Who would have believed that Alex Pereira could ever be defeated, that too, in terms of punching power? The Brazilian is one of the most terrifying strikers in the division and his record is proof of that. ‘Poatan’ holds a record of a 75% KO/TKO rate in his UFC fights, which highlights his biggest strength. However, he now sits in the second spot in terms of power as a popular streamer and internet personality ‘IShowSpeed’ has dethroned him.

The pair recently met at the ‘Fanatics Fest,’ and the streamer pulled off something that not many have done to date. Speed outshined the light heavyweight champion in terms of power, but injured himself in the process. Let us take a closer look at what exactly happened.

‘IShowSpeed’ ended up on the floor after beating Alex Pereira’s record

The whole incident caught the attention of the fans when UFC CEO Dana White shared the video on his Instagram Story. Alex Pereira was the first one to step up to the punching machine to test his brutal power. The former dual champion unleashed a powerful strike and landed with an impressive score of 907. However, his record was very short-lived after Speed tried his hands at it.

Comparing him to ‘Poatan’ there is a massive difference in their physicality. However, he surprised everyone with his power when he recorded a score of 921, beating the Brazilian. UFC CEO Dana White was highly impressed by Speed and his punching power. What followed was intense pain for the streamer as he faced massive cramps in his calves.

The 19-year-old took to his YouTube channel to share a video where he could be seen in massive trouble. During the video, he said, “Oh s..t this hurt. Oh f..k. It’s my calf. F..k this s..t hurt. Oh, it’s tight. It feels so tight. Ah so tight. Oh it feels like it’s oh my god. It feels like a blood clot. It’s so tight. Oh, I never felt this before. Let me walk it off let me walk it off. No, I am not hurt, it just feels tight. I just jumped I just jumped. I jumped super high then I got a cramp.”

Fortunately, he recovered from the cramps and it seems he now wants to try his hand at MMA. The 19-year-old also has an opponent, but Dana White feels his choice is not correct.

Dana White wants Speed to reconsider his decision of wanting to face Alex Pereira

Facing Alex Pereira inside the Octagon is one of the daunting tasks for any UFC fighter. That intense look and those extraordinary skills are tough to deal with. However, it seems 19-year-old ‘IShowSpeed’ isn’t quite bothered about it. After beating ‘Poatan’ once, he now wants to try his hands in MMA. Speed has no experience of professional MMA fighting, but has shown his interest in fighting the Brazilian.

During the Fanatics Fest event, while speaking to Dana White, he said, “You said that you’re going to give me the fight, bro.” The UFC CEO was quick to find him a new opponent in Adin Ross, but the 19-year-old surprised White with his pick. Speed exclaimed that he wanted to make his MMA debut against Alex Pereira. The UFC head honcho was not only surprised, but also worried about the popular streamer.

He then shared some words of advice for the 19-year-old saying, “That’s a bad idea, have you seen him? He’s here, I think when you see him you’ll change your mind.” Despite warnings, Speed was adamant to take on Pereira next in his UFC debut. Hopefully, the fight never happens as it will cause a lot of damage to the social media star.
