UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira is a name impossible to overlook these days. Stepping in on short notice to replace Conor McGregor, who got injured a few weeks before his fight with Michael Chandler, Pereira’s star power has skyrocketed. He didn’t stop there, successfully defending his title twice this year, most recently against Jiri Prochazka at UFC 303.

With each of his victories, his fan base continues to grow rapidly. Where he goes, fans can be heard chanting “Chama Chama.” However, after appearing at UFC 300 and UFC 303, Alex Pereira is now in rest mode, enjoying his vacation with his team and family. However, his fans continue to be captivated by his aura, as evidenced by this viral video.

A video uploaded by the MMA-oriented social media page “MMA Orbit” to Twitter/X shows Alex Pereira swimming with his children. As they were swimming, Pereira bumped into a group of teens and asked them for Zyn, an addictive nicotine product that is an alternative to smoking and helps reduce cravings. The video was captioned, “These guys found Alex Pereira out swimming and hooked him up with some Zyn 😭.”

This video caught the attention of fans all over social media, who reacted with hilarious comments on seeing Alex Pereira asking for Zyn.

A UFC champ needs two!

In the video, we see Alex Pereira swimming closely towards the boys who offer him one piece of Zyn, but Pereira asks for two. The boys then give him two. A fan hilariously commented in meme style, noting, “Bro sorry there’s only one left”- Alex ” 🗿.” Meanwhile, another fan, witnessing the chanting of “Chama Chama” by fans, hails him as a certified GOAT, commenting, “Bro is so goated lol.” This reflects the growing admiration for Pereira’s achievements and charismatic presence in the UFC community.

Meanwhile, another fan now considers Alex Pereira a part of the teen group, remarking, “Pereira is just one of the boys.” However, not all the comments were funny. One fan brought up Alex Pereira’s past struggles with alcoholism, speculating that he may still be dealing with it, commenting, “Bro is addicted to those things like cr**k… Now I see why he never drinks.” Another fan joined in, saying, “Alex fiending for em.”

Meanwhile, another fan’s humorous comment that called Alex Pereira wild due to his tribal nature and sometimes his outfit delighted the comment section. The fan remarked, “Feeding a wild poatan.” Finally, another fan appreciated Pereira for taking time from his busy schedule to spend quality time with his family, especially his sons, commenting, “Great family man, respect.”

Currently, Alex Pereira is enjoying his recovery from injury, and fans eagerly anticipate his return to the octagon.
