Sister of 'Poatan' Aline Pereira fights muay Thai prodigy on Dana White's Contender Series
It'll be Karate Combat champion vs. former ONE standout with a UFC contract on the line.
Aline Pereira, sister of former UFC champion Alex Pereira, will face off against muay Thai prodigy Smilla Sundell in the final episode of Dana White's Contender Series. The 36-year-old Brazilian bantamweight clinched her first UFC opportunity after defeating Jade Masson-Wong at MVP MMA 1. Aline, a seasoned kickboxer and Karate Combat champion, boasts a perfect record of five consecutive wins in pro combat sports.
In contrast, Sundell, 21, has made a swift transition from pro muay Thai to MMA. She began her professional muay Thai career at just 17, claiming a 5-0 record. The upcoming matchup between the Pereira siblings and Sundell will take place on October 13th at Meta APEX in Las Vegas.
