UFC champ Alex Pereira unleashes fiery rant at reporter after it's revealed Aline Pereira moonlights as Amazon driver.
Alex Pereira defends sister Aline Pereira against ‘evil’ reporter
UFC light heavyweight champ Alex Pereira is one of the last people one would want to see in red. A vicious knockout artist, “Poatan” has amassed an army of fans due to his prowess. The pound-for-pound superstar’s sister’s fight career is now blooming. However, tidbits about Aline Pereira have sent her brother off the rails before Karate Combat 52!
Alex Pereira was on hand in October to see Aline Pereira starch Dee Begley in her debut at Karate Combat 50 Live. However, she isn’t in a position to fully commit to the fight. The 34-year-old recently revealed she works as an Amazon delivery driver to survive. On Thursday, Pereira lashed out at the way his sister’s sidelining was reported by MMAFighting on SBN’s columnist Guilherme Cruz (@guicruzzz).
KC 52 live on Friday in Miami has Aline Pereira continuing her martial arts career when she takes on Amanda Torres. But the fiery rage from the 205lb king is something else altogether. Alex Pereira himself is a tire-to-riches story, coming from the favelas at São Bernardo do Campo, São Paulo, Brazil. Hence, he’d like to keep the struggles of his sister regulated. He even wanted to get UFC legacy media involved.
Pereira has gone from that to a double-division championship and UFC title run like none other. Now fighting out of Danbury, Connecticut, US, he’s also a top bill for non-domestic streamers as well as domestic ones at ESPN. The Brazilian fighter is the most searched fighter on many domains, even more than GOAT Jon Jones and others. Pereira is also up for yet another title defense, soon.
Alex Pereira vs. Magomed Ankalaev: Odds and need to know ahead of the UFC 313 PPV main event
2024 couldn’t have been better for Pereira, wherein he logged three emphatic knockout victories to break Ronda Rousey’s title defense record. Alex Pereira made quick camp turnarounds for a historic 3-0 run. More to that, he also partook in the UFC 300 PPV event headliner, the promotion’s most prestigious event in this decade.
Now, he meets the No. 1 top seed for gold – Magomed Ankalaev. Ankalaev (20-1-1 MMA, 11-1-1 UFC) is undefeated in his last 13 bouts. For a moment it looked like Ankalaev was left out to dry away from a title crack. Pereira has run through top names – all but for Ankalaev.
For a while, “Poatan” also teased entering active camp before UFC 312, Live from Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney Olympic Park, New South Wales. However, he kept the snub going on. The running theory was that he was angling for a Match return, specifically during the Ramadan phase. However, the Pereira-Ankalaev match was made official during the UFC 311 PPV telecast.
Ankalaev snagged his title shot after a nine-fight tear, with a lopsided win over Aleksandar Rakic at UFC 308. Now, he is keeping some lofty intentions for it. Ankalaev opened up as a slight favorite due to the snubs. But, according to BetMGM, the current money line for Pereira vs. Ankalaev is the same at -110. It’ll prove once and all if Pereira can continue or if he succumbs to the sounds of “and new.”
