While recovering from the setback and awaiting a rematch, the former UFC light heavyweight champion (up to 93 kg) was the protagonist of yet another sketch that went viral on social media last Wednesday (2), which brought good laughs to sports fans around the world.

In the video, posted on the Instagram of Mexican presenter and reporter Aurélie Garzonio, the fighter appears walking near a park holding hands with a woman, apparently his girlfriend. The 'couple's' path crosses with that of another woman, played by Aurélie. She hands a note to the Brazilian, who throws it into a nearby garden. Two hours later, Alex returns to the location to try and find the small piece of paper.

The video has already surpassed one million views in less than 24 hours after being published. This is not the first time that the Brazilian has participated in comedy content. Despite having become popular with foreign audiences for his austere expressions and few reactions, the only Brazilian to win belts in two Ultimate divisions also seems to have fun in humorous videos.
