UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira has been in the spotlight due to his recent breakup with ex-girlfriend Merle Christine. Pereira claims he ended the relationship after discovering she was already married, an allegation Christine denies.
Pereira alleges that Christine was violent towards him and has a video of her attacking him. Christine maintains that she was the one who ended the relationship and warns that revealing the reasons would not end well.
Pereira has been engaging with fans and leading chants at UFC events, demonstrating his popularity despite his limited English. His catchphrase 'Chama,' Portuguese for 'flame,' has become a rallying cry for fans.
Pereira is reportedly back in training camp for his next fight, though the opponent and date have not been officially announced. There are rumors of a potential match against Tom Aspinall at UFC 300 or a trilogy fight against Israel Adesanya.
Despite the personal drama, Pereira remains a beloved figure in the UFC with a substantial fan following. He has won titles in two weight divisions in both GLORY (kickboxing) and the UFC, holding an MMA record of 9-2.
