President Donald Trump met with UFC fighters at the White House and commented on Alex Pereira's handshake, calling it a "big, powerful hand" and praising Pereira as having "one of the best strikes in the history of this business." The post notes that Pereira's nickname "Poatan" translates from the Tupi indigenous language as "stone hand," which ties into Trump's observation about the fighter's hand strength. The meeting was part of promotional activities ahead of a planned UFC event at the White House. Trump's comments were captured during a live White House broadcast.
