Ultimate does not hide the prestige of Alex Poatán within the organization. A few days before the Brazilian's new presentation, which takes place at UFC 276, on Saturday (2), the organization released images of the athlete practicing kicks. The precision and power are impressive. The São Paulo native faces Sean Strickland on this weekend's main card.

“The power of Poatan,” wrote the mediator.

No UFC 276, Alex will perform his third performance with the company's gloves. After two convincing victories, the fighter will face number four in the middleweight rankings (up to 83,9kg) next.

If you overcome Sean Strickland, Poatan could make a significant leap in the group led by Israel adesanya. With a convincing result, the Brazilian can qualify for an immediate title fight.

A new favorite of Brazilian fans, Alex has history with the current middleweight champion. During his kickboxing days, the São Paulo native beat the Nigerian twice. In the last one (in 2017), the triumph came with a devastating knockout.
