When your brother is Alex Pereira, there’s no question about giving up. ‘Poatan’s’ sister, Aline Pereira, stunned Conor McGregor’s teammate, Dee Begley, at the Karate Combat 50 bout with a knockout via an identical left hook. After years of inactivity, Aline Pereira was stepping into the Octagon, facing the much more active Begley on short notice. In addition to the short-notice fight, the Irish fighter weighed 9 pounds over the 125-pound limit set for the match, but Pereira didn’t shy away from the action.

She stunned the audience in Salt Lake City at Karate Combat 50 when she knocked out her opponent with a signature left hook. Aline first threw a straight right hand before landing the devastating left hook, sending the Irish fighter to the canvas. Aline then jumped on her opponent, delivering back-to-back punches until the referee stopped the match, with just 35 seconds remaining in the first round.

After the victory, Aline Pereira ran straight to her brother, Alex Pereira, who was in the stands waiting for his sister’s win. Despite fighting on short notice and at a different weight, Aline Pereira showcased why she has the ‘Poatan’ genes. Notably, during the post-fight interview, Aline acknowledged that she learned the combo from her brother.

Alex Pereira shared a moment when his sister won, embracing him in a heartfelt hug. Once the clip went live, the MMA community quickly weighed in with their opinions. Many commented that the power of the left hook seems to run deep in their family. Some of the fan comments were as follows:

“Ruthless competitive family”

“What’s Left Hook CHAMA”

“That left hook was so identical to Poatan’s, her stance is even pretty similar, crazy cool to see”

“That left hook DNA so dominant  it’s in the blood!”

“That left hook just runs in the family”

“Deadly left hook runs in the family”

It must be noted that Aline Pereira was frustrated to have fought her opponent in a different weight class, despite agreeing to fight on short notice. Regardless, what’s your take on Aline Pereira’s performance at Karate Combat 50? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
