UFC Signs 19-Year-Old Brazilian Bantamweight Alice Pereira

The undefeated fighter earned her contract after a bold callout and an impressive 6-0 record in professional MMA.

  • Alice Pereira, a 19-year-old Brazilian bantamweight, has officially joined the UFC roster with a 6-0 professional MMA record.
  • Her signing followed a bold callout to UFC CEO Dana White and matchmaker Mick Maynard after winning a five-round fight against Samara Santos on December 14.
  • Pereira has demonstrated exceptional finishing ability, securing five of her six victories via stoppage, including an 11-second knockout earlier in her career.
  • Despite her shared surname with UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira, the two are not related; Alice Pereira is carving her own path in MMA.
  • As the youngest fighter currently in the UFC, Pereira is expected to be developed carefully, with her debut opponent likely to reflect the promotion’s confidence in her potential.
