Alex Pereira and Daniel Cormier got into a scrap backstage that had to be broken up by security.
In a clip courtesy of Canal Encarada and shared by Championship Rounds on X, the current UFC champion and former two-division titleholder got into a clinch battle that ultimately ended when ‘Poatan’ put Cormier on the ground.
“Caught this scene between Alex Poatan and Daniel Cormier backstage at #UFCRio The two started playing sparring until the Brazilian put the American down and even had security to separate them,” Carnado wrote on Instagram.
