Alex Pereira shows off tattoo of UFC belt after Israel Adesanya win

Alex Pereira knocked out Israel Adesanya at UFC 281 this past weekend to win the middleweight title and the Brazilian has celebrated his triumph with a tattoo of his new belt

Alex Pereira has got a new tattoo of his UFC world title just days after winning the belt against Israel Adesanya.

Pereira, 35, won the middleweight belt by stopping old kickboxing rival Adesanya, 33, in the final round of their clash at UFC 281 in New York this past weekend. The Brazilian needed a finish after falling behind on the scorecards and with the help of an inspiring speech from his corner team, he stopped Adesanya with just three minutes left of the fight.

‘Poatan’ has decided to get a permanent reminder of the historic moment and posted a video of him getting a UFC world title belt inked onto his right bicep. It goes hand in hand with the tattoo Pereira has on his left bicep, a Glory world title belt to remind him of his days as a two-weight world champion for the kickboxing promotion.

Fans have weighed in on Pereira’s new ink as one user commented: “Man had a three year plan to go into the UFC and beat Israel for the belt…man’s getting tatted for sure!” A second user wrote: “Both arms gave you those belts, win the rematch!” Another user suggested Pereira should get a tattoo on his hand, commenting: “He should tattoo his left hand with the phrase ‘If you touch it, it’s either knockout or coffin’ haha.”
