Fighter Alex Poatan is visiting South Korea to fulfill a series of business commitments. In the Asian country, a Korean fan challenged the Brazilian and went viral on the internet.
In the video, the young man proposes that the Brazilian hit him. Poatan then puts a glove on his right hand, his non-dominant hand, and begins to strike the Korean.
The fan surprised everyone present and withstood six punches from the former MMA fighter. At the end of the sequence, the Brazilian congratulated the young man.
“You deserve a hug here, old man, f***”, he said.
At the beginning of the month, the fighter had a similar action, but this time with comedian Diogo Defante. Unlike the Korean, Defante only withstood one punch.
Poatan in South Korea
Later that week, Poatan trained at a gym in South Korea. The fighter entered the Octagon with a local fighter.
On social media, Conor McGregor criticized the Brazilian’s action. He published a video of the training and commented “nonsense” on his account on X, formerly Twitter.
