Alex Pereira teams up with Sean Strickland ahead of UFC 307.

‘Poatan’ knocked out the American before he became middleweight champion, but now Strickland is helping him prepare to defend the light heavyweight title.

Pereira will face top contender Khalil Rountree Jr. in a highly anticipated Main Event match at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah on October 5.

Clips of Pereira and Strickland together in camp circulated online, but nothing caught the attention of fight fans until recently.

MMA reporter Nina Marie Daniele captured hilarious footage of Strickland tumbling off an electric scooter while strolling outside Pereira’s gym.

Fortunately, he was able to stay on his feet and not sustain any injuries.

The former middleweight champion laughs at his faux pas, while Nina bursts out laughing behind the camera.

“Oh no,” Pereira shouts before stumbling into the shot a few seconds later.

He points to Strickland and adds, “My sparring partner!”

Everyone laughed at Pereira’s concerned and seemingly sarcastic reaction when Strickland almost hurt himself.

Strickland recently opened up about what it’s like to fight Pereira.

The 33-year-old insists he has no fear of the Brazilian knockout artist, even though he knows one good punch will likely knock him out cold.

“I’m not afraid of Alex,” Strickland insisted.

‘But the problem is my chin. I mean, I’m going to sleep.

“It’s weird when you fight Alex. If I want to knock Alex out, he’ll have to do something really stupid. Like he has to do what he did against Izzy (Israel Adesanya).

‘If you give me one free chance and you say: give it your all, I won’t knock him out. But if you do that to Alex, everyone on the list will go to sleep.

“That’s one of the damn things when I spar him, because I feel like Alex and I are kickboxing, we’re going toe to toe. But I just know that no matter what I do, he’s going to eat it and if he touches me just once, good night.”

Strickland won’t be happy to hear that Pereira is considering a return to 185 pounds.

Dricus du Plessis – the man who dethroned Strickland earlier this year – received a call from Pereira in the wake of his recent victory over Adesanya.

It appears Strickland’s new friendship with Pereira will be put to the test as they both chase the same title in 2025.
