Alex Pereira Throws Out First Pitch For Yankees Game

He can fight, and he can pitch. Chama. Alex Pereira is on a roll recently and apparently he’s a solid baseball pitcher, too.

UFC 328 is this Saturday in Newark, New Jersey and to promote the event, Alex Pereira (who is not on the 328 card) took the small trek over the New York yesterday to throw out the first pitch at the Yankee’s game. And he did a pretty good job at doing so, considering some celebrities have pitched some very terrible balls.

The Yankees did win, so, it looks like Pereira ringing in the game was good luck. While Alex isn’t on the UFC 328 card this weekend, he is fighting at The White House June 14 for UFC Freedom 250 when he moves up to Heavyweight to battle Ciryl Gane for the interim-Heavyweight Championship.
