Teenage Prodigy Alice Pereira on the Verge of UFC History
At the cusp of UFC history stands Brazilian bantamweight sensation Alice Pereira, endearingly called the ‘Golden Girl.’ The 19-year old dynamo, armed with an impeccable 6-0 record, numerous initial round victories, and an inked UFC deal, shortly after she turned 19, is on the verge of entering the record books as the most youthful female fighter to compete in the UFC Octagon. Set to fight Montserrat Rendon at Noche UFC in San Antonio, her rise to fame is a testament not only to her skill, but the significant rise of young females in the sport.
Born and bred in Bahia, Brazil, Alice Pereira’s journey in combat sports started at an early age. Securing her spotless 6-0 track record with four knockouts and a submission, the majority of Alice’s wins have seen her opponents defeated in the first round. Her triumph in securing the Cage Masters FC bantamweight title in December 2024 and her commanding performance on a regional level raised eyebrows among promoters.
Acquiring such a coveted title, Alice Pereira swiftly reached out to UFC matchmaker Mick Maynard to sign a contract. The official announcement of her union with UFC came merely four days post her 19th birthday, making her among the youngest female athletes to ink a deal with the prestigious organization. Pereira’s combat style distinguishes her significantly, characterized by powerful strikes, high finishing percentages, and composure in high-pressure scenarios. The anticipation surrounding her UFC debut is electric and it is touted as one of the most looked forward to matches of the year.
As a result of her nascent UFC career, Alice Pereira’s net worth is quite modest, estimated to be under USD $100,000. The majority of her earnings are attributed to local fight winnings, minor sponsorships, and early fight performance incentives. Nevertheless, her signed UFC contract is likely to boost her revenue substantially in the forthcoming years. Currently known as one of the most exciting young prospects, she has the capability to unlock multiple revenue streams once she accumulates experience in UFC fights.
