Alex Pereira is as stoic as they come. A perfect embodiment of toughness, he gives away little to nothing that goes inside his head. Emotions like joy, bliss, shock, and dejection rarely find expression on his face. But for his close friends, the Brazilian fighter is a prankster. And his pal, Glover Teixeira, is his favorite person to pull a trick on.

The two UFC stars, hailing from Brazil, have formed a close-knit bond that involves not only love and respect but bursts of laughter too. The former middleweight champion this time teased Teixeira with an expensive ride, only to pull away the rug at the last moment. Hence, giving his mentor-turned-friend and the fans a hilarious moment to laugh at.

Following this, the former kickboxer turned up at Teixeira’s house and announced, “Hey Glover, come here. Wanna show you something. Come here real quick.” After he flaunted his new ride, Teixeira asked him, “What’s up? What’s this?” Without giving much away, Pereira responded, “Did you like this?”

Dumbfounded by the development, Teixeira mentioned that he had to buy another house and revealed that the UFC star had already gifted him a bike. Finally freeing Teixeira from confusion, Pereira disclosed, “No Dude. This one is for me. I told you I was gonna buy it.”

As soon as Pereira explained the situation, Teixeira teared up after witnessing his pal’s success. “So freaking happy for you, bro. Damn, I even cried. That’s how happy I was for you,” he stated. The comical interaction also swayed the fans as they watched a rare moment when stoic Pereira broke his character.
