Merle and Poatan’s Rare Moment Amidst Break-Up Rumors Resurfaces Leaving Fans in Splits – “The Reason Alex Pereira’s GF Left Him”

Alex Pereira is on the run of his life in the UFC, capturing two world titles in just seven fights in Dana White‘s promotion. However, things may not be working too well in his personal life. As rumors of Pereira splitting with his girlfriend, Merle, are gaining traction, fans recently came across a resurfaced video of a rare moment between the couple. Why is it rare? Because it showed their funny side.

Alex Pereira and Merle were first seen together after Poatan’s emphatic win over Israel Adesanya at UFC 281. He shared several social media posts of him with his girlfriend. However, Merle recently unfollowed him, which ignited rumors of a breakup.

A rare glimpse into Alex Pereira’s humor!

The internet is full of trends – from content creators making ASMR videos to attempting unusual dares to get views. Meanwhile, there was one trend that recently became popular. The trend involved a content creator fist-bumping a person, which in return, led to the content creator giving a gift. Alex Pereira attempted something similar!

The resurfaced video showed Pereira handing a dishwashing sponge to his girlfriend Merle after she fist-bumped him. She reacted with a smile.

The user who shared the video jokingly captioned it, “The reason alex pereira’s gf left him.” However, it is not known if they are together or not.

Twitter users did not disappoint. They quickly took to the platform to share their thoughts about the short clip.

Fans weighed in on “chill” Pereira’s moment with his girlfriend

Most people know ‘Poatan’ for showing no emotions, often calling him a ‘stone face’. However, one fan was surprised to see that Pereira also likes to have fun with internet trends.

Another fan shifted their focus to Poatan’s rumored breakup and believed that it could make the light heavyweight champion a much more dangerous fighter.

A few other fans echoed a similar sentiment. Their breakup stories have taken over the internet.

There was one Twitter (X) user who believed that Alex Pereira’s next girlfriend could be Israel Adesanya’s former partner. It seems the social media user was referring to how Pereira followed Adesanya to the UFC just to defeat him and snatch his title.

They also claimed that ‘Poatan’ might have seen what happened to ‘Izzy’ and his former partner and broke up with Merle because of that.

Days before their breakup rumors were sparked, the UFC champion was seen pranking Merle with a fake marriage proposal. And previously, he once introduced his girlfriend as a “special person” during a helicopter ride.

Fans will have to wait and see if Alex Pereira confirms or rejects the rumors. On the UFC front, the fighter faced Jiri Prochazka in November and won through TKO in round 2. With this, he became the new light heavyweight champion.
