Alex Pereira’s sister makes MMA debut 6 days after Alex became UFC champion

Alex Pereira’s sister makes MMA debut 6 days after Alex became UFC champion.

Aline Pereira, UFC middleweight champion Alex Pereira’s younger sister will be making her MMA debut on Friday night, just six days after her big brother became UFC champ.

On Saturday night at UFC 281, Alex shocked the world when he defeated Israel Adesanya in the final moments of the fifth and final round to earn the title.

Now, it will be his sister’s turn in the cage.

On Friday she’ll step into the MMA cage for the first time after having a career in kickboxing (just like Alex).

She’s facing The Ultimate Fighter alum, Helen Peralta at LFA 147.
