Combat sports star Alex Poatan has been preparing for his important fight against Ciryl Gane , scheduled for June 14th in Washington (USA), but he also finds time to have fun. And, often, his pranks end up putting his friends in compromising situations. In his most recent prank, the renowned striker kicked one of his teammates.

In Minas Gerais, more precisely on a farm, Poatan has been recording content and sharing his routine on his official YouTube channel. While instructing his friend on how he wanted the filming to be done, the former UFC middleweight (up to 83,9 kg) and light heavyweight (up to 93 kg) champion took advantage of the fact that his friend had his back turned, kicked him, and, trying to deceive him, blamed it on a horse.

In the prank, Alex ended up exaggerating and isolating his friend. As he laughed, the athlete gave himself away, also amusing his filming partner. It's worth noting that this is just the beginning of the Brazilian's preparation for UFC Casa Branca . The veteran stated that, from now on, he will intensify his training in pursuit of the heavyweight title (up to 120,2 kg).
Terror of former champions
Alex Poatan , 38, rose to fame in kickboxing with Glory and made his UFC debut in 2021. From there, the Brazilian experienced a meteoric rise, becoming one of the organization's main stars.
It's no coincidence that the athlete won the middleweight and light heavyweight titles. Furthermore, the renowned striker has a record that includes former champions: Israel Adesanya , Jamahal Hill , Jan Błachowicz, Jiri Prochazka (twice), Magomed Ankalaev , and Sean Strickland.
Look at the kick Poatan gave his friend.
