Even though he suffered a vicious knockout loss at the hands of Israel Adesanya at UFC 287, Alex Pereira would like his supporters to know that he is doing well.
“Poatan” released a brief statement via social media on Sunday. He was not in attendance at Saturday’s post-fight press conference. Accompanying the statement was a video of Pereira and Adesanya sharing a moment together backstage after UFC 287.
“I’m just here to let [you] know that I’m fine!!” Pereira wrote. “I want to thank my family, my team and all the people who are supporting me during my journey.
“Now I just have to rest and continue with the plans that are already [in] motion. Thanks God.”
Pereira captured middleweight gold with a fifth-round stoppage of Adesanya in the UFC 281 main event last November, and he previously defeated “The Last Stylebender” twice in kickboxing bouts. Saturday’s defeat ends a seven-bout winning streak in MMA for “Poatan,” who had been victorious in his first four UFC appearances.
