“A very merry Christmas present to the newly signed, undefeated Alice Pereira,” the UFC’s official Instagram account posted on Tuesday along with a video of Maynard calling to deliver the good news.She grew up in Sao Paulo alongside her brother and three other siblings, training in martial arts from a young age.After her most recent win over Samara Santos under the Cage Masters FC banner, she spoke directly to Maynard in the aftermath.She made a compelling case, telling him she ‘deserved’ to sign with his organisation—and her persistence has certainly paid off.“Mick, I won my sixth fight in a row, this time against a former One FC challenger with over 20 fights in her career,” Alice said on Instagram.Though not directly related to UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira, Alice shares both a surname and nationality with him, and possesses similar knockout power. Much like her brother, Aline initially competed in kickboxing, having fought in the GLORY promotion before transitioning to MMA.
