“I Know He Felt That Last One”- Daniel Cormier Getting Calf Kicked by Alex Pereira Has Fans in Splits Over Ex-UFC Champ’s Reaction

Alex Pereira is all set to face Jiri Prochazka in his upcoming title fight. The former middleweight champion has jumped divisions following the footsteps of his mentor and friend Glover Teixeira and what is even more intriguing is that he will be facing Prochazka who took Teixeira’s title last year.

UFC 295 is just mere days away and the main card is stacked with high-stakes fights. The combat community is already anticipating an exhilarating match since both fighters are former champions and they are going to fight for the light heavyweight title. Amidst the commotion, Daniel Cormier tried to test his mettle against the former kickboxing champion. However, things didn’t go as planned.

Daniel Cormier gets a first-hand experience of Alex Pereira’s kicks

The former dual weight champion, Daniel Cormier, and Alex Pereira had a conversation on the pretext of UFC 295. During the conversation, Cormier stated that he wanted to test Pereira’s kicking prowess. Cormier challenged ‘Poatan’ to kick him in the calves, starting slowly but increasing the power as time goes by.

One of Cormier’s poorest decisions during the interview, it was evident how even a minor strike from Pereira caused him considerable pain. And as Pereira escalated the force, the intensity of his discomfort grew significantly. Fans, as soon as they witnessed this, took to the internet to express their hilarious reactions.

Some of the reactions are as follows:-

Crazy DC fought at the same division as Alex and even a division higher

Why DC acting like 100 years old 

Imaging this fight back in the day  would’ve been nuts

I know he felt that last one

That ‘Haaahh?” after 3rd kick was like ,”How u like that?”

Prime DC would be babying Pereira

Dude how the bone sounds it’s crazy and it’s just a kiss

The fans’ reactions to Alex Pereira’s kick leave no room for doubt; they are astounded. They draw parallels and express amazement that ‘DC’ once competed in the same division, and even above it. Some fans even wonder why Cormier was behaving like an old man. However, it’s crucial to acknowledge that Pereira is widely regarded as one of the greatest kickboxers. But will these kicks win him the light heavyweight title?

Will the ‘Poatan’ be enough for Jiri Prochazka at UFC 295?

It would not be wrong to state that Alex Pereira has done marvelous work in his professional fighting career. The former glory fighter has been one of the most dominant forces in the realm of UFC. In his six fights, he has already defeated former champions, as well as clinched the coveted middleweight title. However, is Pereira ready to take on the former light heavyweight champion who is still undefeated?

Despite Pereira’s resolve to get the title, ‘Poatan’ has another reason that is fueling his ambition to win the belt. The former middleweight champion wants to win the title for Glover Teixeira. Pereira stated, ” I want to go with a very positive mindset… But looking into the other side of being able to bring Glover his belt back and put it back in the gym, that means a lot to me.”
