Social media banter has ingrained itself into the life of UFC fighters. It gives them a stage to interact with the fans, promote their forthcoming fights, and build their individual brands. Additionally, they occasionally joke around with other UFC competitors as well, which is not new in the UFC scenes. It potentially ends up sparking the attention of the fans as well.

The onlookers witnessed the same scenario when middleweight fighters Alex Pereira and Paulo Costa got into a tiff. After retweeting a video of Pereira’s sparring session on Twitter, Costa was seen pulling Pereira’s leg . The scenario got interesting when ‘Poatan’ came with a befitting reply. It was enough to spark the attention of the fans .

Alex Pereira’s remarkable response has received praise from fans.

While Pereira and Dillon Danis were having a challenging training session, a video from that session surfaced on Twitter.

It began when costa retweeted a post from a fan quoting ” bro alex pereira got down by some random dude who’s 50lbs lighter than him.”

Following this Pereira came into the scene with his stunning counter.

Pereira tweeted “With this kind of training I became champion”

Given this minor banter fans wasted no time in sharing their reactions. They sought to communicate their true feelings through tweets. Paotan’s supporters were sincerely evident.

The associated fallout

Although they never had the chance to engage in combat together, this little banter could serve as a foundation for such an encounter in the future.’The Eraser’ is a powerful middleweight fighter known for his aggressive style and knockout power. Pereira on the other hand is a multiple-time Glory Kickboxing Middleweight Champion. Poatan has demonstrated exceptional striking technique and knockout ability. Both are potential candidates to display an intriguing contest.

Surely Poatan has shown an immense amount of courage not only inside the octagon but outside as well. He never takes a step back when it comes to countering anyone. He surely looks confident about his upcoming fight against Jan Blachowicz.

Will he prevail? Will his Light Heavyweight journey suffer a premature end? Let us know in the comments below.
