Alex Pereira is riding high on his remarkable knockout victory over Israel Adesanya at UFC 281. Counting the first two fights they had in kickboxing, this was Pereira and Adesanya’s third outing. And the outcomes have been the same in all the instances. The ‘Poatan’ vanquished ‘The Last Stylebender’ in both kickboxing and MMA.

‘The Poatan’ has become the center of attention in the UFC since he earned the title belt, and several future matchups are being considered. However, one of the very first to challenge the Brazilian was ‘The Borz’ from Sweden, Khamzat Chimaev.

Instead of responding to Chimaev directly, Pereira decided to troll him on Instagram.

Alex Pereira mocks Khamzat Chimaev’s call-outs

Khamzat Chimaev is currently undisputed with a remarkable record of 12-0-0. He has a reputation for smashing any opponent who stands in front of him. And Chimaev was the very first one to call out Pereira post his victory against Adesanya. Instead of answering the call-out, the 35-year-old Brazilian boxer has chosen to partake in trolling here.

Pereira posted a backing-out scene from the movie “Kung Fu Hustle” on Instagram and wrote: “Chimaev choosing an opponent”. ‘The Poatan’ didn’t hold back a bit when taking a shade on Khamzat Chimaev.

During a recent interview with ESPN MMA, Khamzat Chimaev also discussed Pereira’s victory at UFC 281 and provided his analysis of the bout. Adesanya’s ground game, according to him, was on the “white belt” level. And he said that if Pereira found it difficult to get up after Adesanya‘s takedown, Chimaev believes ‘The Poatan’ has no chance of defeating him. “If Israel takes him down, and punching him. And the other guy (Alex Pereira) don’t come up from him, I don’t know how he will come up from under me, brother.”
