Alex Pereira releases footage of broken toe 2 weeks before UFC 300

Alex Pereira is an unreasonably tough human being.

This past Saturday, Pereira successfully defended his light heavyweight title with a first-round knockout of Jamahal Hill in the main event of UFC 300. After the fight, UFC CEO Dana White revealed Pereira broke a toe a few weeks before the event but competed anyway, and on Tuesday, Pereira showed exactly what happened.

Posting to his Instagram, Pereira put up a video of the training session two weeks before UFC 300 where he broke his right pinky toe, and the methods his team tried to fix it immediately after.

ā€œI broke my toe. … Push it. Push. … See if it went back. … Rotate it a bit. … Do it like this. Out. Out. Forward.ā€

In the video you can see Pereira recognize the break after throwing a kick. Then his team attempts to push the toe back into place to no avail. While they continue to work on his foot, Pereira sits there and laments the accident.

ā€œSucks, man. Last round,ā€ Pereira said. ā€œI was doing good.ā€

Ultimately the broken digit didnā€™t affect Pereira too much as he was still able to knockout Hill in just over three minutes.
