A new arena for a fighter
Alex Pereira is a Brazilian mixed martial artist and former professional kickboxer. His move into film brought him to the action-horror film Onslaught.
Before his work on screen, Pereira became a champion in kickboxing and went on to win UFC championships in the middleweight and light heavyweight divisions.
In Adam Wingard’s Onslaught, he plays a character called the Butcher. The Associated Press review identifies him among the enhanced soldiers who threaten Celeste and her daughter.
MMA Fighting reported his casting as a major acting role, connecting his athletic background with a new kind of performance. His work in combat sports and the fictional character are separate parts of his public career.
