This Saturday (4), in Las Vegas (USA), Alex Poatan faces Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 320, an extremely important commitment for his career, but he also finds time to attend to the press. In fact, the Brazilian was caught off guard when a journalist asked him the three people from history that he would take to a 'dream dinner' and he didn't sit on the fence.
In a video posted on ESPN MMA's Instagram profile, the former UFC champion chose to share a table with three sports icons: Ayrton Senna, Mike Tyson , and Neymar. Senna, a genius of motorsports, was a three-time Formula 1 champion , winning the titles in 1988, 1990, and 1991. Sadly, the Brazilian died at the Imola circuit in Italy in 1994 after leaving the track and colliding with a wall.
Tyson is a former world boxing champion and is considered by fans and experts as one of the most terrifying fighters in history due to his knockout power and personality. Neymar is a soccer star who continues to play for Santos FC and dreams of playing in the 2026 World Cup.
