During a meeting at the White House, President Donald Trump shook hands with UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira and commented on the fighter's physical power. Trump stated that Pereira has a "BIG hand" and a "powerful hand," calling him "one of the best strikers in the history of this business." The post notes that Pereira's nickname "Poatan" translates from the Tupi indigenous language as "stone hand," making Trump's observation particularly fitting. The comments were captured during a live White House broadcast and reflect Trump's continued engagement with UFC fighters.
