Okay, so today I was messing around trying to figure out Alex Pereira’s actual height. You know, just one of those random internet rabbit holes you fall into.
First thing I did, like anyone else, was just Google it. Saw a bunch of different numbers floating around. Some sites said 6’4″, others were saying 6’3″. Even saw one claiming 6’5″! So, I thought, “Alright, can’t trust everything on the internet, gotta dig a little deeper.”
Next, I went to the official UFC website. Figured they’d have the most accurate info, right? They listed him at 6’4″. Okay, that’s a start, but still… you know how these things go. Sometimes those listed heights are a bit… generous.
Then, I started watching some of his fights again. I was looking for instances where he was standing next to other fighters whose height I knew was pretty accurate. Like, Israel Adesanya. Izzy’s usually listed at 6’4″ too, and from what I’ve seen, that seems about right.
So, I’m watching these staredowns, pausing, rewinding, trying to get a good visual. It’s tough because of the camera angles and the distance. But, from what I could tell, Pereira and Adesanya looked pretty much the same height. Maybe Pereira had a slight edge, but it could just be the way they were standing.
After that, I went down the YouTube wormhole. Searching for interviews, weigh-ins, anything where he might be next to someone with a reliably known height. I even started looking at some of his past kickboxing matches, hoping for a clearer comparison.
I stumbled upon a few videos where people were analyzing his height based on these same visual comparisons. Some were saying he’s definitely taller than 6’4″, others were sticking with the official number. It was all over the place!
Honestly, after all that digging, I’m still not 100% sure. My gut feeling? He’s probably around 6’4″. Maybe a tiny bit taller, but not significantly so. It’s one of those things where unless you stand right next to him with a measuring tape, you’re just guessing.
So, yeah, that was my deep dive into the mystery of Alex Pereira’s height. Turns out, it’s not as straightforward as you might think! The internet is a wild place.
