Aline Pereira, sister of UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira, continues to prove that talent runs in the family. 

Competitive Start, Explosive Finish

The bout started evenly, with Torres using her speed to land some strikes, while Pereira utilized her reach and technique to control the distance. However, in the second round, "Lady Chama" unleashed a ferocious combination of strikes that ended with a left hook, sending Torres to the canvas. The Brazilian wasted no time, delivering hammer fists until the referee stopped the fight, despite Torres’ efforts to defend herself.

A Journey Forged Between Work and Training

Aline, who also works as an Amazon delivery driver, balances her job responsibilities with an intense training schedule. “It’s not easy, but we do what we must to keep moving forward,” Pereira shared. This dedication has paid off, allowing her to dream of a future where she can fully dedicate herself to martial arts.

Controversy and Future Goals

Despite her dominant performance, the stoppage sparked some controversy, as some believed the referee acted too quickly. However, this does not overshadow Aline Pereira's impressive showing, as she now boasts a 2-0 record in Karate Combat and looks ahead to a potential title fight.

With her brother Alex Pereira as her mentor and role model, Aline hopes to make her way to the major MMA leagues. The UFC champion has expressed his desire for his sister to continue developing her skills before making the leap to the world’s most famous octagon.

A Talent to Watch

Aline Pereira’s power has drawn attention from fans, who are already calling for her to sign with the UFC. Her devastating left hook, reminiscent of her brother’s, is quickly becoming her trademark in the world of combat sports.

The future looks bright for Aline Pereira, and her victory at Karate Combat 52 is a clear sign that she’s ready to take the next step in her professional career.
