UFC star Alex Pereira was on hand for a Drake concert in Sydney on Sunday and the rapper showed him some love on the way out.
Pereira was joined by coach Plinio Cruz and teammate Yousri Belgaroui among others as the two took in Drake’s concert Sunday at Qudos Bank Arena, the same venue that hosted UFC 312 two weeks prior.
Despite the low lighting and highly populated crowd, Pereira was quickly recognized by the crowd who began to chant “Chama” and take selfies.
As the concert concluded, Drake sought out Pereira just prior to his exit. The two shook hands before Drake gave a thumbs up and Pereira let go a “Chama” toward the camera.
