DC has such great chemistry with these fighters man

[@genieotl]

He knows how to handle them he's their wrestling coach.

I think it’s because he fought one time?

Alex Pereira is an anomaly. Not only did he hit the ground running in UFC, but he's one of the only non English speaking fighters with a stoic personality that the fans in the States have fallen in love with, even though we can't understand what he says!

[@ComentaRaffs]

yoooo dc that was funny bro. Sending you love from Brazil

DC never stop doing these interviews I speak for everyone we love you bro. And much love to the fighters

[@TheTNPfan]

Great job DC, really respect how you did this interview and i think Alex and his amazing interpreter also liked the calm and well spoken manner that you presented the questions.

[@TheReal2Q]

The interpretation is so good dudes always on point

[@aidenhirsch7188]

Love you DC

[@mm2024-7]

Good interview with Alex. His interpreter is spot on and a great listener 👂 One thing I like about the interview is that Daniel cannot interrupt Alex because he doesn’t understand him. Which leads to a complete uninterrupted interview.

[@thesecretperk]

Alex “Father of Izzy” Pereira. Chama!
