After winning consecutive fights after her debut, She got a title opportunity for the Glory Super bantamweight championship against Tiffany van Soest. Pereira lost that fight and later decided to make a move to MMA. In 2018, Pereira made her MMA debut after getting signed by Legacy Fighting Alliance (LFA). However, she failed to make a great impact as she lost her first fight against Helen Peralta. 

Since then, Aline has defeated Chelsea Conner by a decision at LFA 160. However, she couldn’t gather momentum as she suffered a decision loss against Cheyanne Bowers at LFA 168. In 2024, she made her Karate Combat debut opposite Dee Begley at KC 50. Aline used the family’s signature left hook to knock her opponent down and finished the fight via ground-and-pound.

Can Aline Pereira make her way into UFC like her brother Alex Pereira?

Aline Pereira has followed in the footsteps of her brother, Alex Pereira, since the beginning of her career. Although, unlike Alex, she didn’t find much success in Glory. Alex was a double-weight champion in Glory, but Aline failed to win her title opportunity before quitting the sport for MMA. Aline also joined LFA like Alex but hasn’t proved her mettle yet.

It might not be surprising for Aline to try to get into UFC as Alex did the same. However, getting there will require a lot of effort. With a losing MMA record, it will be tough for Aline to make a similar impact in the sport. However, Karate Combat might suit her style as there is less grappling in that promotion. With her debut win, she looks more comfortable at KC than in any MMA promotion.
