Nobody really knows what Nina Drama hopes to achieve by training and spending time with Alex Pereira, but if you're looking to dive into the world of martial arts, there's probably no better teacher than someone who lives and breathes the sport.
Not everyone is ready to take on the challenge of absorbing a kick from Alex Pereira. After all, he's one of the most respected athletes in combat sports. But if you're not a pro and nowhere near his level, why in the world would you willingly take a kick from one of the best in the game?
A brutal reality check
Even though Pereira held back significantly, Nina Drama still couldn't handle even 1% of the force behind his measured kick. It was stunning to watch her leg nearly buckle under the impact-despite the fact that Pereira was clearly being careful.
Judging by Nina's reaction, it's safe to say the kick hurt-a lot. And honestly, we don't even want to imagine what it feels like in an actual professional fight. It's one thing to take a hit for fun, but taking a full-force shot from Pereira in the octagon? That's a whole different level of pain.
From comedy to combat
Since 2022, Nina Drama has made a name for herself in the UFC world, mainly serving as a comedic figure and social media personality for the promotion. But this moment quickly went viral-not for laughs, but because of how real her pain was after that kick.
This little stunt proved why fighters like Pereira are built differently. While it might make for great content, stepping into the world of professional combat-even for a second-is a brutal reality check. Safe to say, Nina Drama learned that the hard way.
