Nina-Marie Daniele recently shared her reaction to Alex Pereira’s preparation for the UFC 303 ceremonial weigh-ins, drawing a humorous comparison to Jiri Prochazka’s previous comments. Prochazka had suggested that Pereira used magic and spirits to gain an advantage in fights, a claim that sparked amusement within the MMA community and even caught the attention of UFC President Dana White.
The UFC released a video showcasing Pereira getting his face painted before the weigh-ins, with the Blue Man Group assisting in the process. Daniele, known for her unique interview style with fighters, humorously questioned if the influencers assisting Pereira were the ‘spirits’ Prochazka had mentioned.
In another engaging segment, Daniele featured Pereira teaching her how to execute a leg kick, showcasing the champion’s expertise in striking. Pereira, a former two-division Glory Kickboxing champion, demonstrated proper technique and power behind his kicks, emphasizing the nuances that lead to maximum impact. He even executed a kick at one-percent power, impressing Daniele with his strength and urging fans to watch his upcoming fight at UFC 303.
