Alex Pereira buys parents a mansion in Brazil

Alex Pereira travels the world rolling on expensive supercars and celebrating life as UFC champion, but the MMA superstar doesn’t forget his roots.

“Poatan”, who recently returned from a trip to Korea, shows how much his life has changed since joining the UFC and quickly climbing to the top of two divisions.

Days after posting a picture of a gold UFC bracelet and hundreds of dollars in a yellow Ferrari, adding that “I remember when my sons were on their last pair of diapers and I didn’t have money to buy new ones,” he celebrated buying his parents a new home.

Now living in Danbury, Conn., Pereira posted two photos with a heartwarming before and after, from a humble home in the Sao Bernardo do Campo area to an incredible mansion.

A former two-division champion in kickboxing and now under the UFC banner, Pereira (12-5) had an incredible year in 2024 with three title defenses at 205-pounds, a trio of knockouts over Jamahal Hill, Jiri Prochazka and Khalil Rountree Jr. The Brazilian talent is expected to face Magomed Ankalaev in 2025.
