Alex Pereira seems to be quite unbothered by his recent loss. After a controversial decision cost him his title, many mocked Pereira. One of the notable ones among them was Christine Merle, Pereira’s ex-girlfriend. The duo had a short romantic stint before they went their separate ways. However, with the recent comments coming in, things between the two are looking far from being over.
Merle recently stated that it was “Karma” that caused Pereira to lose his title on International Women’s Day. However, the brutal mocking had little to no effect on the now-former UFC light heavyweight champion.
In fact, Pereira shrugged off the allegations and even roasted his former partner. Poatan stated, “I think she should stop mentioning my name cause her husband might get jealous, chama”

For the uninitiated, Pereira accused Merle of being married and keeping it a secret from the Brazilian. The UFC two-division champion also claimed that Merle allegedly attacked him brutally during one of their fallouts. Meanwhile, as the duo continued their verbal back-and-forth, the newly crowned champion had previously given a message to his haters.
