Stone Hands: How Alex Pereira Went From a Tire Shop to UFC Champion (MMA Documentary)

He drank a liter of rum a day as a teenager in a São Paulo tire shop. At 21 he walked into a kickboxing gym to stop drinking. A coach gave him a name — Poatan, "stone hands" — and those hands carried him from a favela to Glory titles in two divisions, three wins over Israel Adesanya in two sports, and UFC belts at middleweight and light heavyweight. This is the story of Alex Pereira: the man who kept getting knocked down, and kept coming back stronger.
