But, he gained a lot of weight and looked much bigger than Israel Adesanya.

[{"selector":"#anim-82a500ba-d5f7-44c3-9a82-ca397e3897fd","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7ef9455a-d449-4e00-ba02-450bed98d7e1","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 74.25329%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-20313beb-f784-48c9-a949-ce7377c76c73","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-67c95500-f404-4b9a-90d1-807129355a69 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-19.41061416192123%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] Well, Alex Pereira is unfazed with Joe Rogan's accusations. He even fired back at Rogan with a video of him revealing his real weight.

Pereira's post said "legally cheating".

[{"selector":"#anim-66407951-fa56-4aef-b207-056f2c91158a [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-1.857421785687205%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8a424077-04f0-450d-8f99-d7e82830d752","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c564165c-ce2f-4a79-8aab-0ac2f65495fc","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-121%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":600,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-80c34b1b-fc17-404f-aee2-bfe457eafbbc","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c6229f0d-7329-4c1d-8d0e-77aa2cd54423","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-158.95197%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":600,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Alex Pereira's weight and size is certainly a problem for all the UFC middleweight. However, there are a few fighters who can beat him in the octagon due to his weakness in wrestling.
