Combat athletes are always at each other’s throats! Take Alex Pereira and Israel Adesanya, for example. But, if the athletes hail from two different combat sports, then you have a major crossover that excites both worlds. WBC Champion Tyson Fury and UFC Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones have been beefing for a while now and fans are wondering if this is an indication of a super fight.

It is not uncommon for renowned fighters to call out other fighters from within the promotion or even from a different sport. For example, Conor McGregor fighting Floyd Mayweather or the upcoming Nate Diaz vs. Jake Paul fight. Whether the Jones vs Fury super fight materializes is yet to be seen. But what has both worlds of combat, rattled, is something else entirely. An Instagram post by UFC Middleweight Alex Pereira with Tyson Fury is going viral and fans are losing it.

Are Alex Pereira and Tyson Fury the same height?

Alex Pereira uploaded a picture beside ‘The Gypsy King’ that confused fans. Another post with a video of the two athletes interacting was uploaded by ‘InsideFighting’ on Instagram. This proved beyond doubt that Alex Pereira was really tall. Even WBC Champion Tyson Fury was amazed.

While talking, he exclaimed, “I thought these guys were small but they’re fu***ing massive.” The boxer was taken aback by the sheer size of Alex Pereira, who was almost as tall as him. Now, according to records, Alex Pereira is 6’4″ while Tyson Fury is 6’9″. However, the pictures really pushed a lot of fans to question if Fury was really that tall.

Fans, confused and bewildered, crowded the comment sections of the post, hoping for an explanation. Some people denied that Alex Pereira was 6’4 while others doubted the accuracy of Tyson Fury’s height statistics.

Alex Pereira Reveals Mindset Before Facing Experienced Israel Adesanya in MMA Fight

Both the athletes met in Melbourne ahead of the fight between Josh Parker and Faiga Opelu. ‘The Gypsy King’ was ringside in support of his friend Parker. Interestingly, Pereira’s old nemesis, Israel Adesanya was also at the same place and at the same time. It didn’t take long for the fans to figure that out, since Adesanya and Fury were seen interacting prior.

The fact that Alex Pereira is nearly ear-to-ear with Tyson Fury is a shocker. No matter what the numbers say, people will choose to believe what they see, and what they see right now is a glaring contradiction.
