PUBLICITY:

The unusual rivalry between Alex Poatan and Vinícius LokDog is heating up. And it didn't take long for the gaucho to respond to the UFC light heavyweight champion (up to 93 kg). Last Wednesday (3), the Paulista continued the story, provoking the company's bantamweight prospect (up to 61,2 kg), who was not intimidated.

It all started when LokDog, annoyed by criticism for posting training videos where he was taking advantage of his partners, noticed that his compatriot was being praised for knocking out an athlete in a recent sparring session and challenged him to five minutes of boxing. Then, Poatan confused the gaucho's nickname with 'Snoop Dogg' and stressed that he didn't have a reputation as a malicious fighter, unlike Snoop Dogg.

Jean Silva promises to be the 'new Poatan' by projecting a great future in the UFC.

Not satisfied, the UFC champion explained that the negative reaction from fans was due to his new rival constantly getting involved in controversies and talking nonsense. In his response, LokDog made a point of reminding Poatan of his past working at a tire shop, after the latter questioned the story in which he revealed that he walked 34 km every day to go to the gym to train.

"I don't believe he changed truck tires. That's not possible. How can he train doing all that? It's not normal," the fighter wrote on his official 'X' account.
