UFC star Alex Pereira and the mystery of punching power
60% Informative
UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira heads to Vegas to headline UFC 313 on March 8 .
Pereira is a living embodiment of the old saying about why " Jaws " is so scary: It's not the shark, it's the ocean.
Experts say the secret sauce that separates the powerful from the devastatingly powerful is the ability to relax.
Matt Brown has the second -most knockouts ( 13 ) in UFC history.
His technique and toughness combined to make him one of the most lethal finishers in the history of cage fighting.
"There's absolutely some mystery in who's born with power and who isn't," Brown says.
Pereira 's nickname, Poatan , translates as "Stone Hands," and his dad was a bricklayer.
He'd had a few scuffles as a kid, but never did any boxing or MMA training.
Since joining the UFC in 2021 , Pereira has been one of the busiest punchers in fighting since 2010 .
His last four wins have all ended by varying methods of viciousness.
