\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAline Pereira Reacts to Brother Alex Pereira\u2019s Message After Failing to Earn UFC Contract<\/p>\n

Aline Pereira has reacted to her brother Alex Pereira\u2019s message, following her most recent loss inside the octagon<\/a>. Earlier this week, Aline faced former ONE Women\u2019s Strawweight Muay Thai<\/a> World Champion Smilla Sundell in the Season 10 finale of Dana White\u2019s Contender Series, hoping to earn a UFC contract.<\/p>\n

However, after 15 minutes of nonstop action, the 36-year-old lost by unanimous decision.<\/p>\n

Her brother Alex, who was present in her corner during the bout, lauded her performance inside the octagon despite the setback<\/a>. \u201cPoatan\u201d posted on Instagram:<\/p>\n

\u201cToday I\u2019m just proud of you, my sister. You faced one of the best in the world, an experienced opponent, and even with a short time in MMA, you showed a lot of evolution, grit, and courage. The result didn\u2019t come, and many people had a different view of the decision, but that doesn\u2019t change the size of what you put in there. In recent years, I have not been so close to your training, and I believe that this distance has also made you find your own path and evolve even more.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou didn\u2019t settle; you ran back and grew a lot with Glover and the entire Teixeira MMA team. A fight doesn\u2019t define an athlete. You have proven that you belong at this level, and you still have a lot to come. I\u2019m extremely proud of you as an athlete and especially as a brother. I love you \ud83d\udd25\u201d<\/p>\n

I love you so much! \u2764\ufe0f\ud83d\ude4f\ud83c\udffc Thank you for everything you\u2019ve done and continue to do for me \ud83e\udd79 I am so incredibly grateful \ud83d\ude2d\ud83d\ude4f May God continue to bless your life always \ud83e\udd79\ud83d\ude4f\u201d [Translated via Google]<\/p>\n

Following her loss to Sundell, Aline\u2019s professional MMA record has dropped to 3-3. The Karate Combat women\u2019s flyweight champion could still earn a UFC contract by competing on next season\u2019s Dana White\u2019s Contender Series, provided the UFC CEO gives her another opportunity.<\/p>\n
