Man, figuring out Alex Pereira’s height in cm was a bit of a trip, let me tell you! I’ve been following this guy for a while now. He’s a beast in the UFC, right? Came over from GLORY kickboxing, and even though he wasn’t the best at grappling, he still snagged titles. So, I started by scouring the internet, you know, the usual digging around.
First, I checked out some UFC fan pages, and most of them list his height in feet and inches. I saw that he was 6’4″, which is pretty tall, especially for a fighter. But I needed it in centimeters. So, I grabbed my phone and opened the calculator app, you know, the old-school way.
I remembered that one foot is about 30.48 cm, so I multiplied 6 (for the 6 feet) by 30.48 and got 182.88 cm. Then, I knew one inch is roughly 2.54 cm, so I added another 10.16 cm (which is 4 inches times 2.54) to that number.
- Multiplied 6 feet by 30.48 to get 182.88 cm.
- Added 10.16 cm (4 inches in cm) to 182.88.
Guess what? I ended up with 193.04 cm. I rounded it down to 193 cm because, let’s be real, nobody measures height down to the decimal in real life. It’s wild to think about how his height gives him an advantage, especially with his reach. I mean, he used to cut down to 185 pounds, and now he is fighting at 205, that’s just crazy.
Final Tally
So, there you have it, Alex Pereira is roughly 193 cm tall. I also found out that he earned a huge paycheck of $1.24 million in that fight against Israel Adesanya, $500,000 just to show up, and $700,000 from those PPV shares. Pretty cool, right? This whole thing reminded me why I enjoy following these fighters; there’s always something new and interesting to learn.
