Alex Pereira is arguably the biggest star in the UFC right now. Pereira is on fire right now with four straight title fight wins, all ending in memorable knockouts over several notable opponents.

You can often spot Pereira on social media outside of the ring, having impressive or funny moments while training or even bumping into former champions like Sean Strickland at the gas station. In this case, Pereira was outside with his team when he performed an insane act of kindness.

Alex Pereira was walking in a downtown area with his team and lots of security. From this fan's point of view, he spotted Pereira and approached him with a camera—a typical reaction to a celebrity in public. In the midst of the fan's excitement to see the UFC light heavyweight champion, Pereira handed him a stack of cash that the fan showed on camera, which was seemingly all one-hundred-dollar bills. Here's the video from Full Send MMA.

Poatan had yet another unique interaction outside of the Octagon that found its way to social media, but this time it was showing some love to his fans.

Alex Pereira is close to his big title defense against Magomed Ankalaev, which will be his first fight of the year and his fourth defense of the UFC light heavyweight championship.

We'll see if the champ can continue his electrifying reign on March 8 at UFC 313.
