plenty of fans are convinced<\/a> he didn\u2019t exactly do it the \u201cright\u201d way.<\/p>\n\u201cWhere is his muscle?\u201d one fan wrote.<\/p>\n
\u201cHW Alex is just out of shape Alex,\u201d another fan added.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe basically ate like a fat f\u2014k and said, \u2018I\u2019m a heavyweight now,\u2019\u201d another fan wrote.<\/p>\n
\u201cI mean he just grew a gut, it ain\u2019t that hard,\u201d another fan added.<\/p>\n
\u201cCiryl Gane is going to mop the floor with this guy,\u201d another fan predicted.<\/p>\n
Another fan went even harder.<\/p>\n
\u201cDude ballooned up by eating everything in sight and probably some \u2018help\u2019 along the way,\u201d the fan wrote. \u201cAt 258 lbs he looks soft compared to the shredded MW version that actually looked dangerous. Real heavyweights are built like that naturally or stay athletic \u2014 this feels like a desperate cash grab before the chin gets tested by actual big boys who can wrestle.\u201d<\/p>\n
And the jokes kept coming.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey genuinely locked him in the cafeteria until he got to HW. Man, I love the UFC so much sometimes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe just don\u2019t wanna cut weight anymore. Chama.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201c73 lbs from his original weight. That\u2019s like Chito Vera fighting Carlos Ulberg at 205 for the title.\u201d<\/p>\n
Now, Pereira is getting the same treatment.<\/p>\n
It will be interesting to see what \u201cPoatan\u201d officially weighs in at in just three days when he steps on the scale for UFC Freedom 250.<\/p>\n
