“Few people know the story…” ~Poatan
The full story of Alex “Poatan” Pereira goes far beyond his rivalry with Israel Adesanya at UFC 285.
This documentary takes a deep dive into the untold story of Alex’s life up until now.
Including the unexpected greats he teamed up with to dominate the world’s most competitive martial arts organisation in a matter of months.

Alex is everything Izzy proclaims to be.

Got to be real this is a bad take. I’m a huge fan of both Alex but it is just undeniable that Izzy was one of the best champs the UFC has seen. Just based on how active he was and the story lines he was able to create. There is no Alex without Izzy and I believe personally that there is no Izzy without Alex with how great both of their fights were. You can pick favorites but I believe both fighters have been shaped by one another and both deserve their own respect from the fans.

@@2hatsful I don't disagree but Alex is 3-1, took his title, went up and beat Jan when Izzy couldn't, then won another title and has beat 5 champions or former champions. Izzy fights outside maybe 3 were snooze fests. The rest he was just a point fighter. I'll bet you 1000 dollars Alex will beat Izzy if they fight again. Also Alex is 37 and humble. The only two division champion in Glory history and now a two division UFC champ. I do wholeheartedly agree there is no Izzy without Alex and vice versa. If Izzy had never made that bar comment we'd of never seen Alex. I just don't get how people are fans of Izzy but that's ok. Good comment.

When Poatan was at the one press conference with Izzy and they first faced off and he says, "Look at me," then nods, '...Saturday," is one of the most badass things i've ever seen. I dunno why, just was.

What a monumental job you did by putting countless pieces of clips, interviews in different languages and fight videos together to create this, arguably the best Poatan documentary I've found on KZread. I know other comments have stated the same, because it's truly amazing what you've done so take everyone of them as a big THANK YOU from us, Alex "Poatan" Pereira's fans. What a story, and what a warrior, a humble, rather silent, shy but gentle giant.

This dude is the leanest man I've ever seen in my life, he cuts weight to make 205 yet you can see his ribs and every bone in his body. The man is just built for fighting, he's got to have the lowest body fat % ever. He looks like he's made out of steel, and he moves like a fucking gazelle out there. The thing that makes Alex so dangerous is his mind, he's a thinking, plotting fighter. He's got the best trap set ups for KO's I've ever seen, he's so intelligent in there, thinking 2-3-4 steps ahead of his opponents. Just a once in a life time athlete. The better his TDD is the more unstoppable he becomes.
This video, even it is not Portuguese-Brazilian, has the greatest true and chronological details that I have ever seen.
Brazilian pride!! Your story is beautiful and motivates us. CHAMA! 🔥

yes but in a way that makes it more surprising and respectable that a cringe anime nerd can become world champ
How Izzy can do what he did after losing 3 times. What he did to Alex’s 5 year old shows that deep down he’s just an insecure boy. To all young MMA fighters….i dare say that most fathers would be instructing them to follow in Alex’s footsteps. Stoic, masculine, quiet….not painting their finger nails and acting like a fool. In the end the money will come by being good at what you do, you don’t need to be a clown. GSP, DC, Anderson Silva, Alex….they didn’t need to make things a side show in order to be successful. It’s refreshing

So, so great. Alex will be remembered forever as so real, so skilled, so courageous 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. Go poatan, you’ve got this. A hero and winner in kick-boxing, then champ champ in mma . A privilege to watch & witness.
This was amazing. Thank you! ❤
"no man that beats off to cartoons is gonna beat me" hahha he had extra motivation for winning this 🤣
Great Video, thanks for making this ❤
His brothers death explains his drinking imo....then maybe he had an epiphany as to do something that would make his brother more proud of him than disappointed.
best alex documentary so far. keep it up.

I never watch full documentaries at all and i am not Alex fan but man this guy deserves so much respect he literally came home real hood with no money alcoholic gangs and all and now he is champ respect ✊
Unreal video bro
Dude this is some seriously high quality content. You have amazing skills.
6:37 besides power the man got finesse 👌👌
Amazing work brother
This editing style is head and shoulders above any other MMA doc I've seen. Fantastic production. Ha ing edited well over 100 videos myself (though not at this level), I cann appreciate the absolutely excruciating attention and concentration it takes in the frame-by-frame tweaking and modifications that went on at the macro AND micro level. I'd like to see some vid tutorials on how the hardware, software and strategic mapping played out during the process
Good vid man 👍🏻
shout out to the editor! Thank you, this is beautiful. Vamos Brasil! 🇧🇷
Awesome video my friend. As I'm sure you know, he just cemented his champ status at UFC 300 via devastating knockout over Hill. Alex has an incredibly inspirational story. He's also a good role model for young fighters. I look forward to your future work!

Dope editing and cut sequence. I liked the image in motion sequence of fights. I'd cite your reference so that you don't encounter any issues with powers at YT.
Humble man, not a trash talker. If Alex retires today, he still must be considered as one of the best combat sports athlete ever. I'm not sure if he will keep the UFC belt for too long, but the history is already writen.

I didn't have things as hard as him, but I have worked very hard in my life at many jobs. I like physical labor, helps quiet my monkey mind, not much else can do it. Really cool to see someone rise up so far from a start full of pitholes through the power of hard work. I don't like working for money, but I need to expend my energy physically. When I am passionate about the purpose of the labor, like making a garden for friends, the energy just flows.
