We’ve seen a lot of fighters over the years throw out some pretty questionable first pitches, but not our man “Poatan.”
Alex Pereira was on hand at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx yesterday (Tue. May 5th, 2026) to watch the New York Yankees beat the Texas Rangers 7-4 in the first of a three game series. He was welcomed as a proper two division UFC champion should be — they gave him a Yankees jersey with the number 1 on the back and let him throw out the first ceremonial pitch.
And how did Pereira do? He put the ball straight down the middle and over the plate. It was no heater, but it got exactly where it was supposed to go. Take a look.
CHAMA
He is a monster of a human
Bad ass fighter.
But he throws like a girl.
Either a fan or a hater. Plus who else is he going to like the shitty ass blue jays.
