We just witnessed a rare sighting of Alex Pereira smiling and having fun. Footage surfaced on X showing the often stoic UFC light-heavyweight kingpin playing bumper cars with UFC legend Robbie Lawler and UFC bantamweight Merab Dvalishvili, amongst others.
The stone-faced ‘Potan’ has been the subject of internet memes for his often stone-faced facade that has stricken fear in the hearts of both fans and fighters alike. But as evidenced by Pereira smiling from ear to ear while violently smashing bumper cars with friends, it seems he is capable of having fun after all.
Jokes aside, this is a very wholesome moment that sheds light on the knockout king’s softer, more jovial side. MMA Orbit shared the video, with the caption saying:
“Alex Pereira, Robbie Lawler, Merab Dvalishvili, and Kayla Harrison driving bumper cars is the content I never knew we needed “
Check out the video below:
Fans loved the content and expressed it in the comments section. One X user who goes by @MFrie29 found it cute how Lawler is driving around Pereira:
“Robbie lowkey just trying to drive around😂”
@Yourtweetiscaca doubled down on this, saying:
“The Second he hit alex he pulled away so fast🤣”
Here are a few more notable comments:
