Alex Pereira’s son wanted to pull a prank on his father, but nearly had his lights go out.
In a recent video shared on Pereira’s Instagram, it is seen that the former UFC Middleweight champ’s son is wearing a black suit, waiting for his dad around a dark corner at the end of a staircase in a dark home.
As “Poatan” enters the house and turns on the light, his son jumps out of the corner. However, it almost went very, very wrong as Pereira squared up and was ready to land a shot, before he realized it was his boy, who was down to the floor already by seeing his father ready to take a shot. If the light was not turned on, it could have gone way worse for Pereira’s son.
The Brazilian later posted the clip on his Instagram, along with the caption, “I had to post!
That’s bullshit, it’s just bullshit hahaha,” although he was seen clearly annoyed by the prank and even gave some severe scolding to his son. However, the entire prank was in light heart and the former champ did not take it too seriously.

Pereira was last seen in action back in July at UFC 291, where he made his Light Heavyweight debut in the co-main event, defeating Jan Blachowicz via split decision. The win marked his comeback from losing the Middleweight belt to Israel Adesanya in their rematch at UFC 287 in April.
