So, I was scrolling through my usual sports feeds the other day, and I kept seeing this name pop up: Alex Pereira. I mean, the guy’s a beast in the UFC, right? Two-division champ, and they’re calling him one of the greatest combat athletes ever. But what really caught my attention was his walkout song. It’s not your typical pump-up music, it’s way more intense.
I had to find out what this song was all about. Turns out, it’s called “Its’ri”. Now, some sources say it’s by a Brazilian heavy metal band called Sepultura, while others say it’s by Tombstone. Either way, it’s definitely got that heavy, powerful vibe that matches Pereira’s fighting style.
I did a little digging into the song, and it turns out the lyrics are in the Xavante language, which is an indigenous language from Brazil. Apparently, the song is about the Xavante people’s fight to keep their culture alive in a world that’s changing way too fast. That’s pretty deep, right? It makes sense, though, since Pereira is from Brazil and he seems to be proud of his heritage. I even saw some videos about his Brazilian background and his struggles with alcohol addiction, which is crazy inspiring that he overcame it to become a world champion.
Here’s what I did to learn more:
- Searched for “Alex Pereira walkout song” – This gave me the name of the song and the bands that might have performed it.
- Looked up “Its’ri” and the Xavante language – I wanted to understand the meaning behind the song and why Pereira might have chosen it.
- Checked out some of the videos about Pereira’s background – This gave me a better understanding of who he is as a person and why his heritage is important to him.
It was really cool to learn about Pereira and his culture from hearing his walkout song. Now, whenever I hear that song, I’ll think of Alex Pereira and his incredible achievements, as well as the importance of preserving one’s heritage.
Oh, and I also found out that this guy’s nickname, “Po Atan,” means “stone hand” in his native Tupi language. Apparently, he earned $2.74 million from his last fight, which is insane! Shows how popular he is, right?
