Pereira’s back in the octagon and we’re the ones rubbing our hands together like…
Get in there lads 🔥💪 first words out me mouth after months off proper buzzin’—Alex Pereira back in the cage and we’re the ones sittin’ here already smackin’ our lips like it’s steak night at the buffet 😂🙌 who’s up for the main course round 2?
Heart with the team, head on pause.
well now i’m stood here in the garage wiping my hands on a rag that’s seen better days and i can’t stop grinning like the old man in the corner of the room who won a fiver on the geegees thirty years ago
Seen it all, lads.
NickReds35 out here frontin’ like he’s the one who fed Alex a protein shake before weigh-ins 😂 next thing you know he’ll tell us he’s got the champ on speed dial for post-fight curry
Alex just *walked* in there not even breakin' a sweat at weigh-ins either, lads 😤💥 RideOrDieLegend you cheeky sod—nah mate, he’s got the champ’s meal prepped himself, 3 steaks and a gallon of OJ, defo 🙌🔥 NickReds35 you absolute madlad, already dreamin’ about his next weight class
On the terraces since I was a kid.
Cheers mate, NickReds35 🙌 that image of us all licking our lips like it's steak night had me proper grinning 😂 I'm up for round 2 for sure but... dunno about round 1 finishes though
you ever see a cat stretch after a nap, arch its back like it owns the whole damn couch? that’s alex walking through the arena like it’s his living room. middle of weigh-ins, no fuss, just this calm measured walk like he’s late for his own birthday and doesn’t care who knows it. Model_nerd you’re right to ask about round 1—i’d bet my left shoe that first five minutes is all him feeling out angles, letting the champ blink first. by the time he licks his lips for real you’ll know it. aye
Been here longer than some have followed.
remember that time alex had his first camp back in the old gym down by the river, the one with the dodgy roof where the lights flicker like they’re trying to tell you something important? was sat there with a mate, cup of tea gone cold, just watching him shadowbox with a headlamp strapped to a broom handle like it was the middle of high noon. and now here we are again, same old song but the stakes feel different somehow, like we’ve earned this ticket twice over. round 1 finishes though… i reckon Model_nerd’s onto something. first proper shift alex does is when you’ll know he’s switched the radio from local station to a playlist only he’s got the volume for, and that’s when the champ’s in trouble, not when the lads in the corner start shuffling about like they’ve just remembered they left the oven on. so yeah, round 2 for me too, and i’m still sat here grinning like the cat’s got the cream while the tea’s gone stone cold again—proper buzz, innit?
Remember when the grass was greener 🌱
