Like brother like sister is a true saying Aline Pereira became Karate Combat flyweight champion, replicating her brother Alex Pereira’s iconic fighting style perfectly. It was an absolute dream-come-true moment, especially with Alex ringside celebrating his sister’s incredible historic championship achievement.

Aline won the inaugural flyweight title via a unanimous decision and used the signature weapon famously used by her brother Alex. The event took place at Miami’s Mana Wynwood Convention Center, where Pereira defeated Fani Peloumpi in a dominant five-round battle.

Each round saw Pereira maintain relentless forward pressure, consistently landing the more powerful and effective strikes and completely neutralizing Peloumpi’s Muay Thai. Her signature left hook was crucial throughout the fight, showcasing her evolution from a Glory kickboxer into a well-rounded karate combat athlete.

Before becoming champion, Pereira earned attention through two highlight-reel knockouts, displaying her fearsome striking abilities inside Karate Combat. Her championship victory improved her Karate Combat record to 3-0, confirming dominance inside the newly established women’s flyweight division.

An emotional moment unfolded after victory, as Aline tearfully embraced her supportive brother Alex inside the Karate Combat pit. Fans and commentators celebrated Pereira’s success with the potential to become a true star for the promotion.

Observers noticed Aline’s similar footwork, sharp striking accuracy, and dangerous left hooks, resembling her brother’s dominant and devastating fighting style. If the sister of ‘Poatan’ can keep up her winning Karate Combat record, she could one day follow her brother to the UFC. Either way her stardom is on the rise as witnessed on the internet following her victory.
