UFC commentator reacts to Alex Pereira, Nina-Marie Daniele and co. doing the "World Record: Biggest CHAMA Dance"
Alex Pereira has made a name for himself in the UFC, becoming one of the organization's biggest superstars. The reigning light heavyweight champion is not only famous for his fighting skills but also for how he carries himself outside the octagon.
'Poatan' frequently uses the word "Chama," which has become famous among his fans. Additionally, his signature dance with one of his coaches, Plinio Cruz, has become iconic, and recently, UFC commentator Jon Anik reacted to the Chama Dance.
The UFC fighter interviewer, Nina-Marie Daniele, shared a video featuring Pereira, Cruz, herself, and numerous gym members performing Pereira's signature dance. She captioned her post:
“World Record: Biggest CHAMA Dance @alexpoatanpereira @pliniocruzmma @cruzmmaofficial Huge thank you to Alex Pereira and Coach Plinio Cruz.”

Tom Aspinall lists Alex Pereira as one of the top UFC fighters to watch
Alex Pereira has successfully defended his light heavyweight title three times this year, with all wins coming by way of finishes. He also stepped up to save a couple of major UFC events by taking fights on short notice.
One such instance was UFC 303, where the original main card fight between Michael Chandler and Conor McGregor was canceled after McGregor pulled out. Pereira saved the event by headlining the pay-per-view against Jiri Prochazka.
Recently, a fan asked interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall to name his favorite fighter to watch. Aspinall picked Alex Pereira, saying:
"I mean, there's a lot. I'm a big MMA fan, obviously, as well as a fighter. I think Alex Pereira was one of my favorites just because he's so exciting, like, he brings the heat a lot of the time. Big Ilia Topuria fan. Big Alex Volkanovski fan. But yeah, I think probably them three are the three guys I like watching the most at the moment. Oh, of course Islam Makhachev as well. I absolutely love his style."
He continued:
"But to be honest, I watch any MMA, really. So, I'm a fan of everybody, but those are probably the top three or four guys I'm interested in watching."
