Aline Pereira Set for DWCS Bout Against Former One Champion

Aline Pereira, the sister of former UFC champion Alex Pereira, is scheduled to compete in Dana White's Contender Series against Smilla Sundell, a former One Championship titleholder. This bantamweight fight will take place on October 13 at Meta Apex in Las Vegas, as reported by Brazilian journalist Leo Guimaraes and confirmed by Sherdog.

Aline Pereira, who has a mixed martial arts record of 3-2, recently won against Jade Masson-Wong at a mixed martial arts event organized by Most Valuable Promotions. She also has a kickboxing record of 6-2 and has remained undefeated in three Karate Combat matches. Her opponent, Sundell, has two professional MMA victories, both by technical knockout, and previously held the muay thai strawweight title in One Championship.

The upcoming fight provides Aline Pereira with seven weeks of preparation, potentially paving the way for her to join her brother on the UFC roster this fall.
