In a video that went viral on social media this Monday (13), the light heavyweight champion (up to 93kg) of the UFC, Alex Poatán, appears suffering an alleged knockout during training with rapper Lil Tjay. The record, which caused panic among Ultimate fans and managers, was, in fact, a joke by the Brazilian fighter.
Scheduled for the main fight of UFC 300 in less than a month, Poatan welcomed the musician to his gym, 'Cruz MMA', for glove training. In the video published on the fighter's YouTube channel, it is possible to see the champion guiding Lil Tjay and taking it easy on the guest.

At one point, Alex lets a punch in and falls to the ground, leading the trainers to worry and question whether the fighter would be fit for the important fight to come. For those who only watch the cut of the scene, the Brazilian's performance could raise doubts about his real physical condition.
However, in the full video, he gets up shortly afterwards and his colleagues calm the rapper down, revealing that it was all just a joke.
