The Brazilian posted an Instagram reel with the caption:
"Two sides of me with @aviator.spribe - ready to fly high!"

Alex Pereira breaks down Jamahal Hill vs Khalil Rountree Jr.
Former light heavyweight champion Jamahal Hill and Khalil Rountree Jr. are scheduled to lock horns at UFC Fight Night at the Baku Crystal Hall in Baku, Azerbaijan, on June 21. As a fighter who holds wins over Hill and Rountree Jr., Alex Pereira shared his thoughts on the matchup, which will go down this Saturday.
The former light heavyweight champion's breakdown was reposted on the UFC Canada Instagram page. Leaning towards 'The War Horse' to win the matchup, 'Poatan' said:
"They're both great fighters and well rounded. I fought them both. So I can say something more accurate. They're both dangerous but I think by my fight against Khalil, I see him having some advantages against Jamahal. That's my opinion."
