He left the fight fans in utter disbelief after the woman who succeeded in putting a smile on Pereira’s stoic face left him heartbroken. But things took an unexpected turn when Pereira’s name was joined with the female Brazilian mixed martial artist, Polyana Viana. However, there are times when the past comes back to haunt and leaves people in rageful moments.

Alex Pereira enraged on ex-girlfriend 

Pereira recently appeared on the ‘Connect Cast’ podcast. Therein, the host, Alexandre Lemos, asked the mixed martial artist a personal question. He asked Pereira about a post on social media wherein Polyana Viana was reportedly sighted at Pereira’s house in Connecticut. But the man with ‘Hands of Stone’ simply denied it all.

The UFC double champion claimed that Viana was in Las Vegas and not Connecticut. However, Lemos seemed persistent as he said that he saw Viana with her sister. But Pereira was adamant with his stance, as well. He said, “They trained. They trained there. Yesterday. Didn’t see it. They are in Las Vegas and she leaves and is training there. But maybe I think there are highlights here and I think it was from today. [translated by Google]”

But when Lemos shared the video footage from the talk show on Instagram, the ‘Poatan’ took to his story and left a message for his ex-girlfriend Merle Christan. The Brazilian champion wrote on his IG story, “This rat no won’t leave me alone forget me f***. Do everything to gain followers, why followers in a negative way? People who follow Merle please stop following me, after having the courage to cheat your husband has the courage to come here and comment, make a video and tell your verm version.”

Without a doubt, the end of Pereira’s love story with Christine created quite a hype in the fighting community. But have you ever wondered what exactly conspired between the two that made the two-year-long relationship come to a halt?

Why did the ‘Poatan’ break up with Merle Christine?

Pereira and Christine began dating a couple of years back and became each other’s lifeline pretty quickly. But in this age, relationships often don’t last and people leave. After the world of mixed martial arts witnessed a smile on Pereira’s stoic face, during one of their vacations at Germany, the public break-up hit the entire world. In an interview a few months ago, Pereira revealed the real reason for the break-up. 

The UFC champ revealed that Christine was actually married while he was in a relationship with her. Feeling disrespected, the ‘Poatan’ had no choice but to call it quits. He said, “Well, it’s a little hard to talk about this, because for me, I already deleted this person from my life. I would also like to ask my fans to also delete her from your life. It was a person I believed (in). I put her in my house together with my family. After all, I found out that she was married!”

Such things are hard to forget and heartbreak is never an easy chapter in one’s life. But for Pereira, rumors about him dating Viana are also on the rise. Do you think the rumors are true? Or is it all just a hoax? And what are your thoughts on Pereira’s recent outburst? Let us know in the comments down below.
