    Sean O’Malley: Alex Pereira’s Butt Is Bigger Than A Miami BBL

    Sean O’Malley kept it honest when asked about the Heavyweight move by Alex Pereira.

    As Alex Pereira looks to make history for himself by becoming a three-division UFC Champion, he is currently in the middle of bulking up and ensuring he is in fighter shape when the time comes to fight Ciryl Gane at the White House for the interim UFC Heavyweight Championship.

    Former UFC Bantamweight Champion, Sean O’Malley is also fighting on the card, but was asked about the transformation made by Pereira and kept it very honest when answering about the size of Pereira in his heavyweight setting.

    “His ass is bigger than a Miami b*tch’s BBL. It was mind-blowing. Holy sh*t. If I didn’t know better, I might’ve f*cking jacked off. It was huge. I looked at his butt for like 7 seconds.”

    Pereira defeated Israel Adesanya to become the Middleweight Champion before moving up and defeating Jiri Prochazka. He will now fight Gane on June 14 at the White House to crown an interim Heavyweight Champion to determine who fights for the Undisputed gold against Tom Aspinall when cleared.

    UFC Freedom 250 Headliners Meet President Trump, USA Belt Unveiled

    UFC Freedom 250 comes next month on June 14, 2026 on a special Sunday event. Headlining the card will be Ilia Topuria vs. Justin Gaethje for the UFC Lightweight Championship. In the co-main event, Alex Pereira and Ciryl Gane will battle for the UFC Interim-Heavyweight Championship.

    Today, all four headliners met President Trump at the White House and accompanied him in the Oval Office where Trump put over the magnitude of each fighter. A comparative USA UFC Championship belt was also revealed, but it’s unclear if this is a comparative piece for Trump, or other plans are in tow for the title.

    The White House event is undoubtably UFC’s biggest show ever. During this meeting, renderings for the event were shown, granting fans a look at how the stage will be presented come fight night.

    Alex Pereira And Ciryl Gane Face-Off Outside Of The White House

    UFC Freedom 250 is only a month away. That event will be taking place on the White House lawn. The event is headlined by Ilia Topuria vs. Justin Gaethje for the UFC Lightweight Championship, and co-main evented by Alex Pereira vs. Ciryl Gane for the UFC Interim-Heavyweight Championship.

    Earlier today, Ilia Topuria took to social media to reveal that he was on his way to meet the President, and posted a photo on a plane with Alex Pereira. Now, Alex’s coach Glover Teixeira has taken to instagram to post a video of Alex Pereira and Ciryl Gane having a face-off in front of The White House.

    This is most likely for promotional purposes that UFC will release soon. But, we thank Glover for giving us a first-look! Justin and Ilia will most likely be doing the same.

    UFC Freedom 250 goes down live Sunday, June 14.

  • Alex Pereira Throws Out First Pitch For Yankees Game

    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.
