Alex Pereira’s dating life has become almost as popular as his achievements inside the Octagon! The Brazilian is coming off a spectacular knockout victory over Jiri Prochazka at UFC 303 where he made the second defense of his light heavyweight belt. Pereira wasn’t originally supposed to be a part of the event, but due to Conor McGregor’s abrupt withdrawal, ‘Poatan’s heroics in accepting a title defense on short notice saved the day for the promotion.

But while he is now on a 4-fight win streak inside the Octagon, his personal life outside the confines of the cage has become a source of much intrigue for the MMA sphere. Pereira was in the news last year for his break-up with his previous partner, Merle Christine, which occurred due to a surprising reason!

In an interview with the Full Send podcast, ‘Poatan remarked, “I would also like to ask my fans to also delete her from your life. It was a person I believed, I put her in my house, with my family. After all, I found out, she was married.”  The two later unfollowed each other and even erased all traces of their time together from their social media accounts.

Subsequently, Pereira’s dating life made waves again as he was linked to fellow Brazilian fighter, Polyana Viana. With several posts on social media with the pair posting skits together, rumors abounded about their possible relationship, however, the story came to an end when Viana later uploaded a picture online stating that she was “single and ready to mingle”.

Now, the rumors have started flaring yet again as Alex Pereira was spotted by the fans posing with another individual which has caught the attention of the online community! Here’s a look at what the fandom had to say.

Fans in a frenzy over Alex Pereira’s dating life yet again

One fan brought up the fact that the latest picture indicates that it’s not just Polyana Viana who’s “ready to mingle” as they claimed ‘Poatan’ is also enjoying his single life, “Bro replaced polyana.” While one fan was left so impressed with Pereira’s ‘dating skills’ that he simply exclaimed his amazement at the picture, “Man this man Alex a playa,” another brought up the fact that 2024 seems to be Alex Pereira’s year as he has had two spectacular outings at UFC 300 and UFC 303 with his dating life seemingly mirroring his MMA resume, “Bro having the best 2024.”

One fan wanted to know who the woman in the picture was but he found an answer in another user’s comment who added some more context to the situation, “Jeez who is she.” The community’s ‘Sherlock Holmes’ responsibility was then taken up by a fan who revealed that the lady in question is Maria Vieira, an MMA/Muay Thai/BJJ influencer who trained with ‘Poatan’ at the ‘Rangel Farias Team’ gym in Florianopolis, Brazil, “Bro, its Maria, she is not poatan girlfriend, they Just trained 1 time in Rangel farias’s gym.”

There was also a moment of self-reflection as a fan wondered why the MMA community is so obsessed with fighter’s personal lives, “the mma community is so strange man.” 

Some humorously took jabs at the entire situation as they claimed Alex Pereira’s face looked like he just went 5-rounds with Israel Adesanya, the last man to beat him inside the Octagon, “That’s the face of a man that went through his hardest battle yet.”

In conclusion, the fans had a field day with the latest rumors surrounding Alex Pereira’s dating life with some poking fun at his seemingly dramatic romantic escapades, while others expressed bewilderment at the intense interest in fighters’ personal lives. Whether he’s making headlines for his knockout victories or his intriguing love life, ‘Poatan’ has remained firmly in the spotlight in the MMA sphere!
