We are less than two weeks away from the light heavyweight title fight between Alex Pereira and Jiri Prochazka. Both fighters will go head-to-head in the main event of UFC 295. Meanwhile, ‘Poatan’ has been using some unconventional training methods to which fans have reacted on social media.

The light heavyweight title was put for grabs after Jamahal Hill suffered an Achilles injury a few months ago. It has been a recurring theme in the division. Nevertheless, the UFC decided to pit Alex Pereira, who recently moved to the light heavyweight division, against former champion Jiri Prochazka for the title. Moreover, it seems like ‘Poatan’ is leaving no stone unturned.

Alex Pereira trains in the forest for Jiri Prochazka

MMA fighters usually prefer training in gyms or inside a cage to prepare for fights. However, Alex Pereira recently took the opportunity to change the environment in which he trains. Like other fighters, fans have often seen him train in a gym, but this time, he preferred to train in a forest along with his teammates. Pereira recently shared a video clip from his recent training on Instagram.

The video Alex Pereira shared showed him engaging in some pad work with boxing gloves. Moreover, he had some other teammates also training with him in the forest. While fans have seen Pereira’s opponent Jiri Prochazka train in the forest, it was a novel sight for them to see ‘Poatan’ do the same. Let’s see what the fans had to say about this unconventional method.

Fans react to Pereira’s unique training method

As mentioned earlier, the fans also believe that Alex Pereira got the idea of training in the forest from his upcoming opponent, Jiri Prochzaka. They also claimed that the Brazilian is looking better than ever ahead of his title fight.

“Bro saw Jiri in the forest training and said bet”

“Poatan is out-forest training jiri”

“My man is looking better than ever”

Moreover, fans have urged the former champion not to get injured since a lot of fighters have suffered that fate as of late. They also stated that the fight between him and Prochazka should take place in the forest.

Please don’t get injured

This is where the fight should take place

Meanwhile, one fan mentioned an imaginary circumstance where they saw Alex Pereira training in the forest while hiking. Moreover, seeing him train in the forest, the fans came up with a new moniker for ‘Poatan’.

“Imagine hiking and running up on Alex training by the stream.”

“King of the jungle”

It remains to be seen if such unconventional training methods can help Alex Pereira edge past Jiri Prochazka at UFC 295. They will be heading the event after the cancelation of the Jon Jones vs Stipe Miocic fight. We will have to wait and see if ‘Poatan’ becomes a two-division champion or if Prochazka becomes a two-time champion.
