Alex Pereira’s ex-girlfriend, Merle Christine, seems to be quite happy at the moment! With things going downhill for ‘Poatan,’ Merle uploaded a video that surprised UFC fans. Now, the rift between Pereira and Merle is well known. Despite being in a relationship for a relatively short duration, their parting ways had a lot of back-and-forth accusations. Pereira claimed that Merle had lied to him about her marriage and that she proceeded to abuse him physically.
Now, while their breakup saga ended quite a while ago, it looks like the feud is about to be reignited. Soon after the Brazilian’s loss at UFC 313, Merle mocked ‘Poatan’ on social media.
“We have a new light heavyweight champion. No more Chama. Karma. He lost on international women’s day. Maybe that’s a sign guys,” said Merle.
