MMA Fans Spellbound over Joe Rogan and Alex Pereira Connecting Over JRE Podcast Despite Language Barriers

Joe Rogan is a great admirer of Alex Pereira. The JRE podcast host had spoken highly of ‘Poatan’ on his platform even before the Brazilian joined the UFC, going on and on about his immense power. ‘Poatan’ is Portuguese for ‘Hands of Stone’, and his power was on full display in his last fight against Jiri Prochazka, whom he defeated to win the vacant light heavyweight title at UFC 295 last month.

This victory made Pereira among a select few fighters to have won titles in two weight divisions. ‘Poatan’ had defeated his nemesis Israel Adesanya at UFC 281 to become the UFC middleweight champion before losing it in their UFC 287 rematch. Pereira is also a former (and only) two-division champion in his kickboxing promotion, Glory. And Pereira is seemingly on a victory tour since becoming champion and will reportedly appear on the most popular podcast in the world.

Alex Pereira to reportedly appear on the JRE podcast soon

After becoming the light heavyweight champion, ‘Poatan’ has been on the interview circuit, giving fans a glimpse into the colorful personality and sense of humor of the otherwise stone-faced assassin. And it seems he will be making an appearance on the world’s most popular podcast soon.

According to a report from MMA Orbit on Twitter, Pereira will be on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast pretty soon. However, the light heavyweight champion is not fluent in English and will be talking to Rogan in Portuguese, taking the help of a translator for the episode.

Fans react to Pereira reportedly going on JRE

Fans were delighted at the announcement and let their thoughts be known in the replies to the tweet. Here is what some of them had to say:

One fan pointed out the obvious language barrier between Rogan and Pereira:

“Joe really gonna talk to Alex’s translator for 3 hours”

Another had a couple of talking points they were sure Rogan would bring up in the interview:

“”You’re soooooooo technical”
“I can’t believe you made 185″”

Another was shocked to see the height difference between the 5’4″ Rogan standing next to the 6’4″ Pereira:

“Is Joe shrinking?”

Another felt Rogan is sure to ask ‘Poatan’ if he had tried DMT:

“”So have u ever done dmt””

Another pointed out the height difference:

“Joe looks like a child compared to him”

One fan felt Pereira would be a good guest:

“W combination “

Another agreed with this sentiment given Rogan’s fondness for ‘Poatan’:

“Joe loves Alex, should be a fun pod”

Clearly, the fans are enthused about seeing Pereira having a conversation with Rogan on the latter’s podcast. And given everything we know about the podcast host, he would probably be the happiest. What do you think about Pereira going to Rogan? Let us know in the comments section below.
