Alex Pereira’s Ex-Fiancée Celebrates His UFC 313 Defeat
Alex Pereira faced Magomed Ankalaev in the main event of UFC 313. After five intense rounds, Ankalaev left the Octagon as the new light heavyweight champion, handing Pereira his first loss after five straight wins. However, the biggest surprise came outside the cage—Pereira’s ex-fiancée publicly celebrated his defeat.
Why Did Alex Pereira Break Up with His Ex-Fiancée?
Pereira and his former fiancée, Merle Christine, were together for a long time, with her supporting him through some of his biggest victories, including his entrance into the UFC. Known in the MMA community as “Ms. Poatan,” she was a familiar face alongside the champion. However, their relationship ended in an unexpected manner.
Pereira revealed that he broke off the engagement after discovering that Christine was already married. Her husband personally reached out to Pereira, exposing the situation. Upon learning the truth, Pereira immediately ended the relationship. The revelation shocked fans, as Christine had publicly been seen as the future Mrs. Pereira while secretly being legally married to another man.
Ex-Fiancée’s Reaction to Pereira’s Loss
Following Pereira’s defeat at UFC 313, Christine wasted no time sharing her reaction. She posted a video in which she appeared ecstatic, mocking Pereira’s loss and calling it karma. She also pointed out that the fight took place on International Women’s Day, hinting that it could be a “sign.”
“No more Chama, karma. He lost on International Women’s Day, maybe that’s a sign, I don’t know. A new light heavyweight champion, Ankalaev, congratulations! He did a great job, and if you say it was a robbery, you don’t understand MMA. That’s nonsense, the guy won, and he waited a long time for his title shot. I think we should give him credit, even if we’re not his biggest fans. No more Chama!”
The comments quickly went viral, sparking controversy among fans. While some agreed with her take, others criticized her for being bitter and disrespectful toward someone she once supported.

Alex Pereira and Coach Plinio Cruz Fire Back
Pereira wasted no time in responding to Christine’s comments. He took to Instagram with a simple but sharp remark, suggesting that she focus on her own marriage instead of mentioning his name.
“I think she should stop mentioning my name because her husband might get jealous, Chama!”
His coach, Plinio Cruz, also weighed in, reminding Christine of her past actions and advising her to move on.
“She should ride into the sunset and give her husband more attention. She spent time with both him and Poatan for a year without anyone knowing. Sheize!”
What’s Next for Pereira?
Despite the loss, Pereira remains one of the most dangerous fighters in the light heavyweight division. UFC President Dana White has hinted at a possible rematch between Pereira and Ankalaev. Both fighters have expressed interest in running it back, setting the stage for another explosive showdown.
While the drama outside the cage continues, Pereira’s focus will undoubtedly be on reclaiming his title. Whether or not his ex-fiancée will have more to say remains to be seen, but one thing is certain—Pereira is not letting the distractions stop him from getting back to the top.
