Alex Pereira’s Sister to Make Pro MMA Debut at LFA 147 on Nov. 10

Aline Pereira will attempt to follow in her brother’s footsteps when she makes her professional MMA debut at Legacy Fighting Alliance 147 on Nov. 10.

Pereira, who is the younger sister of UFC middleweight title contender Alex Pereira, will square off against Helen Peralta in a flyweight bout on the LFA 147 main card. The promotion recently announced the event.

LFA 147 takes place at the WinnaVegas Casino in Sloan, Iowa, and is headlined by a lightweight bout between Junior Melo and Melquizael Costa. In the co-main event, Justin Wetzell will meet Rafael do Nascimento at bantamweight. The card will air on UFC Fight Pass at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.

Pereira has compiled a 6-2 record as a professional kickboxer, with multiple appearances under the Glory banner. Most recently, she challenged for the promotion’s super bantamweight title, dropping a five-round decision to Tiffany Van Soest at Glory 77 in November 2021.

A cast member on Season 30 of “The Ultimate Fighter,” Peralta has spent the majority of her MMA career competing under the Invicta FC banner. She last competed at Invicta FC 49, where she dropped a three-round verdict to Poliana Botelho on Sept. 28.
