“Brazil Was Always My Friend” – Colby Covington and Alex Pereira’s Rare Face-to-Face Link Up in Resurfaced Video Has Fans Wheezing

Colby Covington has transformed himself into one of the most controversial fighters on the UFC roster. Although he gets applauded for his fighting style and dominating performances inside the octagon, ‘Chaos’ is criticized for his comments outside the octagon. It’s safe to say that the UFC world would assume that Covington does not have a lot of fans among the Brazilians.

Keeping this in mind, the former interim UFC champion met one of the most dangerous Brazilian fighters on the planet in the form of Alex Pereira. The UFC fans were stunned to see the two in the same frame in a resurfaced video from UFC 276.

The UFC welterweight posed with Alex Pereira and his team days before his fight at UFC 276. Pereira visited Covington’s American Top Team while in his training camp. The fighters spoke to each other and also clicked a photograph. Covington also shared that he is a massive fan of kickboxing and has studied the sport for 10 years.

The resurfaced video was shared by Freak MMA with the caption, “‘Brazil was always my friend.'” The fans went wild upon seeing the unlikely interaction. A fan said, “‘I love Brazil, it’s a great city.'”

Another social media user commented, “The real Colby, not the showman.”. A fan wrote, “Call the cops bc pereira can rip your head off is we wants to”.

One fan said the reason for ‘Chaos’ becoming a heel, “People do know that he mainly said what he said because he was going to be cut from the ufc? Even if it starts to seem true what if he only said it to save his career?”

Fans had formed a narrative that Covington looked scared. They said, “The face of Colby man he looks so scared.” Another fan added, “Colby does look a little concerned. I won’t say scared, but there’s something about it.” Similarly, one stated, “He looks terrified lol”.
