A defeat to Magomed Ankalaev did not change the mood and sense of humor of Alex Poatán. 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 viral skit on social media last Wednesday (2), which brought a good laugh from sports fans all over the world.

In the video, published on Instagram by Mexican presenter and reporter Aurélie Garzonio, the fighter is seen walking near a park holding hands with a woman, apparently his girlfriend. The path of the 'couple' 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 place to try to 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.

Alex Poatan lost the title to Magomed Ankalaev
The Brazilian suffered his first defeat in the light heavyweight division when he was defeated by the Russian Magomed Ankalayev in the main fight of UFC 313 by unanimous decision. With the setback, Poatan lost his title as champion of the category and is now seeking revenge. Although a date for the second meeting has not yet been officialized, both athletes seem to be interested in facing each other during the month of August.
