Poatan performed several jumps and pirouettes to show that motor coordination is not present in the octagon, but also in other physical activities on his return to Danbury, in the United States, where he lives and trains.

The fighter, currently free, chose to travel and has already been to Brazil, Mexico, South Korea and Australia.

Year of overcoming (and victories) for Alex Poatan

The 2024 season was marked by challenges and achievements for Alex Poatán. The champion faced high-level opponents such as Jamahal hill, Jiri Prochazka e Khalil rountree, always emerging victorious. However, this sequence of fights required a great physical and mental effort from the athlete.

In preparation for the fight against Khalil rountree, in early October, Poatan arrived in Salt Lake City with a sore throat, requiring antibiotic treatment. In addition, the Brazilian suffered a fractured rib and tore a ligament in his finger during training.
