Aline Pereira delivers ‘Pereira left hook’ KO at Karate Combat 50

by · MMA FIGHTING

Aline Pereira had a pretty good teacher.

Pereira, the sister of UFC champion Alex Pereira, knocked out Dee Begley in the first round at Karate Combat 50 at the Salt Palace Convention Center on Friday night in Salt Lake City, Utah.

“That’s the Pereira left hook. My big brother’s the one that showed me,” Aline Pereira said during post-fight interview.

Aline Pereira, who was making her Karate Combat debut, took the fight despite the fact her opponent Begley missed weight by four pounds.

Alex Pereira, who received a hug from his sister after her win, is coming off a devastating performance of his own when he retained his light heavyweight title with a fourth-round TKO of Khalil Rountree at UFC 307 last Saturday night.
