almost folding in half as the shot detonated.
The second blow dropped him to the floor, but in a testament to his fighting heart, he rose to his feet for one more roll of the dice.
Alas, the third and final hit prompted Podpah to release a howl as he crumbled to the ground.
Realizing his opponent wasn’t getting up, Pereira, still happily wearing his bunny ears, shadowboxed for the camera.
Struggling to come to terms with what they’d witnessed, the fans took to Twitter to voice their opinions.
One said: “This feels like a fever dream’, while another added: “Bro is a killer bunny.”
MMA legend thinks Alex Pereira has a massive advantage over Tom Aspinall
When he’s not knocking out YouTubers, while dressed as a fluffy animal, Pereira is making waves in the UFC.
With the middleweight and light heavyweight belts already on his resume, the warrior would love to make history by stepping up to heavyweight and winning a title in a historic third division.
In order to do that, he’d either have to beat Jon Jones, or should he retire after the Stipe Miocic fight, Tom Aspinall, who’d present an almighty challenge.
However, a UFC icon is convinced that Pereira would have the edge over the Englishman in one particular area.
