You know what? I’ve always been curious about how much fighters weigh when they’re just walking around, living their lives, not cutting weight for a fight. So, I decided to dig into Alex Pereira’s case ’cause he’s a big dude, and his weight cuts are legendary.
I started by hitting up the internet, just Googling around, you know? Came across a bunch of interviews and articles about him. It’s wild to think about, but this guy, Pereira, he can be over 230 pounds when he’s not fighting. 230! That’s huge.
Then, I found this one interview where Pereira himself was talking about his weight. He said something like, “I weighed around 103 kgs, approximately 224-225 lbs.” And that’s when he’s chilling! He also mentioned that when he was fighting at middleweight, it was 185 lbs. Can you believe that? He is dropping like 40-50 pounds for a fight!
So, I took notes, compared a few different sources, just to make sure I wasn’t getting bad info. It all seemed to line up. It’s not like I went and weighed the guy myself, but based on what he’s said and what others have reported, it seems legit.
- First, I just did some general searching online, looking for articles and interviews.
- Then, I focused on sources where Pereira was directly quoted about his weight.
- After that, I compared the numbers from different sources to see if they matched.
- Finally, I put it all together to get a good idea of his walking weight.
It is so crazy. This guy is walking around at 225 pounds or more, and then he’s cutting down to 185 for fights. That’s an insane amount of weight to lose. I mean, I struggle to lose 5 pounds, and this guy is dropping 40 like it’s nothing. It really puts into perspective how much these fighters go through just to step into the ring or the octagon.
It made me think about other fighters, too. I mean, Pereira is a big guy, but what about other weight classes? How much are they cutting? It’s a whole other world, this fighting thing. I only know he is just a monster!
I have to follow some other fighters’ weight.
Anyway, that’s my little deep dive into Alex Pereira’s walking weight. It was a fun little project, and I learned a lot. Maybe I’ll look into another fighter’s weight next. Any suggestions?
