“Guess I’m Lucky” – Alex Pereira Breaks Silence on Jubilant Achievement After Rumored Breakup With Girlfriend Merle

Alex Pereira has spoken and his fortune has shined bright. As if being the light heavyweight champion of the UFC wasn’t enough, now ‘Poatan’ has also won amazing prizes in a lottery. Regardless, is this enough to distract his fans from the wildly sparking break-up rumors?

Pereira is currently sitting at the top of the light heavyweight roster. With his win against Jiří Procházka, he’s secured the belt but has yet to defend it against anyone. With that, he could become the undisputed champ as well, but for now, that’s a bit further in the distance. It certainly looks like he’s enjoying his life to the fullest. Here’s all about his recent off-cour feat!

Alex Pereira wins big and it’s not money

Pereira has already won his title this year. And now, just as 2023 comes to an end, ‘Poatan’ took to his Instagram stories to let people know of another significant win. The bike lover in his must be completely enthralled because he just landed not one, but two bikes in a raffle.

“won two bikes in the raffle in less than 2 months guess I’m lucky” he wrote in his story that showed the tickets. He’s struck a pot of gold with his fortune. Other than that, as of right now, it doesn’t look like Pereira is anywhere close to being eager to get back inside a cage. However, he has an interesting prospect awaiting him.

Recently, rumors about Pereira fighting heavyweight title prospect Tom Aspinall. The two could butt heads especially since Pereira is no stranger to switching weight classes. He has only recently become a light heavyweight champion. So for him to go to heavyweight so fast would be a scary ordeal.

He mentioned how his body needed to get used to the new weight class before he could fight the big guys of the UFC. So for now, fans can look forward to a potential title defense in the coming year, especially among the swirling breakup rumors.

Heartbreak town for UFC’s beloved Poatan

Although it seems like luck is by his side, simultaneously, it appears that ‘Poatan’ is no longer following Merle on Instagram. Merle is Pereira’s long-time girlfriend and partner. It seems both of them have unfollowed one another from Instagram and are no longer together. Fans were quick to notice that the two may have subtly let the world know of their status.

Merle and ‘Poatan’ appear together in many pranks on the internet. In fact, she was a fan favorite for sure. So the two of them parting ways was quite a shock to everyone. Some fans even expected the two to get married eventually. Perhaps not all dreams are meant to last.
